“This place balances location and renovated comfort well, especially for those visiting the nearby Badlands Amphitheater. The on-site Indian restaurant, Sam's Kitchen, is a definite plus, and room service is available. While there's a bar downstairs, it might not always be open, but the super nice staff more than compensate.”

The East Indian restaurant is very popular. The aroma of delicious food wafted upstairs. Live music and a bar downstairs add to the vibe.
