Top Ellsworth Air Force Base Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham at WaTiki Waterpark

8/10 Good

"Loved the easy proximity. Water park crazy busy yon saturday.no seating available.sunday much better. Lazy river way to cold.as was the other water areas for the smaller kids"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"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"

AmericInn by Wyndham Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms and check in and out was a breeze. Breakfast was okay, biscuits and gravy was the only hot option but breakfast area was clean and flow was good."

Comfort Inn & Suites Rapid City near Mt. Rushmore

8/10 Good

"Amazing stay, nice property quiet. The breakfast was really good and there was plenty of food. The staff was very friendly and helpful."

Travelodge by Wyndham Rapid City/Black Hills

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay at this hotel."

Courtyard by Marriott Rapid City

8/10 Good

"I think $9 per night on site parking was a little ridiculous considering they didn’t have a dedicated parking lot (it was a lot that was shared by other hotels/businesses). Unless you were traveling with a bus group, I can’t imagine who is traveling in that area without their own car. Maybe you could reason that they make up for it by offering you a daily free item from their convenience corner/marketplace and then some other daily discounts. They also offered us a couple of dinner vouchers for another policy misunderstanding. Overall I appreicated their facility and their customer service. Considering switching over my Hilton loyalty 🤔"

My Place Hotel - Rapid City, SD

8/10 Good

"Would rather have a morning breakfast included thank breakfast in bed"

Residence Inn Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"It was good stay"

Best Western Plus Rapid City Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here due to decent rates and other reviews. We went to the adjacent water park for a day which was right across the road. The other things to do in the area are fairly accessible from this location. A gas station is nice and close to which was convenient. The property is really clean and nice and the staff was also nice to deal with."
