This hotel is okay for a short stay in Rapids City. Rooms are very tiny, and bathrooms are even smaller. Front desk was not friendly upon arrival. Bathroom lights did not work upon arrival and no effort to fix or move to another room was given. The next day someone did come to look at it and all they had to do was flip a breaker in the hallway. That should have been done upon arrival. Restaurant was very slow to serve food. Roof top bar was very nice! Interesting memorabilia around the hotel.

This room was not as pictured when we booked it. The bathroom was pictured with a sink and counter, ours had tiny pedestal with no place for anything. The bathroom was 3 X 5!!! Our reservation came with free breakfast which we did not receive (they didn't even have breakfast except for starbucks). Bathroom door had caked on dust. Room was so tiny, you could barely walk between bed and bureau. It was NOT the room requested based on pics

Carpet in room was worn and very dirty, when told front desk they agreed and said room needed renovation, yet we paid $383 per night just before tourist season ( 2 bedrooms in single room). Ate at restaurant on hotel rooftop, we were seated and waited for approx. 20 minutes, no wait staff came over, had to go down stairs to get someone to take our order. Food was average to good, but at $62 for a fillet and $10 for a bagette, it should have been much better. Lobby was very historic and inviting, but our stay there was definately not worth the price.
