Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were ready and inviting, very clean, and had everything I needed, although some old furniture was noticeable. The service staff went the extra mile to ensure a delightful stay, but I wished they were more attentive to safety precautions. The location was great for tourists, close to downtown attractions, but not so much for business travelers. Dining options were satisfactory but could have been improved, and the facilities were decent.
I had a wonderful experience staying at the Alex Johnson hotel. The rooms were beautifully clean and cute, perfect for our anniversary party, and it felt like we were upgraded to a suite with a modern touch. The staff, especially Alex Johnson, was extremely friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location was superb, close to downtown Rapid City with easy access to unique shops and dining options. However, the expensive parking was a downside, but the proximity to attractions like Mount Rushmore and Bear Country USA was a big plus.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was clean and renewed, although being situated over the bar was a bit noisy at times. The beds were comfortable, the room was pretty clean, the Wi-Fi worked well, and the bathrooms were in good condition. The service was extremely helpful, and the staff was very cordial. The hotel's location in downtown Rapid City was convenient for exploring the area's unique shops and dining options, but being close to bars and restaurants could be a bit loud. The dining experience at Patty's connected to the hotel was enjoyable, offering a full menu with various hot choices. The facilities were adequate, though nothing extraordinary.
