Cambria Hotel Rapid City near Mount Rushmore

Cambria Hotel Rapid City near Mount Rushmore

8/10 Good
"This property was fine. It was under construction when I was there, but at no point did that ever interfere with my sleep or anything. The airport shuttle was great, especially considering the airport is like 20 minutes from the hotel. The only thing I'll mention for anyone from the hotel who reads these... You might want to mention to your morning shuttle driver, that maybe spending the whole 20 minute drive to airport talking about politics and their personal viewpoints on political subjects/how much they hate the other side of the aisle, isn't likely what most people riding to the airport at 7:00am want to hear about for the whole drive. Especially when it was sparked by a simple comment from me about how the weather for me at home hadn't been as cool yet as it was in Rapid City. I'm still trying to figure out how that comment led to 20 minutes of political commentary. Otherwise I'd still stay here again. It was fine for an overnight stop."
