Top Hill City Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Rapid City, SD

8/10 Good

"Clean room, limited breakfast, plenty of parking."

Black Hills Luxury Suites

8/10 Good

"Liked the 2 separate bedrooms. Didn’t read the fine print at the bottom of the instructions sent in the email about where you had to check in. After walking around the property, we ran into someone coming out of one of the buildings who told us where we needed to go. Being tired from traveling all day, I wasn’t in the best of moods to have this run around. Need to have this information at the top of the email."

Travelodge by Wyndham Rapid City/Black Hills

8/10 Good

"The positives: lowest price compared to other local hotels at the time we booked (around 4:30 p.m. same day we stayed there); long counter around the sink in the bathroom - plenty of room for our toiletries, etc; comfortable mattress - not too firm, not too soft; room smelled good and the carpet was clean; bathroom lighting was excellent; friendly, competent person at the check-in (Grover); convenient location to restaurants and Walmart; close to I-90. The negatives: only one bath towel and one wash rag in a room for 2 people (I know I could have called for more but we were just too was too tired); the bedspread was a bit too heavy for me; the refrigerator's freezer was blocked by a huge buildup of ice (room 127)"
