Top Watiki Water Park Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Rapid City, SD

"The inn was very clean. Breakfast fine. Staff fine BUT the AC fan in bedroom ceiling was SO loud as it would cycle off on every 20’min or so it was very difficult to sleep . Too bad"

Cambria Hotel Rapid City near Mount Rushmore

10/10 Excellent

Comfort Suites Conference Center Rapid City

8/10 Good

"Conveniently located off the highway for an overnight stay. Clean room. Beds were pretty comfortable. Shower head was not working properly and it dripped. Also had to unplug the fridge due to a noise coming from it. Minor gripes but overall fine for a one night stay."

My Place Hotel - Rapid City, SD

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place for a stopover."

Foothills Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Haven’t stayed there in about 14 years so I thought I’d give it a whirl. First of all, they don’t mention the $200 incidental fee that they put on you once you check in so please have a credit card on hand. Ok that’s my rant, other than that it was quiet, felt safe, and the bed was lower than usual but I slept ok. It’s not so modernized but again it was quiet, safe, and the breakfast was like it was 14 yrs ago - cereal, coffee, bagels, and a jimmy dean sandwich, enough!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Rapid City

10/10 Excellent

"Was an outstanding stay. Room was big, clean and well maintained. Great free breakfast Waterpark awesome also My only complaint is actually getting to the property. It's an absolute disaster to actually get to. The whole interchange and intersection is horrible"

MainStay Suites Rapid City

10/10 Excellent
