Room was spacious. Found a sock underneath the couch. Front desk was accommodating. Newer gym equipment. Breakfast could be better and have more variety. Boiled egg was dried out. Coffee not getting refilled. Water park was pretty packed when we got there.

Good hotel in a good location.
Very nice hotel on the edge of Rapid City. It served as the perfect place to stay when visiting the Black Hills, Wind Cave, and Mt. Rushmore. Also relatively close to downtown Rapid City, providing an array of dining options. I would definitely stay here again.

If you dont like kids on the loose 24/7, this isnt for you, since its attached to a water park. Our rooms ac didnt work, had to switch rooms at 11pm, after we had already unpacked. Thankfully, Isaiah helped us with that. And finally, the breakfast was a zoo, again with the kids and their parents, also, i have celiac and there wasnt much options for that. Our room was clean and the staff was great though.

The restaurant is closed for now. Would have preferred to stay put than to get back in the car to find a place to eat dinner. Other than that the room was very nice.

Pictures are a scam. They show a pool that is not theirs. Pool access costs $24 per person. This is false advertising. How do you get away with this?

I booked a “suite” months in advance of a family vacation; 2 adults, 2 children. The room (which was too small for more than one person to walk around in at a time) had a blood stained hideaway bed with a dirty mattress pad that I had to make up myself, for the bargain price of more than $250 a night. Further, nothing in the Expedia listing indicated the water park was not included in the room rate, which is why I chose this hotel to begin with (It’s $25 per person). The breakfast was terrible and supposed to begin at 6:00 am, but both mornings I was there, they were still setting up at 8:00 am. Next time, I’m skipping the hotel and just paying the extra $5 per person to use the water park, which was excellent.

Great!
Very nice hotel! Our one king bed room with a sofa bed was huge! Very clean, super quiet even with lots of little ones running around and the Sturgis rally starting. My 18-year old and I had fun going to the water park, but it was an extra $25 per person, which I had t read prior to booking. Young man at the front desk was very sweet! Would absolutely stay again!

Not the best experience
I booked 3 rooms and upon arrival only one was ready. No worries, they take my number and will call when the other rooms are ready. I’m still waiting for them to call. After more than 2 hours we drive back to check and sure enough the rooms are ready. No explanation for not calling us. The young man checking my rooms for me was soft spoken which is fine except the woman there was so loud and obnoxious I could hear everything she was saying to everyone else - and believe me I didn’t need to know it. She also spent so much time talking that people were waiting in line behind me and she acted like she could care less. Too busy talking to notice I guess. When we got up to our rooms, one of them had a nonfunctional toilet. It took more than 3 hours and multiple phone calls to get it taken care of. This is not okay. The response from one phone call was: well they have 5 hotels to take care of, you’ll just have to wait. That is not what you expect to hear. Nor should it be. Maybe they need to ask for more maintenance people to be hired. If we travel back to that area I am not sure I’d stay there again. Not a pleasant experience at all. But the best part was the airport shuttle. Some of my party had an early flight and needed to be at the airport at 4am. No worries right?? Wrong! They get picked up by the shuttle along with a family of four. When they arrive at the airport they are told it was $22 per person. Yes. I thought shuttles were free? No upfront notice.
