Top Historic Rapid City Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"The Waterpark was great. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Good breakfast."

Powder House Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Brought our dog and stayed at one of the cabins and was extremely satisfied with the stay. The location is beautiful with a dense pine forest surrounding the individual cabins. Ate dinner and breakfast at the on-site restaurant and both meals were quite good (and the breakfast voucher was a nice touch). The only issue we faced was that the AC or the room itself had a somewhat musty smell (we couldn’t identify where the smell was coming from but it was unpleasant) but we just kept the windows open and didn’t mind it too much."

The Rushmore Hotel & Suites, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"I liked the older nostalgia of the hotel and I know it is keeping with history but air conditioning would change everything. You can only open your windows a few inches. Big hotel Great view Rooms are small I would definitely recommend this hotel."

Rushmore Express Keystone

8/10 Good

"Location is the best part of this property. Very close to Mt Rushmore and 1880 Train as well as downtown Keystone. It's a run-down property but our room was clean and comfortable enough. The fitness room is limited and the pool area wasn't the cleanest, but there were a lot of people using it. There is free breakfast - the quality is so-so. Being able to see Mt Rushmore from the entrance on the street and walk into Keystone was nice."

ClubHouse Hotel & Suites - Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff was so friendly and helpful. Hotel is relatively new, well designed and spacious. Views are incredible and it’s in a great location. Breakfast offered many options but was a little hit or miss. Pool was great, warm and there was a nice hot tub."
