Top Things to do in Rapid City
Top 10 hotels in Rapid City, United States
Rapid City has long been considered one of the gateways to the West, and its rich cowboy and Native American heritage is the result. Visitors won't want to miss the area's mammoth outdoor sculptures. There's Mount Rushmore, of course, but work also continues on the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial, which will be the largest sculpture in the world when it is finally completed years down the line. Among the many local attractions are the scenic Black Hills, several nearby cavern systems that offer guided tours and the South Dakota Air and Space Museum.

Be warned, No Maid Service
Reviewed By gatechmom5We enjoyed our stay in Rapid City but this place does not offer maid service unless you stay for 4 nights. After 4 nights, you can request this service. According to their posted signs, this is to protect privacy and adhere to social distancing guidelines. That is great to but patrons should be informed of this policy before making reservations or the room rate should be reduced. Sounds more like they couldn't get enough people to staff the hotel. Please be honest with the public! Their free breakfast was better than average. The location is a good starting off point for sightseeing in South Dakota but not for actually walking to anything in downtown Rapid City

IF YOU LIKE HOT SHOWERS AND INTERNET, THIS IS NOT THE HOTEL FOR YOU!
Reviewed By Mary WWe arrived at Midnight on a Friday night after a long day of flying, dying to have a hot shower. Turned on the water...stone cold. We also had no internet....we could get it in the hallway but not in our room. The next morning we left word at the front desk to have maintenance come up and see what they could do. We arrived back at the hotel after dinner and the same thing...no internet and ice-cold water. The weird thing is that the water in the sink was piping hot. My husband called the front desk wanting to switch rooms. They were full that night but were told we could move down to the 2nd floor at 11:00 the next morning. The is wasn't ideal as we were throwing a 90th Birthday party for my other, but went ahead and packed everything up to move. Got to the new room...tepid water only, and once again steaming hot water in the sink. We did however have internet service. We had to clean up the best we could in order to get to the the party on time. We were told again that maintenance would be sent up to fix the water. We arrived home late Sunday night to NO hot water. Monday morning, we called again and were told that a new hat water heater would be installed on Tuesday . My husband wrote an email to the owners and to this date we never did hear from them. We wanted to check out and get to a new hotel but had no time due to family obligations. Tuesday night...same thing, tepid water. (desk girls had told us the plumbers had spent all afternoon putting a new water heater in.) Is this the best Comfort Suites can do? Wednesday AM still very tepid water, and hot sink water. I was so fed up, I spent 20 minutes using an ice bucket to fill hot water from the sink to the tub. Wednesday night, the water seemed slightly better but could not call it warm or comfortable. Thursday was the same. Thankfully, we checked out Friday morning to go home. We have used this hotel for the last 8 years and loved it. No discount was offered to us upon checkout, so you can be assured we will not return to our favorite hotel in the future. The fact that the owners still have not responded tells us all we need to know...they must not care. A visitor expects a clean room, good air conditioning, and hot showers. We did talk to others in the elevator and parking lot and they also had no hot water. It was not just our room. Upsetting that they had us move rooms knowing full well we would not have hot water in the new room either. Customers would much rather know the truth. Had we known we would have checked out that first day.

Did not get a room with Mt Rushmore wall and this place does NOT have a pool.
Reviewed By Missie BEverything appeared ok until we got to the room. I was expecting a wall with Mt Rushmore on it like the pictures showed, that did not happen (kind of disappointing). And in the picture gallery there is a picture of a reception room with a dance floor. I thought it was a pool. I was really looking forward to the pool. Beds are very soft. Pillows even softer - nothing firm on these beds. Which is not a bad thing for some. No longer are the days of professional hotel employees that wear sharp hotel attire and act professional. This one is no different. Staff is short everywhere and you will see it here as well.
6. Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City, Curio Collection by Hilton
Overall Ratings
4 based on 2338 reviews
Daily Mandatory Charge will be added to the room rate and includes: Destination Marketing Fee, paid to Destination Rapid City. Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City, Curio Collection by Hilton combines an ideal location and a historic setting for a unique guest experience. The hotel has played host over the years to presidents and celebrities. Built in 1927, this quaint hotel combines the ambiance of the late 1920s with Native American art. When you enter the lobby and browse through the hotel, you'll notice the 'four sacred directions' symbols, a tribute to the area's Native American culture and beliefs. Also evident are a chandelier made to reflect a teepee, and hand-painted Sioux designs. Within walking distance are downtown Rapid City and Main Street Square with shops, restaurants, museums, and family activities. The historic Elks Theatre is next door. Mount Rushmore is a 25-minute drive away.
Okay Place to Stay
Reviewed By scootercusWe came in behind a tour bus so check in was a little crazy and one elevator was closed due to bringing luggage up to the tour members rooms. Making it worse, the housekeeping staff kept using the other elevator. After five full elevators I finally had the housekeeping staff get out of the elevator which they didn't appreciate. The bathroom was not really clean and the carpet was still wet. Otherwise the room was fine. They do give you a 2 for 1 coupon for the Starbucks which adjoins the lobby. They also have an Irish Pub in which the food is average at best. Valet is $29 if you want to use them. Otherwise you can park in a parking lot cate corner from the hotel or a parking structure a block away after 6 PM. Don't know if I would come here again.

Best value on our trip!
Reviewed By stevekX299HVSpent two nights here on a ten day trip. It was, without a doubt, the best value on the trip. The room was nice, clean and quiet. A bit of a hike to get there, but that just made it quieter. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast offerings were good. I was shocked by the low price and prepared for some disappointments that never came. Highly recommend.
