Rapid City Hotels with Bars

We use Marriott hotels whenever possible while traveling. The Fairfield Inn & Suites in Rapid City is a great place to stop for the night. We had a room with a king bed and two TV’s, a sofa sleeper and desk area. The room had a microwave, small refrigerator and coffee maker. The bathroom was large and sparkling clean. We always appreciate the rubber bathmats when provided. The pillows in all the Marriott hotels we have stayed in recently desperately need to be replaced. A good breakfast with hot and cold items is provided from 6:30-9 am each morning. Check-in was quick and easy and the people at the desk were very friendly and helpful. There is a large seating area in front of the hotel with a fire pit. The parking lot is large and handicapped spots are right up front. There are lots of restaurants and fast-food places nearby. The water was too soft, and we felt slimy after showering or washing our hands like we couldn’t get the soap off. We did have one major problem. We were on the third floor and the wind that night was howling around the building and as it turned out, we discovered that the window in our room was broken and wouldn’t close properly, so the noise was intensified, and we didn’t get much sleep if any that night. After driving all day and seeing lots of different sites, we had hoped for a good night’s sleep. Ask for a lower floor room.

Daily Mandatory Charge includes: Destination Marketing Fee, paid to Destination Rapid City.Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City, Curio Collection by Hilton combines an ideal location and a historic setting for a unique guest experience. The hotel has played host over the years to presidents and celebrities. Built in 1927, this quaint hotel combines the ambiance of the late 1920s with Native American art. When you enter the lobby and browse through the hotel, you’ll notice the ‘four sacred directions’ symbols, a tribute to the area’s Native American culture and beliefs. Also evident are a chandelier made to reflect a teepee, and hand-painted Sioux designs.Within walking distance are downtown Rapid City and Main Street Square with shops, restaurants, museums, and family activities. The historic Elks Theatre is next door. Mount Rushmore is a 25-minute drive away.Once you’ve spent time in the lobby learning about the history of the hotel, continue to your guest room to find historic charm combined with modern amenities. Rooms offer complimentary WiFi, 42-inch flat-screen TVs and coffee makers. Upgrade to a suite for more space, a microwave and fridge. All rooms include members-only access to Vertex Sky Bar.In the lobby, feed your sweet tooth with a truffle from Chubby Chipmunk Chocolates, and your coffee craving at Starbucks.

Host a business or social event for up to 200 attendees in our elegant setting.

TL:DR: Don't bother with the ”Presidential” level. BW & I stayed here for two nights while touring around the Black Hills. While pleasant enough, we would not return. To be clear, this review is of the ”Presidential” (”upscale” extra-charge) area of the hotel. I booked this, thinking it would be something special for part of a second (54th?) honeymoon. In some ways, it was perfectly acceptable. Quiet, top-floor room accessible only by key card. Mural graphics of local attractions as wallpaper. Designer chair and ottoman. A really good bed. So, not terrible. But it fell WAY short of extraordinary accommodation for extraordinary price. For example, despite being an ”exclusive” area of the hotel, there was no routinely-expected ”Presidential” lounge available to the guests who pony up. Towels were exchanged in the bath, but the bed was intentionally not made. This so-called limited service was stressed, along with the repeated ”Breakfast is for PURCHASE!” admonishment at check-in. In the bath, the provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were in cheap dispensers, hard to use, and the body wash simply refused to come out. The freezer in the in-room refrigerator was so encrusted with ice that we couldn't get an ice cream bar into it. The in-room coffee maker dispensed the cheapest ”something” that was mostly undrinkable. Power outlets were inadequate to charging today's routinely carried electronics. The ”desk” (a long, narrow bar along one wall) was plainly designed for form over function. Only two dresser drawers; we had to keep most of our clothes in our luggage. And only two small (think old European hotel) elevators to serve nine floors of a tour bus hotel. Imagine the crush in the morning when everyone is trying to get downstairs to the bus. Net, not terrible. But not worth a return trip unless you are on an inexpensive cattle car tour of the Black HIlls in one of the cheaper lower floor rooms.

Dog friendly, has a bar inside the hotel, and a Perkins right next door for food.

Four stars for the room and the hotel in general. We had the King plus Sofa Sleeper room. It was huge - separated into two rooms, with one set up as a living room. The bed was soft and firm at the same time with a selection of pillows. Keurig station with coffee and tea. Mini fridge and a microwave. I wish we had more time here so that we could really take advantage of the space. Unfortunately, I chose this hotel based on the availability of the airport shuttle. Delta changed from morning to nighttime arrivals so we left a day early and added a night at this hotel so we could get a shuttle ride upon arrival and back the next day to pick up our rental car. Holiday Inn fell short as far as providing shuttle service, but the biggest problem was the conflicting information I got. I generously did not let this affect my four star rating for the hotel, despite the stress this caused me. The airlines changed the flight schedule to a later arrival - 10:50 pm. Seeing that the shuttle hours are posted as ending at 11pm, I contacted the hotel to ask if they were accommodating this new flight time. This was to be the new “normal” arrival time for this Delta flight. I called several times; I got a different answer each time. I emailed; I was told that they had several guests on that flight and could pick us up, no problem. The day of the flight we were notified of another change…arriving an hour later. I called to ask if could still get a ride at that time and was told, “Just call when you arrive.” I emailed about the updated arrival time and received the reply, “Noted.” I called upon arrival and the front desk person said we cannot be picked up as the shuttle stops at 11pm. Now it is late, I’m with a tired kid, there are no taxis or car hire services, and the hotel cannot provide transportation. Fortunately Rapid Shuttle stays open in the airport until the last flight has arrived and people have been serviced. So I shelled out the money to pay for a shuttle. While I was thrilled to have a ride, I would’ve just stayed at a cheaper hotel without shuttle service if I had know how this was going to play out. So no matter what they tell you, you will not get a ride after 11pm, even if your flight or your baggage is late. We set up a shuttle return the following morning to rent a car from the airport and had some hiccups on that end as well. The shuttle departs once an hour on the half hour (7:30, 8:30, etc). Although we were “scheduled” for 10:30, the shuttle didn’t come until 10:45. Not a big deal since we weren’t catching a flight, but you should be aware this is not a strict schedule.

The pillows are the fluffiest I've ever seen. Beds are very comfortable, and the staff are amazingly awesome and courteous. Check out was simple and easy . Oh and not to forget what an great breakfast with lots to choose from.woukd definitely stay again.

Pleasant stay

I chose this hotel on the way to the US President Mountain. The sanitary conditions are better. There are also more choices for breakfast food. The service staff is warm and Wi-Fi is average.

As far as American Box Hotels are concerned (I'm not a big fan of their lack of character), this is as good as they get. The rooms are large, the beds are comfortable, and the overall quality of the stay is 1st rate. Price was in line with what the rest of the market was doing.
