5 Stars across the board! From the time we showed up, till we checked out, we enjoyed our entire stay at the hotel! It was a special night for us, our waitress, Jamie at The Juniper made sure to accommodate our special requests as well and gave us the best seat in the house <3 very romantic! The bartenders, Benji & the young lady with glasses were absolutely fun to talk too and Benji named a drink after me! It was definitely a great place to get engaged at! We will be returning soon for the paranormal experience!! Ty to all the staff ❤️

We had an awesome short stay! Big double rooms for our 4 kids, centrally located, and excellent staff. Mason at the front desk went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of (including helping replace a spilled coffee). Definitely will come again!

Don’t stay anywhere else unless you have to.Night shift responds to *even* text messages within mere moments… Had a noise complaint. Daniel was on it within two minutes.Aside from that awesome response the rooms are a 10/10. The hotel is every bit as elegant as I recall since coming here as a kid. Now with children of my own, the wife and I both appreciate the lounges and ambience even more than I would have expected.

Dan, the gentleman at the front counter was very helpful.Baggage handlers will gracefully assist you all the way up (I have too many guitars I know)If it's too cold to go walking at dawn you rest assured your breakfast will be the best with your Hound at your side.Thank you for your patience Cynthia,All of you are bright shining stars

The atmosphere was fantastic. A lot of history behind the hotel. I slept lake a baby. The top floor restaurant was mouth watering to the palet. The location was downtown but parking a bit hectic all in all i give 5 stars

Updated 11/9/2024. A cool building. Nice views of downtown Rapid City. It is a nice hotel. It was a pretty solid value for the money. I keep booking this place because it is one of the nicest hotels in the area. I've also had fantastic service. Which makes coming back here really nice. This particular stay. I ended up with a freshly updated room. The rooms are not big. But for a historic building like this that can be expected. But I find myself coming back again and again because I really like this spot. Conveniently located in downtown Rapid City, you can walk pretty much anywhere you need to. This is a good hotel.

Holy Moly this is a BEAUTIFUL historic downtown hotel with the prettiest views in the city! Chris was accommodating and made the best drinks! The fire pits, service and quality of the hospitality is what makes people come back time and time again! Thank you for everything, and I look forward to keeping on coming back every time I'm in Rapid City.

Sean McStravick

Definitely worth a stay! Comfortable clean rooms, the rooftop bar is great, and Cynthia at the front desk was both extremely helpful AND charming. Definitely want to stay here again!

Rooftop bar was very cool!A fire feature kept us warm when the cool breeze blew.Drinks were tasty, and ½ price for members...

If you’re coming to Rapid City, there is no other place to give you the best all-around, excellent experience! From the valet to the front desk and every restaurant, you will be pampered on your stay!

It is an interesting place with a lot of old history and right in the center of the city.
