Top Cosmos Mystery Area Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and well kept."

Powder House Lodge

8/10 Good

"Good location central to the places we wanted to visit. Food at the restaurant was excellent and super friendly staff. Parking at the cabin was really tight, but you had a designated space. Room was comfortable, but was a little soft for my liking, but room was quiet and had everything we needed."

Rushmore Express Keystone

8/10 Good

"This property has about half of their rooms motel style. I was not aware that I was renting a motel room. We had to pay more than expected because "Inn and Suites" does not usually include motel rooms. The breakfast was not special. Luckily the oatmeal was very good. The staff were helpful and courteous. The location was great if you are planning to see Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park."

K Bar S Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the setting of this hotel. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. Not walkable but short drive to shopping and dining area. Can see George Washington from this hotel so just a short drive to Mount Rushmore."

Ramada by Wyndham Keystone Near Mt Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for less than 24 hrs but this is my take away; check in was seamless and staff at front desk were pleasant and friendly. Room was on the smaller side - bed comfy, bathroom clean, towels neatly ready, bath amenities in shower were full and ready. Breakfast was enough for a road traveler. Yes property is on the older side but very well.maintai rd. No noise and other guests were pleasant. I would stay here again should I find myself in Keystone SD again!!"
