Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 23 Aug 2011 rated 6 out of 10.

Nice place to stay. Right off the freeway. Good location. Clean rooms.

Positives: Very nicely kept up, very clean rooms.

Negatives: No continental breakfast, front desk staff not very helpful.

If you have kids, this is a great hotel. There are adjoining rooms and an indoor pool with a slide. The restaurants are not great. There are plenty of newer chain hotels that would probably be nicer for the same price.

Positives: The slide at the pool.

Negatives: The quality did not match the price.

I could hear folks in the rooms next to us. I could hear everyone up and down the hall, and outside you could hear the traffic... I expect a little noise, but this was quite worse than what I would expect from Grand Gateway. Pool and slide was excellent. Perkins is okay. Rooms were just average nothing extra. The quilts used on the beds were what I would expect in a cheaper hotel. Next time in the Rapid City area I will look for a different hotel. The pool and slide were the only things that would make me want to return, as our young children enjoyed them.

Positives: Pool and slide.

Negatives: Loud

Hotel staff are polite. They would not let us check in early though. The attached 24 hour Perkins was very nice. The pool and recreation area opens too late (8:00am) and the slide ends in very shallow water next to the edge of the pool, which was dangerous and painful for some of our group.

Positives: Nicely decorated.

Negatives: Pool slide falls into very shallow water near the pools edge. Dangerous and painful.

i thought this was going to be a very fancy hotel with the pics they have. but it wasn't what I thought it was.

Positives: The beds were soft.

Negatives: Thought the lighting was poor and wasn't the same as the pictures.

This hotel was the worst place I've stayed in a while. The building was nice enough, with a decent pool and a nice indoor water slide, but that was where the enchantment ended. The staff was rude, the maids woke us up every morning (once by walking into our room), and were angry (and cussed in the hall outside our door) when we asked them to skip our room or come back later than 9:00am, and there was no free breakfast. When we ordered breakfast from the hotel restaurant, it cost us almost $40 for a waffle (which didn't come with syrup), and an omelet. When we visited the front desk at 11:30pm to ask the location of a vending machine (which is hidden at the far end of the hotel), the attendant was asleep at the desk, then was angry that we woke him up. When we checked out, two of the employees were angrily arguing behind the front desk about something that sounded personal. I will not be staying at this hotel again, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Positives: The indoor water slide was nice.

Negatives: Pushy maids, rude staff, no room-to-room sound barrier, and no free breakfast.

Great Price for a very comfortable night stay.

Positives: The room was very comfortable, and clean.

Negatives: I thought there was going to be a microwave in our room that I needed for my health program, and there wasn't and was told that they couldn't move it to my room.

Negatives: The towels were a little thin.

This hotel was a comfortable and convenient home base for a family with two teens while we adventured in the Rapid City area. Our son liked the pool and my daughter liked the exercise room. The room felt clean and new.

Positives: It felt and smelled clean; convenient location; nice pool area; we slept well.

Negatives: Awkward parking lot entrance/ exit - crowded by parked cars and concrete pylons.

From my experiences in the Black Hills area, one of the best bargains around. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Internet service was very good. Rooms facing west have a nice hilltop view of the Rapid City.

Positives: Quiet hotel with upscale amenities.

Negatives: Security of parking lot questionable.

This was easy to find and very kid friendly. I'm not for sure it was worth $138 dollars a night!

Positives: Nice pool/Kid friendly.

Negatives: Not enough parking.
