Best Hotels near Bear Country USA, Mount Rushmore UT

Stayed here for 2 nights out of the 3 we had reserved on our family vacation to Mt. Rushmore. We typically stay in hotels and I thought it would be fun for something different to stay in a cabin. What was nice about it is the location to Mt. Rushmore is awesome, 4.5 miles away. It is also just down the road from the quaint town of Keystone and the restaurant next door is great! It was quiet and peaceful in a pretty setting of pines and a view of the hills from our deck. The owner at check in was super nice and helpful. I liked that they do not bother you during your stay with housekeeping services, if you need something, just ask! What we didn't like about the particular cabin we stayed in was it was basically 2 bedrooms with a shared bath - which the shared bath was just fine. The shower was wonderful, great water pressure and water was good and hot. The TV was in 1 bedroom and the fridge/microwave/coffee maker in the other. So, we all needed to sit on one bed to watch TV and tippy toe into the other room to make morning coffee without waking the people in that bed. It would have been nice to maybe have 2 beds in one room and utilize the other room as a little kitchenette and sitting room for comfortable TV viewing. It was not comfortable in the room, we spent the majority of time on the deck. The beds were hard, which some people like. I slept on the floor the 2nd night and slept better. I was going to give it an average rating but try to be very fair in my reviews, my preferences don't necessarily mean I would not recommend the place. You just have to keep in mind it is a cabin, not the Hilton. My husband described it as a step up from camping. So, if you are campers and enjoy that then you would really like it here and I would recommend it! Like I mentioned before; the location and owner are wonderful and I like to support local businesses when able!

First of all being a Wyndham property you would expect better service. Room was very small and cram. Breakfast was a waste of time they ran out quickly. Same breakfast everyday Biscuits and gravy, waffles wirh no syrup. Pool not accessible due to children wild un attend too by parents. The cable went out no one to fix it. No tv to watch Will not stay here again. I might gotten better service at the days Imn

Baymont transferred our reservation to Ramada due to remodeling issues. Very disappointed with the small room as you had to bend your head to skinny around the hanging TV to get to other side of bed. The toilet was so low to the floor you felt like you were falling down but you could lower the ironing board hanging on the wall to do you ironing while sitting on the throne. Two ice machines were broken making it difficult to locate ice. Fire alarm went off as we had just gone to bed with no clear direction on what we needed to do or if it was safe to go back to our room. Close to a number of our destinations and some good food/menu options on the Boardwalk within walking distance. Garbage laying in hallways and outside the doors that guests would discard. Would not stay here again.
