Cozy, cozy, cozy

I adored my mountain-view room, where I sipped coffee on the balcony every morning while soaking in the fine scenery! The peaceful atmosphere, complete with deer grazing nearby, felt like a private retreat just minutes from Mount Rushmore. Plus, the breakfast spread was more than I ever expected-gourmet, cozy, and oh so delicious!

strongly recommend 🏔️❤️

Great stay with easy access to attractions

Had a cozy room with two queen beds and all the essentials. Loved the in-room fridge, microwave, and coffee maker for convenience. The location is perfect, just a short drive to Mount Rushmore. Breakfast was a standout with fresh eggs, bacon, and homemade biscuits. Plus, there’s a nice pool and hot tub to unwind in after a day of exploring.

Staying in Keystone felt like a cozy mountain retreat! The views of Mount Rushmore from my room were amazing. The breakfast exceeded my expectations. The only hiccup was the slightly tricky A/C unit. Would love to return soon!

I absolutely adored the rustic yet elegant decor throughout the lodge, making it feel charming and comfortable. The open spaces and gentle walking trails were perfect for enjoying peaceful strolls, especially for us seniors.

More variety in the breakfast options would help.

I loved the rustic yet elegant decor throughout the lodge, complemented by beautiful walking trails that made it easy to explore the grounds. The serene environment and fresh mountain air were absolutely rejuvenating for my soul.

More diversity in breakfast options would be appreciated.

The stay at this Ascend Hotel was exemplary, with clean rooms and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive to business needs, accommodating requests promptly. The breakfast featured a good variety, including hot items like scrambled eggs and bacon, paired with fresh fruit options. Additionally, I appreciated the 24/7 availability of coffee in the lobby.

WiFi was a bit slow during peak hours.

we had a fantastic stay at ascendant hotel! the breakfast was beyond what we expected, with so much more variety than just the usual continental fare. the location was perfect, only a short drive to mount rushmore, and we even spotted deer right outside our room in the morning. the friendly staff made our experience even better.

100% recommend

We had a great time with friends at the lodge! The hot tubs were awesome while we enjoyed views of Mount Rushmore. Plus, it's just a quick drive to town and the monument. Definitely a perfect spot for a fun getaway! I'd recommend it to anyone looking to relax.

The only downside was that our room was pretty average, but it didn't ruin our stay.

great access to parks and nearby landmarks for weekend wanderers

We enjoyed a quiet and comfortable room with a lovely balcony view to watch the sunset, and the breakfast was truly outstanding, offering everything from eggs to homemade biscuits, perfect for fueling our explorations nearby.

The great mountain view from my room's private balcony was a highlight that made my stay memorable, along with the welcoming and helpful staff. Breakfast in the gazebo was delightful, featuring fantastic options like delicious hamburgers. The lodge's tranquility provided a refreshing contrast to the nearby main street, allowing for exploration of the picturesque grounds. However, the average room features could use a touch more charm, and the dining options could have been more diverse.

I loved my recent stay here! The peaceful fire pit was a great spot to unwind after a day of hiking, and the continental breakfast was a real treat to kick off the morning. The WiFi was a bit slow, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy getaway! 🌲
