“Lazy U Motel has a convenient location on Mt. Rushmore Road and offers basic accommodation; still, some past guests report issues with cleanliness and maintenance since the change in ownership. The comfortable beds are a plus for short stays, but inconsistencies are a concern. It might be best to consider other options.”
