The experience is great. It is a historic hotel,and it is very beautiful and stylish. It located in the downtown Rapid City,so it is close to bars and galleries. In general,the service is good. The front desk staff and valet parking staff are friendly and helpful. I went to the rooftop bar,the food and service are both very good. I also went to the paddy oneill‘s bar,but it is very disappointing. The food is ok but the service is terrible. The only complaint is the room condition. It is not maintained very well. The crack between the door and the floor is so big,and I can see the light from outside. I stayed in several other historic hotels that are operated by Omni or Marriott. Their room conditions are much better than this hotel.

Nice to walk to restaurants downtown. While the hotel is historically older, the carpet in our room was nasty dirty and the bathroom was grungy. Parking is a hassle unless you want to pay the valet $30 a night. You can park on the street in the evening but have to move car by 7:00 am in order to not get a ticket. The parking garage is rather far from hotel entrance and also is costly per night.

Needs updating and attention to little things
I really hate to give a historic hotel anything less than 5 stars, but they need more attention to the smaller things. The sidewalk bar seating area should be removed. It makes a fine hotel look bad and gives it a poor first impression. We had a suite and it was very nice. A single room, like they are in all older hotels, will be rather cramped. Our sitting room tv was not “set up” and the remote needed batteries. It takes time to remedy such issues, and did. You can park yourself street side and save on parking and valet. The hotel could use a renovation.
