Cleanliness was ok. The shower was next level and poorly designed, leading to water everywhere lol! The water park was clean and great for allowing our teen to chill after lots of hiking, as we were visiting all the national parks. Great location!

Great room, clean and comfortable beds- a well stocked breakfast. But the real reason you are there is the proximity to all the black hills have to offer with a waterpark for the hot afternoon “cool downs”. Stayed for three days and my kids would have loved to extend. Rushmore, Custer state park, badlands, crazy horse, and the minute man museum all within an hour of the location.

Breakfast had good variety loved the 1 bedroom suite layout for our family of 5. Not enough towels provided, but they did give additional when requested. Watiki resort access was the highlight of the trip for my kids. So many slides. A little difficult for my 2 year old because he wasn't old enough for a lot of the things, but still loves swimming in the pool woth the hoops.

A lot of the water park was closed during our stay. Our room was large with a nice kitchen and fridge set up. This was nice. The handicap accessible shower was terrible. Every time someone showered you had a pool of water all over the bathroom. When we checked into the room there was hard shredded cheese on the kitchen floor. So it could have been cleaner.

We stayed here for three nights. The hotel was very nice and the breakfast was delicious and so great to start our busy days with good food in our stomach. We used the laundry facilities and that worked great. The water park was SO fun. The kids had such a great time. My only complaint was the water park was really busy since there are other hotels connected to it. It was hard to find a spot to sit and fresh towels. The kids didn't seem to care though.
