Dear Valued Guest,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!
5 out of 5
Due to the very (!) low price, I was concerned that this hotel would be a dump. It was such a relief to pull up to a beautiful, updated/new hotel in a quiet area off of the freeway (near another large hotel and some businesses, so I was more confident about the security of our vehicle in the lot).
It was just as beautiful inside- very spacious rooms, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The appearance, linens, and beds would be along the lines of a Hampton...mid range and well appointed. Even the shower head appeared new (I've traveled a lot for work, and even higher end hotels often have unsanitary fixtures/they fail to clean or replace them).
Our kids loved the pool. The fitness center was very small (three pieces), but their climbing machine was top of the line (burns more calories than most I've used- awesome)! It would be nice if they had a hot tub, but they do offer board games and fun options for the little ones.
We did purchase some disposable plates/cutlery, so I'm not sure how well they stocked the dishes. Regardless, there was a sign that offered any additional, forgotten, or necessary items... gratis.
We had a few minor issues (drain plug got stuck, missing shower curtain), but the staff was very apologetic and the problems were easily resolved. For the price, I couldn't be happier (it was worth at least double what we paid). I would highly recommend this hotel, and my family and I will definitely stop there if we're ever in the Rapid City area again.

A suggestion- put non- skid surfaces in the bathtubs or have a tub mat to prevent slips- the tub was very slippery- room 208
Dining room is too small to accommodate a full hotel- food was good but it was difficult for the staff to keep up with fresh food. ran out at times.

Food service was a bit slow, daily lack of breakfast items. Pool was on the cool side and the room should have been warmed. We had to move from the initial room due to bad odor as you walked in.
