My stay at the Residence Inn was a mixed bag. The hotel has a great location near parks and restaurants, and the staff was friendly enough, which made the experience pleasant. On the downside, the breakfast was pretty basic and fell short compared to other Marriott locations I've stayed at, plus there were some minor issues with housekeeping and room maintenance.

The studio king room was clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. I appreciated the kitchenette with all the necessary items, but I did notice the bathroom mirror was damaged.

I had a fantastic stay at Residence Inn By Marriott Rapid City. The hotel is quite modern and clean, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of options to start my day (the fresh pineapple was a good treat!). However, I did experience some issues with the check-in process, which was a bit unpleasant at first. The wifi was also inconsistent at times in my room.

My stay at Residence Inn By Marriott Rapid City was largely positive. The 1-bedroom suite was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, perfect for my family. While the location was convenient for exploring the Black Hills, I did find the noise from the nearby hotels a bit distracting. Overall, it felt like a home away from home with friendly staff and great amenities.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. On one hand, the rooms were well-furnished and spacious, especially with the kitchen amenities, which were great for my family's needs. However, the noisy road traffic was a downside, and I encountered some issues with room cleanliness and maintenance that dampened my overall experience.

My stay at Residence Inn by Marriott in Rapid City was fantastic. The modern and spacious room exceeded my expectations, especially with the well-equipped kitchenette. However, the breakfast options could have offered more variety each day. Overall, despite some minor drawbacks, I'd happily return for another getaway.
