Top Ellsworth Air Force Base Hotel Reviews

Cambria Hotel Rapid City near Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"I definitely would recommend this place! Very nice, clean, and spacious. We got the king suite and it was amazing. Only negative thing was the front desk worker. She did not greet us and I kept having to repeat everything I said. When she gave us our room key she didn’t even bother to let us know where we needed to go. I politely asked and then she told us. We went to the store after midnight and the new front desk worker was so much nicer and polite to us."

"Great property in Rapid City! All the staff we encountered were incredibly helpful. From check-in to breakfast each morning, they were always available to help with any of our needs. The gym is great, clean and so much great equipment to choose from. Even had a chance to do a load of laundry in the laundromat area. Easy to use and ran a load of laundry while I did a workout. Breakfast has great options. We are always satisfied with our meals. The waterpark is an obvious highlight for our kids. Easy to sign the waiver and get the band and have a great night of fun! Definitely enjoyed our stay and if we ever come back to Rapid City, we will be back at this hotel"
