Friendly staff, all-hours food and a giant waterslide
Half a mile from Rushmore Mall, the Grand Gateway Hotel lures guests with its elaborate indoor pool area and all-hours dining. Rooms feature thoughtful details like allergy-free pillows and windows that open and close. Four national parks and monuments lie within a 90-minute drive -- Badlands, Wind Cave, Mount Rushmore and Jewel Cave -- and the Black Hills National Forest begins less than 10 miles to the west.Highlights
- Convenient to major area attractions like Mount Rushmore National Memorial and Custer State Park
- Indoor pool area includes a hot tub, arcade, pool tables and 130-foot waterslide
- On-site Perkins Family Restaurant and Bakery serves a full menu and is open at all hours
Location
Grand Gateway Hotel sits just off Interstate 90, a few miles from downtown and a half mile from Rushmore Mall. Mount Rushmore is about a 40-minute drive from here, and the hotel is also convenient to the other major attractions of the region.Rooms
Starting at 365 square feet, the rooms at Grand Gateway Hotel deliver standard amenities (free Wi-Fi, work desks, laptop-accommodating safes) with a touch of elegance (handsome wood headboards, one-off table lamps). The superior and deluxe rooms have sitting areas, and suites come with separate dining and living space.Dining
The on-site restaurant, Perkins Family Restaurant and Bakery, serves a full menu 24 hours a day, but is best known for its breakfast offerings: the "secret recipe" buttermilk pancakes are a huge hit, and the three-egg omelets earn high marks too. Also located at the Grand Gateway Hotel, Cheers Sports Lounge and Casino serves the full Perkins menu and draws a mix of sports fans and entertainment-seekers.Recreation
Kids gravitate to the indoor pool area, which features a 130-foot waterslide, hot tub, arcade and pool tables. Grand Gateway Hotel guests can order food from Perkins here and eat poolside. The hotel also has a fitness center with free weights and basic cardiovascular equipment.Transportation

Nice water slide, room OK
Indoor Pool with water slide great for kids and large indoor pation area with lots of tables/chairs. Location is good, close to attractions and food. Room and hallway smelled smokey, probably use to be smoking rooms but could not get smell out of upholstry after making hotel all non-smoking.

Would not say "Grand"
The hotel was fine, but needs a few updates. No wifi in rooms, no fridge or microwave in rooms, no breakfast included...these all tend to be fairly standard these days. Especially when the destination of Rapid City is one for tourists who travel with coolers and need a place to keep items cold. Definitely not the picture they portray in the website ads. The hot tub is a joke. Luckily we were so busy with activities that we were barely at the hotel. It is pretty centrally located to the activites we wanted to do. We stayed at two other hotels on this entire trip and this one was our least favorite. One highlight in the room was the shower head. I know it sounds funny, but it was really great! Kind of sad, when the best thing I can say is the hotel has great shower heads!

Fab Famly
Very Good Accomidations.
A good experience. Stay was very short as the purpose was to save time in getting family to an early flight without a long drive before and another after their flight left. Arrived about 6PM, ate dinner, slept and up at 3AM to get to the airport.

Not the best value
Average hotel, not a very good value due to uncomfortable rooms, and no continental breakfast.

Minutes from Mt Rushmore Rd. Bear Country USA is a must. Our 8 yr old son loved seeing the animals. Had up close time with lots of bears.

Average hotel
Loved the pool, especially the slide. Staff was very friendly. Our room had a funny smell, and we thought for the price should have included a complementary b-fast. Room could use some updates

disappointed
the room seemed old and tired as did the hallway. the sheets were scratchy. what caused us to feel like we were itching? was it the sheets? how do they wash them? the next morning, 2 of us had sinus headaches. is there a mold or dust mite problem with the room? having perkins next door is a plus. nice service there.
