Top Rapid City Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Rapid City

8/10 Good

"The pool is nice. The slide is good. Beds and rooms are clean. Breakfast is excellent. All around a pleasant stay."

Elevation Inn & Suites, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Second time I've seated elevations first time was what drew me back for the second second time. The air handler in the room really didn't do anything luckily it wasn't that cold out so didn't need much heat. The refrigerator really didn't work either at all. Kind of disappointing all all. It's a nice enough place to stay and I would recommend doing it. But some of the facilities in the room I had the second time were not up to par"

The Rushmore Hotel & Suites, BW Premier Collection

6/10 Okay

"Decent stay, the room didn’t have a fridge that I paid extra for, the pillows were not comfortable. Bar staff was great. Went to have breakfast in morning and stood there 5 min waiting for someone to come help us and we finally left. We stay here whenever we go to rapid and this was the worst it’s been. "
