Beds were comfortable enough and the room was clean. About the most you can ask for out of an old historic building. Just wish they had mini fridges in the rooms

To be fair, the whole theme of Deadwood is 1880s, but I would like the room I sleep in to have a bit more modern security. The doors are interior doors like most people have on their home closets but they added two locks. One is a deadbolt which you don't get a key to (I assume security/maintenance has) so it only works from the inside, the other is an antique night latch which anyone can bypass from outside with a business card or screwdriver. Also, to properly open your door requires two hands simultaneously (one for the lock and one for the door knob), which sucks if you are carrying something. If you only have one hand, I guess you're SOL, but most things in Deadwood are not ADA compliant. Beyond that major complaint, the rooms are plaster on lathe as was the style 100 years ago. They have a simple kitchenette with a microwave and mini fridge in case you have leftovers. The beds are clean although only double-size. The water pressure in the shower was almost nonexistent even though the sink faucets (separate hot & cold) both had good pressure. I'll probably spend another $20 and choose one of the other, newer hotels next time I'm in Deadwood.

Noisy, very old 6" innerspring mattress, heat was unreliable and noisy (started humming in the middle of the night). Shower was supposed to be retro, but hard to adjust. Historic in the name but just never updated, not worth the money. Won't be staying there again.

The hotel oozes history. You walk from floor to floor and you see the names on the doors. They represent the west and its impact on our culture and history.

My bad! I reserved a "smoking" room. Ive stayed in smoking rooms before but this was super......special, to say the least. this room was, for real, on a whole other level. I used to be a smoker and honestly it doesn't bother me like this did. It was very "chemically" smelling and almost burned! For $200 a night i felt it was way over priced. It is an historic hotel so it does have that charm. The staff was friendly and helpful but as a "local" i wont be staying there again. Hope this helps someone.

Old quaint motel that is in need of a little facelift for sure. I can appreciated old but this was old! Separate faucets for hot and cold in sink.. and the hot is hot! Dangerous.. ha! A motel can be old and vintage with modern amenities. So definitely will wait for the facelift..

Building definitely needs some TLC, hot/cold on the shower was horrible. Every flush or water adjustment from another room affected ours. Showering was miserable.

The ground floor is beautiful. They make the parking very convenient by transporting you with a golf cart back to the Hotel after parking. The rooms are the very WORST rooms I have ever stayed in and should NOT be rented out to the public. The carpet was so old that it no longer stayed flush to the floor. The entire floor smelled of urine. Tiny and dark room. The smell was the worst & I did not want to write this review but felt that it would be wrong not to.
