"Great property and location."

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.

"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."

"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."
