great place to stay, not too close to Mt. Rushmore

My daughter and I stopped here to stay overnight on a road trip, thinking it was closer to Mt. Rushmore. It ended up working out okay since there was less snow here than close to Mt. Rushmore the night we were driving in to stay. The front desk service was polite and helpful, though my daughter was a bit freaked out by the lifesize (stuffed?) buffalo in the lobby. The continental breakfast was good, the rooms were comfy and clean, and they spoiled us with 4 pillows per bed-leading us to request the same number of pillows at the next two places we stayed. We checked out on Thanksgiving Day after one night here, and found that the drive to Mt. Rushmore was further than we thought, perhaps an hour drive? Overall, the people were nice, the town small and quaint, and it was a cozy place to be when it was super cold outside.
