Miss Kathy is one of the nicest managers I have ever met. She's never rude and always courteous.... I have never had an issue here and I wouldn't mind staying ever again. It is very nice, and very well kept
Kathy is always nice, very courteous, and always available to answer any questions. We have stayed here a few times within the last month, and have never had any problems with any staff, or other guests. 5/5 stars. Definitely will stay here again.
The motel is a nice to stay. And the staff are a bunch of great individuals. When I did have an issue with something it was handled quickly.
Well I'm currently in a rut in a living situation and the lady was very nice and kind hearted and served me with respect.. but if you choose between a roof or a bridge, this is by far better than soil..understand alot of places have rules and it is totally understandable.. love how this place has turned around!! Would recommend this place
Knowing Cathie is not there anymore is probably a good thing. Ok I will try again soon. My stay at the Nites inn was great though.
The manager is really nice housekeeper keeps the room clean and stocked been an awesome experience staying at the Rushmore Inn
I was there for a whole month and loved it management good rooms good water hot as hell close to the interstate shopping centers and much more and I will stay there again prices reasonable
Rushmore has unique small town charm, with a view of history. I've noticed management is really trying to turn this motel around! The staff extends great customer service with outstanding hospitality. The room was clean and comfortable. I definitely would recommend a restful stay here to any of my friends.
