A conveniently located hotel to downtown and the main street that takes you to Bear Country and Mt. Rushmore. The outside looks great and it is located in a quiet residential area across from the local high school. We were there the last week of July, 2009. The staff at the front desk was pretty clueless, especially the younger people. ...
Hotel is isolated from shopping and dinning. Our non-smoking "Presidential Suite" on the 4th floor stunk of smoke... Front desk had lost our reservation for a roll-away bed. Pool had a "floater" suspended about a foot from the surface... Ya know... the type you might see if you watched the movie "Caddie Shack"...GROSS!! All in all not the first place I would choose if returning to Rapid City.
We stayed here for one night and were blown away. Our room was excellent, extremely comfortable bed and quite roomy. The pool was nice and warm and the staff was very polite. The continental breakfast was by far the best we've seen. The price of our room was well worth the cost, which we were hesitant to book, because it was one of the more ...

The exterior and interior decor are beautiful and welcoming! The lobby, restrooms, halls, and rooms were very clean. Staff was very friendly, helpful, courteous. The location is excellent, quiet and quaint, yet very close and easy access to interstate highway, grocery store, shopping, and walking distance to civic center. Away from congested ...
We were very pleased to stay at this hotel. It was very comfortable, clean, and affordable. The pool was a little small but still nice. The staff was very nice. They even called our room after getting settled in to make sure everything was ok. I would definitely stay again!!!
Very comfortable king bed. Free breakfast was great, and food was pretty good. Amenities in room - fold out couch, fridge, microwave, coffee-maker, desk, wi-fi, cable, and plenty of room to spread out made my week long stay comfortable. Friendly staff, housekeepers alright, but really clean rooms and hotel areas, including luxurious looking pool/2 ...

Clean, affordable and excellent staff! The 6pm reception was a real plus. The staff saw we were enjoying their hospitality, made reservations for us at a nearby restaurant-Corn Exchange-also excellent- and had a cab waiting to pick us up in time to drop us off for our meal. Only minus was the hard to get to service road.

when finding a hotel for July 4 it can be pretty hard. But we found the howard johnson and it was exellent. The service was great, the pool is a great place for your kids to hang out when the rest of the family wants to take an afternoon nap, and the rooms stayed quiet. Overall this is one f the best hotels ive ever been to.

This was a modern and clean hotel located in a safe and quiet area of town. It is a ways away from the main shopping/dining area of town, which wasn't really a problem. I appreciated the high speed wireless in my room, and the pool was fairly large, with 2 hot tubs.
This hotel is close to the really cute and clean downtown area of Rapid City. Restaurants and stores are very close. 20 min to Mt. Rushmore, even less to Bear Country. The staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel still looks brand new and was very clean. The indoor pool area was huge and the pool was heated. Also there were 2 Jacuzzis. There ...
