Going back to VRBO next time
Pros:

Kitchenette

Cons:

Definitely needs TLC/update. Chairs are quite gross at table which makes me question the carpet cleanliness. Peeling of bathroom wall in shower area as well as aged tiles which makes mold questionable. Breakfast was disappointing as nothing hot served. Not much for healthier options aside from the hard boiled eggs. No fresh fruit, no hot eggs, no fresh waffle option. I think for the price per night breakfast options should be a bit better.
Pool was pretty cold for little kids.
Bedding consisted of sheets and blanket, I’d prefer the duvet comforter. Again could use some renovating before I’d come back to this motel. Staff were non existent, unfriendly. Similar prices at surrounding motels or even VRBO will be my choice next Rapid City visit.

I don't recommend it
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The breakfast is bad, and they aren't quick to restock when something runs out.

They don't clean the rooms. We stayed for 4 days and they never came to clean it. We asked at the front desk, and they told us they don't clean on weekends.

Pillows and room smelled old, dirty sweaty! Noisy,staff unhelpful and short to respond. not recomme!
Pros:

I liked that the suits were spacious and equipped with a kitchen. The facility was very noisy and the breakfast area was small for the facility being a big one.

Cons:

I did not like the location. It was in more of an industrial neighborhood, although it was quite and a bit isolated.
