Rustic facilities; pretty location
Very dated facility. Like staying in your relative's guestroom. Older furniture; poor lighting in the room. But room opened to the lake, very pretty setting. Next to a very nice lake park.
the a/c in the unit was too loud measuring 63 dB per my iphone dB meter. the carpet’s age made the apartment smell strange though it has been properly cleaned. i would have expected two bathrooms for a 365 dollar per day unit.
Our stay at Canyon Lake Resort fulfilled its objective as a quiet, clean, safe place to stay while we visited the Rapid City-area attractions. The motel lacked amenities you might find at a hotel, particularly regarding walkable restaurants or coffee shops, but those were only a drive away.
The lake setting was beautiful. It was an older property, but updates were done nicely and was clean and comfortable. The location for access to the Black Hills points of interest was great.
Decent property by the Lake. Very spacious. Two miles from food and shopping. Close to airport. If you want to see Badlands, wind cave and Rushmore in the same trip
Had a slight problem when we got there but management took care of it instantly and we ended up having a great weekend. The ducks, the geese, the herons and the woodpeckers really add to the aesthetics of the lake property. Will be back definitely, management was incredibly friendly and helpful. Awesome little hidden gem of Rapid City.
It's not the Waldorf Astoria but that wasn't the intent. If you're looking for a clean friendly stay in a beautifully walkable setting this is it.
Apart from the somewhat dated accomodations (hey, it was a tad rustic but it evoked pleasant feelings of nostalgia for this 60-something boomer) I couldn't have asked for a quiter room nestled on the shore of a beautiful lake (well, reservoir) and park.
Plus we had the added benefit of being there outside of the tourist season. I'll be back.
The view is beautiful but the room was very dated. I won't return to this property again. No amenities, old building (look and feel). High step into the room without a hand rail and one key.
