8/10 Good
"1- The location was convenient. 5-minute walk to the downtown/ city center with many restaurants in the area. We loved the breakfast café, 10-minute walk! It is 30-minute drive to Mount Rushmore and 40- minute Drive to Custer Park. 2- The hotel is new, and the rooms are spacious, clean, and modern. However, I couldn’t sleep well at night! A little noisy. - It felt the walls have little insulation(as most hotels). - It is on a main street. My husband didn’t feel anything. He slept soundly. In general, it is very good compared to other hotels in Rapid City."
