The front desk was friendly/ helpful & guided us to a great supper restaurant and bre
Pros:

Not Applicable. It’s the center of a small but fun, smart, western city. Should be publicised much more as it’s unique , interesting and very hospitable.

Cons:

The desk could have directed us to more things that could have been ‘ happening’ in town.

Comfortable, safe, excellent staff, great location!
Pros:

Overall, we really liked the hotel. Its location to the Rapid City airport was excellent. They were centrally located for everything in the Rapid City area. The room was very comfortable as well as the staff being very nice and helpful (great restaurant suggestions). Parking on the street was usually easily available near the hotel and cheap (nights and weekends free). The hotel was easy driving distance to the Badlands and Devil's Tower. The early opening for Starbucks attached to hotel was awesome for East Coast visitors like us waking up at 5 AM for a needed caffeine infusion. I can't think of one bad thing to say about this Hotel or Rapid City. Indeed, this hotel gave us the opportunity to see what a hidden gem Rapid City is (Dhal Art gallery, The Spoon restaurant, etc...). Rooftop bar was really pretty and nice at night to see the city. The history of the hotel was also great and on the walls to view. The little shop also had much needed items (e.g., sunscreen) that we forgot to bring.

Cons:

Nothing. All was great!

I enjoyed being there with my family
Pros:

I liked the staff. The bed was comfortable. They put my husband and I in a room with the smallest bathroom. The toilet was so low we had a hard time getting up. It was supposed to be a handicap room, but with that bathroom, no way!

Cons:

Everyone was so nice. Everything was clean. They have a great little shop stocked with plenty of goodies and drinks
