Please read: An excellent alternative place for a person needing to stay somewhere for more than a week and doesn't want to stay at a hotel. Comfy beds. Nice furniture. Thoughtful taste in decor. Very affordable. Managers are flexible and communicative.

The only con is that the motel is right on a main road with a lot of foot traffic. Crime and theft is high in Rapid and would recommend anyone to bring in any valuables from your car at night. May not be the best fit for the anxious solo traveler.

All in all. We still recommend this place to anyone that is moving to Rapid or needs a place

Great spot, better than expected. There could be a few minor changes, but it was my first Air B and B experience, and everything was fine. Kitchen was fully functional, clean, and useful, full sized Fridge, microwave, stove and oven. AC is above the Fridge and not in the room where you sleep. Could be problematic if really hot (91 one day during our stay) or really cold. Other than that, no complaints. I would stay here again, and we are actually looking forward to it!

And for those of you who've complained and left less than favorable reviews... Ya'all are way too darn picky! I mean

Visit was smooth and place was clean and nice. Window AC was cranky and remote didn't work mostly. Few insects were spotted. But overall a good place to stay since it has easy access to lots of food joints and the hills.

Easy process, friendly people, and great facilities! I was able to get my laundry done and had everything I needed for a restful stay. I highly recommend this place and if I was here for a while, I would be asking what their monthly rate is! :)

Our key didn't work upon arrival, had to call to get it activated but the guy was very prompt in his response, at least. Only 1 AC unit for both rooms was inefficient as we were using both rooms for sleeping. The sofa bed was AWFUL! Extremely lumpy, springs popping out, the worst! You can definitely improve on that. A shade is needed for the front door window as well, for your very bright LED automatic outdoor lights. We taped up cardboard in an attempt to sleep better, which helped a ton. No hair dryer, had to call for one. ZERO extra supplies i.e. garbage bags, paper towels (had a 1/4 of a roll

Our stay here was fine. The check in process is very easy and you can see that it has been newly renovated, so the inside is nice. The beds are comfortable, it has a nice kitchen area, so that's really cool.

With that said, the apartment had a smell to it. The place is old, and it smells like it. Not only that, but the shower curtain was stainedddddd and it grossed me out so I literally left it outside the shower instead of inside even if it meant the bathroom floor got wet.

I will say, the smell fades if you're in there for a bit, so you'll really only notice it when you first

This place was very clean & all the staff walking around were so friendly.
The bed in the living room was a futon & we had trouble figuring it out & we could not find extra linens for it. We never did figure out how to get it to lay completely flat. We only used it one night, & we just did not call & ask anyone. I’m sure they would have helped if we had called, but it might be helpful to have some instructions posted.
No central air & the one window unit in the room could not keep complete the entire area cold .. part of it was really cold & part of it not so much, just as you would expect

Great central location for everything we wanted to do. Nice spacious room, would definitely stay again. Only complaint is the main road is so loud at times, but not noticable when inside our room.

It was OK. Of you are planning to do a bunch of stuff outside of your room you will be fine. The couch is small and uncomfortable, neither of us slept well in the beds. Within walking distance of several places to eat.

Really nice stay! Beds were comfy and the little kitchen (no oven) was real nice to have especially since it was stocked with silverware and cooking utensils. Some downsides were the cleanliness, it was clean but had stray haors lying around. The last downside was the fact the TV had no streaming apps and was not able to cast to BUT it did have cable so not all bad! Overall I would DEFINITELY stay here again!

The space was perfect for our long term stay in Rapid City as a travel nurse! The location is great, right in the middle of town, making it very easy to get around and see not only the city, but the surrounding area as well. He and the staff were always quick to respond and help during check in and our stay. The rooms are very well done and well equipped with everything you need for a stay. Laundry facilities and dog area are well maintained! Couldn’t be happier with our stay!

Stayed for a week and was extremely pleased. We actually arrived a day early and was able to get the extra night. Concerned about cleanliness I always wipe down surfaces upon arrival...NOT A SINGLE SPOT OF DIRT! My wet white cloth was absolutely spotless and believe me if there was dust I would have found it. Beds were comfy, tv great, hot water, clean towels...perfect. I stayed in suite 111 and would recommend it. One thing...about 6:00 in the morning the automatic sprinklers for the lawn come on so don't sit at the picnic table...lol got wet but woke me up quick. GREAT place.

I'm very torn writing this review. I want to start by saying the owner and the manager are two of the greatest guys I met in Rapid City, I truly mean that! They have taken a very old rough and junk Motel and cleaned it up and turned it into something better. The only problem you have is your still dealing with an old junk Motel that has old junk motel issues. These include poor ventilation the worst sound dampening as well as musty smells and poor arrangements. This place also caters heavily to the AirBNB crowd and we learned for the month we stayed, these people can vary from very clean and
