Top Ellsworth Air Force Base Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Rapid City, SD

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was very welcoming. Easy n fast check in. The breakfast was on point. Rooms was very quiet and comfortable. Also clean and fresh smelling. Pool and hot tub were very relaxing. Again the evening n night was very quiet. We had a restful night with no problems."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Rapid City

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice. The sliding bathroom door was a horrible pain to work and difficult to close especially for my wife and kids. The breakfast was pretty good but without a doubt the water park is the biggest attraction."

Comfort Suites Conference Center Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Convenient location. Very quiet."

La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham at WaTiki Waterpark

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay here. Travelled with 3 kids. They had a blast. The breakfast was the same every day and just okay, front desk staff varied in friendliness. You can also request a room cleaning or changes but it doesn’t always happen. This is not a quiet hotel. You can hear walking/running through floors and walls. It didn’t bother us because of kids but for some, it may. Overall, we were pleased with our stay."

AmericInn by Wyndham Rapid City

8/10 Good

"Good location, comfy beds. Waterside was fun, pool was pretty good. Continental breakfast was okay, some good options. We got a suite for a family of 5, it was spacious but a weird layout."

Sleep Inn & Suites Rapid City

8/10 Good

"The staff were friendly. Accommodations were ok Carpet in room was not vacuumed before arrival. We had to ask to have room cleaned. Once asked it was cleaned well. Towels were fresh and clean. Laundry facilities were awful. One laundry room was out of order for the 6 days we spent. Other laundry facility was dirty. Breakfast was good but scarce. They do not replenish yogurt and items well."

Best Western Plus Rapid City Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast and very clean rooms!"

Beautiful home with large yard and hot tub. Great for families!

8/10 Good

"The house is nice and roomy for guests. There were some problems with showers working due to calcification build up that was quickly resolved with a phone call. Tub showers only, no flat entry. We left several dishes and goods to help out the next guests as there were very little available to furnish advertised size of guests. Thin blankets available; may need to bring some if you have older guests or those that get cold easily. There is a beautiful hot tub (we did not use as time did not allow). A small area for a bonfire is available in the back yard and was very nice. There were several items recommended to improve upon sent to the managment company but nothing that would deter a recommendation for the house. We did have some older family members staying with us at the house that had some difficulty with the stairs. The house is a split level and does have stairs going up and down (no flat entry). The back yard is also accessible with an older wooden staircase (Or you could go around the house into the back yard - not wheelchair accessible or friendly!). It is a bit overpriced but was a nice place to stay. The neighborhood is quiet and just outside Ellsworth AFB. Excellent location to visit family stationed at the base as long as you do not need wheelchair access and able to handle stairs."
