“What this property may lack in size, it makes up for with its proximity to Keystone's Main Street and Mount Rushmore. The presence of a fridge, microwave, and coffee-maker in each non-smoking room is a practical touch. While breakfast is available, expect a modest selection; consider it a starting point for the day's adventures.”
