Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City, Curio Collection by Hilton

The history, and location. Absolutely everything!

Nothing

The location was good. Bed was comfortable.

The water in the shower was lukewarm. We paid 40.00 extra for a free breakfast and got gift card to Starbucks. The restaurant is not open on Sunday.

The history here is really unique. Nice homage to the Native Americans. Many famous people have stayed here, and it is fun to look at the wall of famous guest's pictures near the elevator. The second floor has many interesting old photos of the hotel and area. The location is walkable to the whole downtown. There is a Starbucks attached to the hotel, and the chunky chipmunk chocates attached to the lobby are really good. The food in the Irish bar, attached to the hotel, is quite good, and the views from the rooftop bar are amazing. The rooms are small, but modern and have everything you need. They are doing some room remodels, floor by floor. It will be nice when all of the floors are finished being remodeled. The star of the whole place are it's employees. They are so fun and entertaining and attentive. They are proud of the hotel's history. I didn't stay on the 8th floor, but I roamed the hallway and didn't see any supernatural stuff. Lol. In fact, it was a very restful stay. :) Thank you, staff, for a wonderful stay.

I loved the location right in the center of Rapid City and the fact that the Alex Johnson is an historic hotel made my stay very special. Also, Cynthia, at the front desk was GREAT, VERY HELPFUL!

The room smelled a little like cigarette smoke and I think it was the carpeting or AC. The hotel offered a deep cleaning free of charge and I was told the rooms are about to be renovated with hardwood flooring.

The only good thing about this place is its location, but it's still not worth the price.

A house keeper came into my room completely unannounced and without permission. I was in the room and had the Do Not Disturb sign out. It's unbelievable (and terrifying) how unprofessional and careless the house keeper was. What's even more disappointing is the way the hotel handled the incident after I reported it -- they did nothing about it. All I'm looking for is some assurance that they would safety and privacy issues seriously and would make efforts to prevent such things from happening again. However, the hotel did not reach out to me by phone (like the front desk promised me they would do) or respond to my email. It is extremely concerning. Aside from that, the room is very small and old for its price. There was no desk, which is inconvenient for business travelers. I will not return to this hotel next time I'm in Rapid City, and I certainly do not recommend it to anyone else.

We got held up on the new elevator, when other customers hit the button to use the elevator. They chose not to get on with us, door closed, and we sat for a few minutes, before we figured out, we needed to open the door and "restart" our decent to the lobby.
