Great Location Downtown
I was driving across the US and this hotel was a welcome change from the chain hotels. Location was great. We loved the historic character of the property. We got much more than we paid for at this hotel. Turned out to be one of the best we stayed in.

A great historic hotel
The hotel is historic and some things probably need an update, but overall, I thought The Hotel Alex Johnson was great. The historical pictures around the hotel along with the great history made the stay more interesting. The location is unbeatable. The bed was very comfortable, towels fluffy, and ammenities were good. I would've paid much more than $60 to stay here.

Very good! I always enjoy staying at the Alex Johnson in Rapid City. It's close to restaurants, a very nice downtown and pleasant.

Alex Johnson Hotel
The Alex Johnson in Rapid City is an excellent historic hotel in the heart of downtown Rapid City. The rooms were well appointed and clean and the staff was helpful and attentive. The location is close to a lot of restaurants and downtown attractions. We stayed during the off-tourist season and the hotel was an excellent value. I recommend it!

Not what I expected
I heard this hotel had been remodeled and since it is historical I wanted to give it a try. Well the room was clean and comfortable but VERY small. The walls must be very thin as we could here our "neighbors" intire conversations. The bathroom is super small, sink, toilet, and tub all squeezed into one very tiny room. We tried to turn on the heater to help with noise control but it smelled when we turned it on and was ancient looking so we thought best to leave it be....so we put in our ear plugs and went to sleep. I really doubt I'll stay here again as there are other hotels for less money that are as nice or nicer and much quieter and include a breakfast. The other issue we had was having to park a block and 1/2 away on the very top of the parking garage with no cover.

Extra Fee
I didn't care for them asking for a second credit card for amenities. Even if you don't use any of their stuff they charge you $20 and refund it to you two weeks later.

Great Stay!
The beds in this hotel are the most comfotable beds I have ever slept in, the pillows were wonderful as well. I just had surgery a couple of weeks ago and was affraid to go to any hotel because lets be honest after major surgery the only comfortable bed is your own, but this was wonderful I had no complaints. Everything was wonderful about this hotel from the friendly service to the bath & body works shampoo, conditioner and soaps in the room. I have not one complaint!!! Also the Sky bar was neat being able to look over the city is very relaxing.

Well maintained historical lodging
Having grown up in the area and always wondering what it would be like to stay at the HAJ, my stay was very enjoyable. The investment in upgrades and upkeep was obvious, the staff was great and the view from the 9th floor was awesome. I'll book again the next time I'm back that way.
