I loved staying at the motel. It had an old-fashioned local charm like the motels. I remember when I was a child It also has a tap room and Maggie is there to pour a beer or two. Maggie is a great conversationalist

Perfect place

Seems like we were 10 minutes to all the major attractions. We walked to dinner every night and didnt have to pack up the car. At close as we were to town we still felt in the mountains surrounded by nature. We grilled and hung out at the taps room each night.

Nice little getaway

The location was great. Nice place to stay. We were gone all day and only their at night to sleep. Bed was comfy. The only thing is if you want to shower you better shower before everyone else or there will be no hot water. The shower/bath tub is small.

Rushmore

Good clean affordable place to stay. Walking distance to dinner, shopping, train ride. Could use a few updates but nothing too drastic. The owner has been putting work in on the place. The taproom was nice. Maggie at the taproom was awesome to be around. I would stay again

Allen Gulch

Couldn’t have asked for a better location, right in the center of all major attractions, walking distance to convenient stores, shop, restaurants and anything else you need. Host was very kind and helpful throughout our whole stay. Awesome tap bar and staff all around. Very very happy and satisfied with our stay. Will be back.
