The restaurant was pretty vacant as well. It appeared they had potential for a buffet but no food in it. The food, aside from kids meals, was actually expensive. $11 for a burger and fries.. in South Dakota? The bison burger was a frozen patty and was nothing to brag about. In fact, I make bigger and better bison burgers myself. I had a bite of the Indian taco which was quite good.. and big.. so I would recommend this as it is not something you get to try everywhere you go. Service was kind of slow. Anyways.. I probably wouldn't recommend this place unless you want a kids meal.

How serendipitous that after about an hour of trying to find this place, we ended up here. Now the place is an eyesore. As with many places in the Midwest, but it gets four stars because of the bar keeper and the good food. Julie was so nice and personable. She poured me one of the Boulevard beers and when I asked about another one, she gave me a taste. Too bad my neurons can't make the right connections and remember the names of the beers I tried. Old age is a bitch. I also asked for a veggie quesadilla and she was able to make a very delicious one with plenty of mushrooms, tomatoes, green peppers, and olives. Delicious and healthy! If you are in Hill City, please visit Julie and try some excellent tap beer and the best veggie quesadillas in Hill City!

We stayed here while visiting the Badlands, and while the hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and…read moreexactly what our family needed, I need to talk about David, who worked the continental breakfast area. David is not a breakfast attendant. David is a hospitality wizard who has somehow chosen to use his powers in Wall, South Dakota. He is a force of nature. A once-in-a-generation talent. A man whose mastery of hospitality borders on the supernatural. Every morning he greeted guests with a smile, kept everything stocked, cleaned, organized, and running smoothly, all while making people feel genuinely welcome. My family looked forward to seeing him each morning. I've stayed in hotels all over the country, and I can confidently say that David may be the single greatest continental breakfast attendant in the history of lodging. If there were a Breakfast Hall of Fame, he would be a first-ballot inductee. If there were a Mount Rushmore of hospitality workers, they would need to carve a fifth face. At one point I watched him refill the pancake station with such efficiency and grace that I briefly wondered if I was witnessing an advanced civilization disguised as a hotel employee. Scientists should study his ability to keep coffee flowing, raspberry-filled donuts available, and traveler morale at peak levels. Economists should measure the positive impact he has on the local tourism industry. Historians will someday ask how a continental breakfast at a roadside hotel became legendary. The answer will be simple: David. In all seriousness, David was incredibly friendly, hardworking, and professional. He made a great hotel stay even better. Give him a raise. Five stars for the hotel. Six stars for David. P.S. - If I ever return to Wall, South Dakota, it will be partly to see the Badlands again, but mostly to verify that David is, in fact, a real person and not a hospitality legend passed down through generations of travelers.

Also, really enjoyed the outdoor pool during the hot days and walking my little 6 lb poodle in your well kept dog area several times a day (real grass! Cement walking path, too). It is lovely!! The grounds are well kept! The grass was getting watered by your inground sprinkler system daily and everything was just kept up and so CLEAN! The Golden Spike will now be the only hotel we stay in during our yearly summer family vacations with our adult children & grandkids. I have already told many family & friends how great The Golden Spike is and that they should try it next time they are in the hills. I actually stayed that The Golden Spike when I was a kid, with my family, for the first several years it was opened, in the 1970s & spent most of my time in the outdoor pool. Not sure why it took me so long to decide to try it again after 45+ yrs, but we all loved it!! We have stayed at some good, and unfortunately, some bad (dirty, not updated) hotels & cabins in the hills over the years, but now we've found our forever hotel. Please continue to keep working hard in keeping up The GoldenSpike with new updates as needed and keeping it super clean. AND please don't ever get rid of your outdoor pool. We love & enjoyed it so much. They aren't many of them in the black hills. When it's time to update your outdoor pool we are hoping you will consider replacing it with one that's larger so there is more room for family fun & swimming laps, too. We'll continue to spread the word on what a great hotel this is!! We love Hill City & the majestic Black Hills of South Dakota!

Overall, the room had outlets for our toys (phones, camera, laptops, etc.), and it was spacious enough and modern enough. Our biggest complaint was being put on the 2nd floor and lugging our baggage up 3 flights of stairs. Also, the continental breakfast was marginal. (In Europe, a continental breakfast includes fresh pastries, jams, butter, and coffee/tea - things you might buy in an upscale bakery. Often in the States, it's coffee and vending machine fare wrapped in plastic, just as it was at this place.) On the PLUS side, Keystone is about as close as you can get to Mt. Rushmore (about 3 or 4 miles). Custer State Park and the Crazy Horse Memorial are also nearby. (You can get to Custer for breakfast in less than 30 minutes.) And the price was very inexpensive (which is marketing spiel for 'cheap'). Few motels (and fewer restaurants) are open in Keystone in February, so our options were very limited. If we stay in Keystone again, we'll likely try one of the other options for comparison. But we visited at just the RIGHT TIME of year. Keystone is a wall-to-wall tourist trap, and you are forced to crawl through town (20 mph limit) to entice you to stop and buy something. With all of the kitschy store fronts, this place must be a zoo during the summer. If forced to come during the summer, I would stay 30 minutes away in Custer before staying in Keystone. In winter (February), the town is almost empty (both day and night) with very, very light traffic - perfect! Since all of the trees nearby and around the monument are evergreens, photos are just as beautiful during winter as summer. (SO, VISIT IN WINTER!)
