Top Storybook Island Hotel Reviews

Elevation Inn & Suites, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Of two elevators, one was out of order the night we arrived. The next morning, the second elevator was out of order which required us to remove our belongings via the stairs. This was especially difficult for my husband, who was recovering from knee surgery. Otherwise, we would recommend."

Quiet cul-de-sac on 18-hole golf course. Good neighbors.

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great for the things we wanted to see, Crazy Horse, Mt Rushmore, Badlands, Custer Park and Devil's Tower. I would definitely rent this property again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Rapid City."

Cozy & Quiet: Apartment located in a quiet neighborhood in Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was very easy, door pad is personalized to you which makes you feel safer. Parking was convenient. Well stocked kitchen with dishes and pots and pans. Was happy to have coffee there after a long trip with some spices and cooking Oil. Smaller apartment fridge but works fine. Bed very comfy..nice shower.My husband likes a TV in the bedroom which it doesn't have but I was OK with that. No dresser in bedroom but had hangers in closet to hang some clothes.A roll away bed in closet if there is more than 2 people staying, nice selection of games, books for entertainment. We knew there were stairs to go up when we rented, it was harder to bring up luggage and groceries for us as we are older but other than that it was clean and a nice safe place to stay and would we would recommend for stay."

Wonderful 2-bedroom downstairs apartment in quiet Rapid City neighborhood

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Great location, just outside of the main hustle but close enough to everything. Enjoyed having a full kitchen and was suppled well. There was more space then what the pictures portrayed.Pam and Ron"

The Rushmore Hotel & Suites, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"The train went by right after we went to bed and blew its horn! This was before 10:00 pm We were not warned about the train schedule and felt a little blindsighted by this! Also felt that the small restaurant was overcrowded by the tour group. We couldn’t get a table or a seat at the bar so had to use a sitting area and had to order finger foods that didn’t require silverware. The bar and eating area was understaffed even though the two servers were amazing !!!! We did receive the best of care from the hard working servers👏👏👏"

Inviting Rapid City Duplex < 2 Mi to Downtown!

8/10 Good

"As expected. Only downside, the ac window units were noisy and the ceiling fans remotes were mostly unresponsive, perhaps they need new batteries?"

3 Bed 2 Bath, Golf Course and Fully Fenced Yard!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Easy check in and check out!"

Charming 3-bedroom Mid-Century

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay and took in all the sights we could. The sliding glass doors don’t lock very well and it gets really hot in the day without curtains or blinds and people up the hill can see right down into the dining and living room area. But it wasn’t a deal breaker for us since we were gone most of the day and in the evening we watched a little tv in the basement. But this place was pretty centrally located for everything we wanted to do. Hosts were quick to respond to any questions."
