Family-friendly Hotels in Deadwood

My family moved from the Alex Johnson to this hotel. While this hotel is marked as a 3-Star hotel, the Doubletree was FAR superior than the 4-Star Alex Johnson. The location is amazingly convenient to site seeing in Deadwood as well as the Black Hills. We also spent time in the Badlands and the drive was only 1 hour. The rooms are HUGE and new. We never heard our neighbors or even noise in the hallways. The hotel was spotless and cleaning staff was always present to ensure cleanliness. The staff was welcoming, helpful and made sure the kids always had fresh cookies! We stayed for the 4th of July and the hotel also had itineraries of all the area events to make tourism easy! Great on-property dining with kid-friendly options as well as stocked general store and gift store. ****** was casual and did not ever feel like an in appropriate environment for kids. Parking was free and very easy to park. Would definitely stay again!

An OK hotel, but not as good as depicted on the website photos. The rooms are clean and tidy, but are starting to look a bit tired and in need of a good refurbishment. No breakfast, although there is a reasonably good restaurant next to the hotel. The good thing was that a hopper bus stopped right outside the hotel for journeys into and from Deadwood. Deadwood was also disappointing; it looks like a great old western town from the photos, but when you walk along the street you’re met with loads of noisy casinos and tourist traps. The nearby town of Lead was much more interesting.

If you have a disability or ay mobility issues at all this is not the hotel for you. There is no handicap parking at the hotel, just shared parking a few blocks away. There is a valet service, but they had gone for the day when I arrived. To add insult to injury, even after asking about handicap parking options, the room they gave me was at the very end of the hotel, which is a block long. The hotel itself is fine, but people with disabilities need to find other accommodations in Deadwood.

We were in a bind finding last-minute accommodations for our trip and had never stayed at a Marriott before. We were pleasantly surprised by how great this hotel was. Though it wasn't in the main thoroughfare, we ended up driving into town and paying for parking, despite paying for parking at hotel, too, we would stay here again. (I'm sure you can walk pretty easily to main part of town, but we were busy and the walk was really hot and unshaded.) The room was HUGE and very clean. The pool area was just as nice as everyone said and the hours were later than advertised, too. 10pm-midnight was a no kids allowed zone and it was perfect for relaxing after a long day of trail rides and hiking. Morning breakfast was pretty standard and dull, so we mostly just grabbed coffee and went on our way with some granola bars. Parking above ground was always available and felt safe to us. Don't know what some other reviewers were scared of. The room was quiet at night and the A/C worked. Doris, the manager at the front desk was super helpful and friendly to us and explained the pool, some local tips, and the trolley outside. She was great!

The location of the hotel was easily walkable to Downtown Historic Deadwood, even though it is located at the edge of town. There is also a local shuttle. There is a ****** located on the main floor, with the hotel above. Check-in on the 2nd floor. Know in advance the rooms are very small with no closet or storage. There was a bar with a few hangers on it and some hooks. When I inquired about the lack of storage and space I was told the hotel was designed to resemble a European Hostel. That was not what I was looking for, but I had booked the room already, and we were traveling with another couple, and we wanted to stay together. There is absolutely no unpacking your luggage if you are there for an extended stay. We were there for 2 nights, and we had to rearrange the tiny tables, so we were able to open our 24 inch suitcases at the same time without using the bed. If you are a backpacker it’s fine. If you have children or are staying for an extended amount of time inquire about a larger room, or stay somewhere else. But the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The lighting in the room was interesting to say the least. It was either off or on with megawatt brightness. The lights located in the ceiling over the head of the bed are super bright, and they are not dimmable. Also there is only 1 switch to operate them on 1 side of the bed. I wish there had been a low watt lamp on the other side of the bed because my husband usually falls asleep an hour or 2 before me. Luckily for me my phone has a flashlight app. The bathroom was bright and clean with soap, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion provided, along with a hairdryer. I was easily able to get extra towels. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate were available 24/7. The breakfast provided was delicious. It was the best on our trip. They have a pancake machine that resembles an Easy bake oven. The fresh pancakes it made were very good, and it was fun to watch! The hotel also provided scrambled eggs, toast, and bagels with a breakfast meat. Oatmeal, 2 different cereals, and fresh fruit were also available. Just go early. Breakfast ends at 9 am sharp. Know before you go!

The hotel was very clean, a little older of a hotel but it had covered parking area which was nice. A nice breakfast was included every morning which included cereal, eggs, pancakes, waffles, breads, etc.. We went for Sturgis Bike week so everything was extremely busy and of course we paid more than three times the price per night for the hotel. It was close to Deadwood, walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. Lots to do in the area. If we go back, it would be before or after bike week so it wouldn't have been so busy.

Decent hotel. We got a suite with the hot tub inside. We were surprised at the size of the suite. There was a living room area and another room with the bed and the hot tub, TVs in both rooms Hot tub is a decent size for 2 adults. Very slippery though, they need to put some bathmat in there, you end up sliding if you sit back a little. For the price that we got, I wouldn't complain though. If I had to pay extra for that room because it's a suite, I don't think I would. Everything seems pretty old and needs some upgrades. Furniture is 70s-80s style. Otherwise, clean and decent.
