Top Hill City Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Rapid City

8/10 Good

"We had stayed here before. It's clean, close to our destination."

Comfort Inn & Suites Near Mt. Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this hotel is wonderful… except the breakfast. The hotel is comfortable, the beds are luxurious, the rooms are so clean, and the whole property looks brand new! That always means a lot to me! The staff is super helpful and friendly. We lost our key fob and they found it and sent it to us in the mail. like I said the only thing that isn’t amazing about this hotel is the breakfast. For people who like unprocessed healthy food, there isn’t many options. Instant oatmeal, fake eggs, barely multigrain bread, and the coffee is unfortunately not good. However, we may do, by getting some fruit at the local store very close by and had hot tea instead of coffee with teabags that I brought. There are also great breakfast options in town, so don’t let that hold you back from staying at this amazing hotel!"
