Cabins could use a little TLC (dripping faucets). No housekeeping service for the 3 night stay (towels with holes in them). Small pillows. Only 2 coffee discs for the entire weekend, Plus side -- well stocked fire pits and personal outdoor grills. Reunion building was great.

Don't trust the online pics w/ this place.

This place looks great if you ck it out online. No iron or ironing board provided. Room stunk of muskiness, rug needs a shampoo, bath needs a reno, no fan in bath. A/c didn’t work properly & it was hot that day/night. I really expected a decent stay but online rep was misleading. Was glad to leave & glad only booked 1 night. I’d never rec it to anyone. We loved SD tho,, do visit it, but stay elsewhere, it was no bargain either, lesson learned.

Very dated facility. Like staying in your relative's guestroom. Older furniture; poor lighting in the room. But room opened to the lake, very pretty setting. Next to a very nice lake park.

the a/c in the unit was too loud measuring 63 dB per my iphone dB meter. the carpet’s age made the apartment smell strange though it has been properly cleaned. i would have expected two bathrooms for a 365 dollar per day unit.

Our stay at Canyon Lake Resort fulfilled its objective as a quiet, clean, safe place to stay while we visited the Rapid City-area attractions. The motel lacked amenities you might find at a hotel, particularly regarding walkable restaurants or coffee shops, but those were only a drive away.
