Filthy floors.
The property was older as we expected. Many reviews said the same but said it was clean. It was clean everywhere except the floor. It was filthy! You could feel the grit as you walked across the floor. I wipped a small spot with a wet paper towel I had and it cam away brown like dirt. We never took our shoes off till we climbed on bed. Bathroom floor was ok.

It was a great location but everything about the place screamed "I got the cheapest furnishing, decor and appliances. The vinyl flooring in the bathroom is is bubbling up and needs replaced, and the shower head needs cleans of calcium. From the looks of the outside I was afraid it would be dirty but it was not.

Although the staff was very kind, the property is in poor condition. The small TV has maybe 3-4 channels. There is no shower gel, but cheap soap that doesn't really clean. The shower is very small. I am not tall (5'7") and I had to crouch to get beneath the water. Despite the claim that there is wifi, it was completely unavailable in my cabin. The price is right, I slept well, but would not recommend staying here if those issues are important to you.

Cute Cottages Nestled in the Mountains
The Brookside Motel felt more like staying in a cute little cottage or cabin rather than in a motel. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the Motel seems to attract other friendly tourist. We striked up multiple conversations with people at this motel and got along with everyone. Very close to Mount Rushmore and other attractions in Keystone.

This motel is directly on the side of the road and we had a room on the front. Front desk upgraded our room so that we had 2 double beds and they were extremely polite and helpful. The walk into town was only about 5 mins and there is enough to keep you occupied for a few hours. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was very good

Cute place in Keystone!
Check in was very nice! Nice size refrigerator in my room, very clean! With fall coming on i couldnt get the floor heater to turn on & the blanket was very thin. I slept in my sweatshirt & heated vest & it was cold. Other than that it was a great place to stay!
