Top Rapid City Hotel Reviews

Foothills Inn

8/10 Good

"Good morning. Good afternoon. Great service."

Comfort Suites Conference Center Rapid City

8/10 Good

"We arrived and there was no one at the front desk for about five minutes. Then I and another family realized we had to push/ring the bell. There was then no one at the counter even we checked out the next morning. Beds comfortable. Son got a cut on his foot from the rough pool floor."

My Place Hotel - Rapid City, SD

8/10 Good

"Check in time was 3pm. I arrived around 5:30pm and had to wait for my room. I was told it would be ready in a few minutes, which to me means maybe 10 minutes. After I waited over half an hour, I tracked down a staff member to say that I had somewhere to be and needed access to my room. I was given some attitude and excuses, which really made me think they didn't care how much they were inconveniencing me. After about 45 minutes of waiting for a room that should have been ready three hours earlier, I was finally able to check in and had to rush around to get ready for my event that evening. The attitude of the staff could have made a lot of difference."
