Top Ellsworth Air Force Base Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"The room was large and very nice. The breakfast is average. Too many people due to the water park so hard to keep up with food demand. Eggs and bacon seemed sub par."

Cambria Hotel Rapid City near Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and great breakfast"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would 10/10 stay there again. Biggest complaints are the waffles stuck to the waffle iron for breakfast but there were lots of other options to eat if you didn’t want a waffle and we had a suite and I would’ve like another mirror in the room. Overall great place to stay!!! Loved the water park too!"

MainStay Suites Rapid City

"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."
