And, the internet worked quite well -- better than one often finds in larger properties. The less than good: This is a property which has had few if any improvements or renovations since it was built -- decades ago. Aged, wrinkled carpet; electrical outlets so worn that plugs literally will fall out of them; really tiny bathroom-really; a through-the-wall HVAC unit sealed by duct tape; no desk; very old and "dated" furnishings. But, looking around, we guessed that the Sunshine Inn is about as good as one can do in Wall SD. Not sure, but that's the way it appeared. Score: 2.5

This lake has clear waters and interesting rock formations, as you will find in all of Custer State Park. You can spend a day on the water relaxing at this lake. They have kayak rentals, stand up paddle board rentals, and canoe rentals. If you would like, you can stay at the lodge there to soak in all the best things related to Legion Lake. Legion Lake has a dockside grill menu, although we didn't eat here so I can't comment on it. I love that everything here is so convenient for a relaxing time on the lake.

Beautiful setting near the lake. The front desk was rude. They tried to make us move cabins. We…read morereserved a cabin for Thursday and Friday then my girlfriend reserved Saturday. We made sure it was the same one when we talked to the lady at the front desk she said we had to move to another cabin. Luckily we contacted reservations and they worked it out, but we missed 2 hours of sightseeing to do this. No apologies or how can we make this better. The cabin had a broken air vent and particle of wood came floating out during the night as it was over the bed. We love Custer and all the wonderful things in the area but won't be staying at this lodge again.

Could it use a refresh/update inside? Sure, but what other place at their price point couldn't? Would we have liked a microwave in the room and breakfast? Sure, but we knew that's not what they had and that was fine. Each time we were in the office, it was a pleasant 15 minute affair with small talk, local information and just amazingly pleasant staff. Took 2 steps out our door, looked left, and could see the presidents' faces in the distance. The AC worked well, the beds and refrigerator were fine.

This place is 5-stars for what it is, which is a clean, comfortable room as close to Mt. Rushmore…read moreas you can get. BE AWARE that this is an OLD property, as most/many of the hotels in the surrounding area are. So, you're not going to get a large, sprawling lobby, elegant decor, shiny new furnishings, etc. The air conditioning unit is a bit noisy, but it works. That being said, it is evident that the owners have invested themselves in making the most of what they have, with comfortable bedding, the addition of mini fridges and microwaves to the rooms, and a coffee/tea bar in the lobby stocked with fresh coffee all day. Most importantly, the rooms are CLEAN! Everything is in good repair and clean, and that's what matters most! This place offers a comfortable and enjoyable stay for your trip to Mt. Rushmore. And yes, as many others have mentioned, you can view Mt. Rushmore from the property, which is a nice bonus!

We were driving a rental car, that had a wonky license plate that was hanging on by one screw. As we walked in the restaurant manager had noticed our license plate, and offered to help us fix it when we were finished. He then sat us in a partially full dining room, which is beautifully decorated. I went with the bison chili, and it was super tasty! For me, it was a little bit on the spicy side, but I know for a lot of people they would love it that way. I asked for a side of cornbread, as I had just ordered a cup of the chili, not the main chili meal, and they were very gracious and brought one out. The cornbread was also super delicious! As we finished our meal, it had started to rain. The manager stood by his offer to help us with the license plate, and met us just up the road a bit at a place where the maintenance supervisor's truck was located so that he could get us a zip tie to fix our license plate. It was such a nice gesture, and we appreciated that he went out of his way to help us. We would highly recommend the Blue Bell Lodge!

Hoooooooooooo boy where to start. THIS IS THE PLACE!!!…read more Man this place is super cute AND reasonably priced. We got a room pretty late last night because a friend and I took a last minute road trip. We did not think it would be hard to get a room here, but every pace we called was sold out. I called at 930pm and she came downstairs and met me at the desk to give us her last cabin. We had the school house cabin which is one queen bed but hey, beggars can't be choosers. The cabin is really cute and they al have their own air conditioner and I presume a fan. According to google, this place was built in 1929 and I don't know if she bought it or was passed down through the years. Because she isn't serving breakfast, we got a goody bag filled with items for 2 people which is above and beyond in my book. She gave me a bunch of info about the town as I checked in. If we had gotten here earlier and it wasn't down pouring, we probably would have made use of the fire pits. The shower....... sweet baby jeebus there is water pressure. If you've ever seen the Seinfeld episode where Kramer buys the black market high pressure shower head, that's how it comes out. I mean my god did it spray. Even my clothes on the floor were damp. Word to the wise, start with the cold water and the. The hot water. I am going to come back here at some point with my family and I'm going to stay right here. It's a shame there aren't more reviews because this place is underrated on Yelp.

Room was also next to where they served breakfast, so at around 6 am you could hear them preparing for the morning meal. Lots of clunking and slamming things.

After stopping at the Holiday Inn Express in Mitchell, I looked to see what that room was here....sure enough, it was storage and restrooms. If they try and give you room 125, RUN.

Check-in was quick and easy. The rooms are a bit outdated in style, but they are very clean and comfortable. I do wish the bathroom had been a little larger and that it didn't have a shower curtain instead of a glass door. Housekeeping is not provided daily, but you can request fresh linens and amenities each day, and they will be delivered to your room. Overall, it's fairly priced, great for families, with plenty of parking and lots of nearby services. I would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting the area.

I booked the suite here which was a steal for the price. I prefer to book bigger rooms when I can so my family has some space. This room (#200) definitely did not disappoint. We had two bedrooms, one loft and one downstairs, both with queen sized beds. Two pull out sofas. Three TVs, in the bedrooms and living area. The jacuzzi tub was an awesome extra I didn't even realize we were getting. The kitchenette was nice but there were no utensils or cups, so bring your own. There is an indoor pool here which looked nice but we didn't use it. The laundry room was very convenient, we did use that. Staff here was friendly. The breakfast is a doggy bag style breakfast due to Covid. They give you a bag with a fruit, water and either a granola bar or microwaveable Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich. I know my room was probably very different than their standard rooms but it was immaculate and HUGE! Definitely splurge on the suite, it wasn't much more than their standard rooms.
