We have stayed at this hotel 3 times in the past 1 1/2 years. The rooms are small but have everything you need for an overnight stay, the facility is very clean and the beds are as comfortable as any of the expensive hotels where we have stayed. Breakfast is included. There is an indoor hot tub and an outside... More

We were very pleased with our stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. The room had microwave and refridgerator. Great price and good location to the area. We were able to walk to quite a few places.

Clean rooms, free breakfast, good location, priced right, friendly staff helpful with local questions and good choice of restaurants within walking distance and a convenient mall. Would recommend the best value in the area.

When my employer said I had to stay at Americas Best Value Inn in Rapid City, my heart sank, because the other properties in this chain I am familiar with are run down. The Rapid City location was a nice surprise. I stayed in two different rooms and both were clean and comfortable. The fridge and microwave were nice additions.... More

We stayed here in March 2013. The breakfast was nutritious and the bed was comfortable. As it snowed overnight, it was great to be able to go to an inside breakfast room rather than walk outside the building. The staff easily accommodated us at the same rate when we decided to stay an extra night. They also were helpful re... More

The hotel was very clean and neat. Great continental breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It was nice to have a tall shower head in the shower and the very different and neat bathroom sinks. I would definitely stay again when I am in Rapid City.

When I got stuck in Rapid City during one of the Black Hills crazy winter weather, I was fortunate to find Americas Best Value Inn had a room available and ready for me.
