Loved this hotel! We (my husband, kid and I)had so much fun at the water park, there is something for all ages here. Breakfast was great, and there was a ton of space for people to eat breakfast. They have 2 amazing people working the breakfast station, as one tends to keeping tables clean the other is making waffles. Rooms were so clean and smelled great. Everything was bright and welcoming! If and when we decide to go on vacation to SD again we will definitely remember La Quinta!

We really enjoyed staying here. Obviously, the water park is a great feature & must-do as a hotel guest. The in-house restaurant was also very convenient, as well as the free breakfast buffet during the mornings. Great experience & will stay here again on my next trip.

The property is nice. But, I'll NEVER stay here again because, after leaving, i was charged $19.52 for a "resort fee". When i called and questioned it, i was told anyone who stays there has to pay the fee for the water park that is connected to the hotel. I didn't even utilize the water park, but was forced to pay for it. I'll be staying elsewhere next time i travel to Rapid City. It's just another example of how the world is nickel and diming us to death. Disappointing since i was NEVER told about this fee/charge in advance. Shady!!!

Upon my arrival I checked in, the room had a terrible smell of pet urine, front desk person offered me a room spray to cover up the smell, then I was offered a different room, in a different room the shower surround was cracked by the bath fixture, I brought it to the attention of the front desk. The damp environment behind a cracked surround is an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew, these fungi can produce spores that can cause health issues, particularly respiratory problems and allergic reactions. Another thing is the walls are “paper thin”, the hotel was very noisy.
Cracked bath surround in the room bathroom.
