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.

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...

There's a lot of good things to say about the hotel and a few things that aren't so great. Overall the hotel itself has a lot of charm.

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.

Right downtown in the historic district of Rapid City. The hotel is old, but the rooms are upgraded and the staff is delightful. The view from the rooftop bar is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Great stay and hotel!! Thanks to Mason at the front desk for excellent hospitality and service!! The breakfast at the Irish pub, Paddy O’Neils, was excellent too!! Loved our experience staying in the Presidential suite!!

The Hotel Alex Johnson is definitely a downtown landmark in Rapid City. The staff is nice and the amenities (shop, bar, Starbucks, etc) are an added bonus.

I loved staying here. The view from the rooftop is amazing, the rooms are clean and nice, and the atmosphere of the hotel in general is lovely. The staff is very helpful and professional as well.
