We got great value for our money with a comfortable room and a furnished balcony that had a sideways view of the Mount Rushmore presidents. The location of the lodge was fantastic, just a few minutes' drive to Mount Rushmore, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

Breakfast delights could have been better with some additional options such as omelettes and eggs to order, biscuits and gravy, etc.

The view of the nearby attraction was breathtaking, especially during the Christmas season. The breakfast spread was more than satisfactory with a great variety of options. The location of the hotel was convenient, allowing easy access to the town and its amenities.

There was a major downside to our stay – the wifi. It was excruciatingly slow, making it difficult to stay connected and share our holiday moments with loved ones back home.

Excellent accommodations, friendly staff, and delicious breakfast. Unexpected rain resulted in free extra nights and provided meals. Ascend management was attentive. Ideal location near town but still peaceful and quiet.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, nestled in a beautiful area with stunning surroundings. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a large grassy area, a cozy fire pit, and a pub/restaurant where they served a delicious and varied breakfast. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. Additionally, the parking was convenient, and there was easy access to transportation, including a nearby railway line. this hotel provided a clean and comfortable experience in a picturesque location.

Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.

The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The comfort of the rooms and the breathtaking views were a highlight, as were the immaculate grounds. The breakfasts were hands down the best I've had at any hotel of this caliber. I would definitely stay here again and will highly recommend it to my friends.

Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

Convenient location near popular attractions; easily accessible to Keystone, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and Devils Tower. The breakfast options were great with a variety of choices such as waffles, scrambled eggs, breakfast meat, and fruit. Additionally, the staff was friendly and accommodating.

The rooms were a bit dated and could use some updating. The lack of cleanliness in the bathroom was a letdown, with hard water build-up on the faucets and shower heads.

Nice, clean hotel in a good location with beautiful scenery. Convenient amenities such as a mini fridge and coffee maker in the room. Staff was pleasant and the lobby offered hot drinks and cookies.

Some noise issues due to neighbors slamming doors, which affected the overall tranquility. Limited breakfast options, especially for those with dietary restrictions.

Convenient location, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable rooms, breathtaking views, immaculate grounds, delicious breakfasts.

Nothing, it is perfect.

Great location near Mount Rushmore, friendly staff, included breakfast, beautiful grounds, on-site pub and coffee bar.

Felt very welcome, no reason to complain.

We stayed at Ascend Hotel for 3 nights and had a fantastic time. The free breakfast on the deck was delicious, with a stunning view of Mt Rushmore. The private patio seating area by the railroad tracks provided a serene atmosphere. The hot tub was the perfect way to relax, with Mt Rushmore in the background. The lodge itself was beautiful, and the location was ideal for visiting the main attractions in the area. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to assist us, especially during the snowy weather. We definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again!

100% Recommend this hotel.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, directing us to a great restaurant in town and reminding us to catch the illuminated Mount Rushmore from the balcony after dark. The buffet breakfast was amazing, with a wide selection of food including pastries, fruit, juices, cereals, hot and cold options. The views from the dining room and deck were fantastic, with a peaceful and rustic setting. The lodge was a little off the main road but still close to town, making it convenient. we had a great experience as business guests.

Felt relaxed, nothing to complain about.

We got great value for our money at the Lodge. The room was clean and the view from our balcony was amazing. The location was perfect, with plenty of trails and wildlife to explore. The staff treated us kindly and were always helpful.

The breakfast offerings could be improved with a wider variety of options.

Great location, peaceful surroundings, clean and comfortable rooms, self-serve breakfast with variety, good value for money.

It was all superb.

Located in a beautiful hillside, with stunning views of Mt. Rushmore from the room and private balcony. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Close to downtown Keystone and a short drive to Mt. Rushmore. Tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Good breakfast options.
