Very dated room, no hand towels, no wash clothes just 4 old towels. A few dead bugs on the floor. The heat/ac unit turns on and off the entire time. The breakfast was a bit of a joke by day 4- the coffee was water, 2 bagels and 1 slice of toast in the bread box. Every entrance of the building had white towels one the floor to catch water and ice but would just trip you. Everything about this place has changed in the last 2 years, it was so nice.. every day different breakfast options but now it’s just the same stuff. A mop sat by the eating area every day, why not put it in the closet.. cracked and run down tables and chairs in the hotel room and main eating area. The price was so good and we have stayed there before but unfortunately this will be the last.

First room that we had in the bathroom was black mold in the shower I notified front desk to switch rooms. Check out time is 11 am but Was awakened by staff at 9:30 am asking if I needed towels or shampoo 45 minutes later they were again knocking on the door and then came back a third time asking if I was staying another night or checking out. I understand that the staff wants to get rooms cleaned but if check out is at 11 I shouldnt be bothered 3 different times before check out 11 am. The hot water in the shower kept going from luke warm to hot and back to luke warm. Breakfast was good and rooms were clean all the vending machines on all floors were sold out of drinks but was able to purchase drinks from the lounge huge plus…beds a semi comfortable and you only get 2 towels and 2 washrags no handtowels...Im going to try to stay there again and hopefully have a better experience overall it is a little outdated but for the price and its location its a pretty decent place for what we paid for the night

The room was deplorable, walls were paper thin, bedding and towels were dingy and stained with random hairs all over it, the bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned well in over a decade, window ac was inoperable. Staff were accommodating but there’s only so much you can do when the filth is so overwhelming, I slept in my clothes on top of the covers and barely slept for a few hours until daylight so I could get the hell out of there and back on the road.

I’ve stayed at this property previously (2021) and it seems to have taken a down turn. Breakfast, the bar and common spaces seemed worse for wear than the last time. All the booking sites and their website say they have a shuttle (which they did last time). After checking in and paying we were told they no longer have shuttle service. If we would have known that prior to paying we would have moved to a different hotel in Deadwood. Not having that changed our trip as it is one of the reasons we chose the Blackstone. Quiet and out of the way with a convenient shuttle but we only got one of those things.

Lots of little things that were not great, made for an uncomfortable stay. Tv didn’t work properly, the tap in the bathroom had only hot water, very poor poor breakfast very dirty carpets, as most rooms are for pets.,.. very pungent headache causing cleaner smell throughout …. Probably to cover up the Pot smell every…. Very inexpensive …

The lobby is nice but the room needs some care, the drop ceiling was falling down in some places, the television didn't work, the exhaust fan in the bathroom was falling down, etc. The room was priced right for it's conditions though. It should be substantially under many of the other hotels in the area.

I arrived to check into my pet friendly room at 6:00 pm and the room wasn't ready. They weren't even busy...like 7 cars at the whole place. They offered me a room that had a broken tv. Plaster was falling from the ceiling above the tub. No hot water. Dog in the next room barked for hours. NO GRASS for the dogs to go. Had to load them in the car and drive to a park so they could potty. Unsecured screen on 1st floor window.

Room was significantly less quality than pictured. Bath tub was grossly stained, floor needed to be swept, sheet rock on the ceiling looked like it was recently patched but still looked questionable, window treatments were half hanging off. We went to check out the hot tub are and were disappointed to find that it’s in the parking lot, the mountain side view pictured is quoted deceiving. We also found lots of dog poop right by the gate to get into the hot tub area, looked like it has been there a while. At this point we decided we should check for bed bugs, went back to our room and started pulling sheets off the edge of the mattress. We did not find signs of bed bugs but our sheets had blood stains. Went to front desk and asked if we could change rooms and was told that the only other room available had an active leak in the ceiling so we could not have it. We were denied a refund. Ended up leaving and staying somewhere else. I understand it’s a cheap hotel but the place should be clean at a bare minimum.
