Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City, Curio Collection by Hilton, Rapid City

We would not re-book at the Alex Johnson, we were told that there was security and parking for our motorcycles on site, instead we had to use a garage down the street, no security. Staff was friendly, unfortunately they require a lot more training. View at the top of the hotel which offered dining as well was a joke. Menu was limited.

This was a very cool old hotel redone! We loved it and would stay there again in a heartbeat

An excellent choice when visiting Rapid City as it places you at the very heart of the best part of town, all is within short walking distance. We stayed here one night prior to flying out the next day and loved it. The rooftop restaurant/bar with it's firepits is not to be missed - great for meeting with a group of friends.

Hotel Alex Johnson is trading on its location and lobby architecture. Everything else about it was disappointing. Only 2 small elevators for 10 floors and one was broken each day; the front desk crew was curt, bordering on rude every time we approached them. Just rude. We booked a Junior Suite. Our room was dated, ugly, worn down, with an uncomfortable bed, noisy out of date air conditioner, tired bathroom. In a word: depressing. Apparently still leveraging its last renovation in 1980. $200 a night for what exactly??? Half the floors had been renovated, but for those of us who booked a suite, we got stuck in the rooms that hadn't been completed yet - so we paid more for a worse room. Will never stay here again and highly recommend that if you're drawn in by the history, just visit the lobby, save your money, and stay at another hotel. Any other hotel.

Unsafe neighborhood/downtown area. Lacking amenities, and parking. And...we had a few eerie experiences.
