10/10 Excellent

"Great location, quiet neighborhood with easy access to Rapid City, Blackhills, Mt. Rushmore, etc.Owner's communication is brilliant and hospitality is above and beyond."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to stay. Even wslked the walking trail. Perkins restaurant right next door."

MainStay Suites Rapid City

8/10 Good

"K"

AmericInn by Wyndham Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first time using AmericInn. I was impressed by the how clean the common areas were and the nicely updated room. Overall, I'll certainly look for an AmericInn option when I travel. The price was good and the stay was nice."

My Place Hotel - Rapid City, SD

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the experience of having a room I could feel at home in,the amenities were really nice,,and I definitely encourage others to stay there,staff was helpful and courteous"

Residence Inn Rapid City

8/10 Good

"Cleanliness was ok. The shower was next level and poorly designed, leading to water everywhere lol! The water park was clean and great for allowing our teen to chill after lots of hiking, as we were visiting all the national parks. Great location!"

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."
