Absolutely love this hotel. It is beautiful and very neat all the history behind it. Everyone from FDR to Ozzy Osbourne has stayed here on their wall of notable guests.

Room service is nice and so is the location.

During a nightmare travel day our plane had to emergency land in Rapid City and our plans kept changing, and the staff at the hotel could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Highly appreciated the service and care I was shown by multiple staff members.

I just walked in but didn't stay overnight. Beautiful historic building.

Great place to stay, even better central location and easy to find from all around town due to its tall red sign. The onsite restaurant on the top floor and the Irish pub on the first floor are super cool too!

Lovely art deco style hotel with modern amenities and a couple nice bars in the same building (one at the lobby level and another at the very top of the building). Definitely a prime location to be staying in if you wanna walk to any of the nearby shops, restaurants, and bars as well.
John Thompson
Great hotel and great location. Very walkable city with excellent bars and restaurants nearby. As in previous reviews the valet parking could take up to 30 min to get your car, not a big deal for us, just plan ahead. You could also self park, parking garage is 1.5 blocks away. We will be back.
