I was quite disappointed to get a smoking room - and when we asked to change rooms were told there were none available because we'd made our accomodations online and that was 'locked in'. Bullshit. We'll never stay in a La Quinta again. Thank you very much.
Positives: great location - right off the interstate...close to shopping
Negatives: i'm tired of some hotel clerks treating priceline customers as 'second class' citizens.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 03 Oct 2010 rated 4 out of 10.
The room was not clean. Cobwebs and dust everywhere. The pool hours are too short - we were unable to use the pool, and that was the main reason we selected this hotel.
Positives: Convenient to freeway and attractions.
Negatives: Hotel was dirty. Pool hours too short and restrictive.

This Hotel was great for a family. The attached water park was great. It should be noted that it is not free. It costs $15 per person or $9 after 7. We purchased the $9 wristbands and the kids used the park for 2 hours that eve and 2 more the next morning. It was well worth it. The hotel has a decent breakfast; waffles, cereal, oatmeal, juices, milk and bakery items. Quite sufficient. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and bathrooms clean and in good shape. I would stay here again with my family.
Positives: Free breakfast and family fun in the attached pool.
Negatives: There was average wear and tear that needed to be addressed in order to keep it new looking.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 04 Jul 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

Positives: They had free internet PC and coffee in the lobby.
Negatives: Laundry room needs a chair.

The hotel was fine. There wonderful pool was a big scam they charge you ten dollars a person to use there pool that states no where in the hotel brochure no where in the hotel does it state you have to pay extra to use the pool. We would not have stayed at this hotel if we knew this ahead.
<BR/>
Positives: It was in a good location clean and friendly.
Negatives: Had to pay $ 30 dollars if we wanted to use the pool very disappointed.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 08 Mar 2010 rated 8 out of 10.
This hotel is very nice, but there are a lot of little things that they do wrong. For the price it is much better than expected, but if they fixed the little things they could easily charge me double and I would still consider it a good value.
Positives: Clean and
Negatives: A lot of little things could be improved.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 17 Sep 2009 rated 5 out of 10.
It is a place to stay, but not to relax in the room too long. Thin walls and thin towels. Ran out of newspapers before 9am.
Positives: Free wi-fi.
Negatives: Ran out of newspapers before 9AM. Towels very thin.

We had a problem with a barking German shepherd for over two hours while we were trying to sleep. Neighboring rooms made repeated calls to the front desk, my husband went down to the front desk after two hours. Everyone was told the problem would be solved, but it was not. There was no redress. Many people reported the problem again the next morning and we received an apology, nothing else. We've stayed in other hotels that had problems with rowdy guests, etc. and were given a half price room in the future. We will never stay at this hotel again. The demeanor of the staff was haughty. Our colleague was in the next room and asked for a room in another part of the hotel and was turned down because he had.
Positives: If you had children, the water park.
Negatives: Inability to solve a major problem.

I actually like the condition and location of this hotel. If I was traveling with a pet and my children and didn't have to get up early to catch a flight it might be OK. I have stayed here twice and both times we have been next to barking dogs, screaming children and slamming doors. I am traveling with my nine year old and I understand yelling children, but mine have never behaved like this. It seems that this is expected as there is a water park attached to this hotel. If you are traveling for business or want to get some peaceful sleep, I would not recommend.
Positives: It's new condition and it's on the way to the airport.
Negatives: Terribly noisy. Lots of barking dogs.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 12 Oct 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Well satisfied.
Positives: Nice, comfortable, liked ref and microwave in room.
Negatives: Would like breakfast earlier.

This hotel is on the outskirts of Rapid City, and therefore is not easily accessible to the downtown area. An all day cafe or diner next to the hotel would have been nice. Otherwise it was a nice place to stay for one night, the room was clean and spacious, and the bathroom was clean and spacious as well.
Positives: The bed and shower were clean.
Negatives: No cafe and continental breakfast wasn't long enough.
