"Great property in Rapid City! All the staff we encountered were incredibly helpful. From check-in to breakfast each morning, they were always available to help with any of our needs. The gym is great, clean and so much great equipment to choose from. Even had a chance to do a load of laundry in the laundromat area. Easy to use and ran a load of laundry while I did a workout. Breakfast has great options. We are always satisfied with our meals. The waterpark is an obvious highlight for our kids. Easy to sign the waiver and get the band and have a great night of fun! Definitely enjoyed our stay and if we ever come back to Rapid City, we will be back at this hotel"
