Top Dinosaur Park Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Rapid City / Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"So surprised, in a good way, by this hotel. Great location, near good restaurants and shops. Free indoor parking. Nice lobby and bar. Large breakfast room and buffet. Our room was huge, two queens plus a full size sitting area. Bathrooms are new and had plenty of towels. I would stay here again."

Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Sorry Rapid City… but this hotel was much better than I expected in Rapid City. Rooftop bar was nice, main floor pub was great, and the rooms were super clean. Two thumbs up!!"

GrandStay Residential Suites - Rapid City

8/10 Good

"Nice property but had a couple of small issues. The BAD: The refrigerator was against a wall and the door swung open the wrong way so it was a constant battle to get something out of the fridge unless you were tight against the wall. Our room was short on cooking utensils like pans for cooking eggs and hamburgers plus we didn't see any rubber (scraping) spatulas or flipping spatulas. Now the GOOD: The location is a HUGE advantage (being that its only half a mile off of the interstate but not so close that you have traffic preventing you from leaving the hotel. Good adequate space in the room and the parking lot. They do have a very good breakfast spread as long as you get there for breakfast between 6:00 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. If you get to the breakfast area after 9:15 (like I did a couple of times), you might not get as much because they may not refill some of the stuff for the sleepy-heads. Bed was soft and comfortable. The shower head has immense pressure and really gets you clean and feeling refreshed. Lots of great amenities. They have very knowledgeable and kind staff that likes to go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable."

Historic District, Downtown, STE 2

10/10 Excellent

"Joe is a great communicator and his listing is accurate. It’s awesome to have a place that is walking distance to key non-chain/community establishments for breakfast, lunch and dinner after a long day of traveling and exploring. We hope to return in the future."

Walk to Dtwn: Historic Gem w/ Deck in Rapid City

8/10 Good

"Our group of six had a wonderful stay and found the property very spacious, with plenty of room and bathrooms to comfortably accommodate everyone. The Pros: The house is very roomy and features very comfortable beds, an abundance of fresh towels, and a fully stocked kitchen with every item you could need. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is centrally located to many local attractions. The Cons: The only minor downsides were related to temperature and bathroom showers. The upstairs bedrooms stayed a bit warm, and lowering the AC made the downstairs very cold while the upstairs remained warm. Additionally, only two of the three bathrooms have showers. The third features a beautiful, historic clawfoot tub; while it looks pretty, it is a bit impractical for daily use as there is no shelf space to keep your shampoo and soaps handy."
