the historic look, clean, the rooftop bar

Stayed in June 2025

Beautiful architecture, great history well displayed, nice shop attached. Included breakfast at Starbucks- attached. Rooftop bar with a worthwhile view. Talented bartender, Benji!

The lifts were strange and took a bit of getting used to. The on site pub was very lively and really not our thing.

The room was spacious and clean. Shower large and great water flow

Location and amenities were great. Despite being crowded, it was very quiet when we slept.

Although they provided a valet service, it was more cost effective to pay for the city meter system.

The location was central to the downtown shops, restaurants, and night life activities.

Shower stall is extremely narrow and I have a slender build. Anyone overweight would be banging from side to side if they were able to fit in. Parking is an issue. They charge $30. (rounding off) Street meter parking stops charging at 6:00 p.m. and restarts at 7:00 a.m. Grab a spot near by and save $30. Feed the meter in the morning ($1.00 an hour) and go back to your room for a longer rest.

Location was great. Right snack in the middle of downtown. Walk out the front door and you’re walking around all the shops and restaurants. Nice view of the city from the rooftop.

Pee stained wall paper in bathroom, had to ask for 2 towels every day ( 4 of us and they only reset us with 2 towels )

The valet situation wasn’t great. You have to use valet unless you want to get up at 7am to fill the meter. We thought we’d get a text when our car was ready but we waited a long time with no word and it was waiting outside for like 40 minutes. Our car had mud splashed on it when we got it back too.

Such a beautiful hotel. The staff were wonderful, especially Cynthia! Comfortable bed. Small bathroom but the shower products were great.

Seemed hard to get coffee in the morning.

The upper patio was great just had trouble with key cards that weekend.

Stayed in March 2025

Parking was a challenge. Did valet, but they have to park down the street. Takes a while to retrieve vehicle to go out.

Very comfortable bed. Enjoyed reading about the history of the hotel. Super Starbucks.

Room 921 was fine for the age of hotel

Stayed in May 2025

AC was a bit odd the way it turned off and on and regular TV was not working. Valet is a bit inconvenient but you always have the option to meter park.

Very cool historic hotel in downtown Rapid. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. There was a rooftop bar for hotel guests, but didn’t get the chance to visit.

Stayed in May 2025

The staff were okay, could be more friendly but I’m good at ignoring people. There were some teens taking pictures when we arrived which was very hectic just trying to get an elevator to get to our room. Trying to get room service or an answer from the restaurant (Paddy’s) was hard. No one ever answered and had to call the front desk more than once.

I appreciated the free breakfast as it was from Starbucks which is good. Although I’m sure I paid for it on the back end.

Too many doors in the room and noisy

Good location, nice old with history

The strange people at the front desk came across as being a little rude, but the normal people were quite friendly and helpful.

A great place to stay, and the restaurant on top of the building had the best steak in town during stock show. A place I'll definitely stay again...

A little long in the tooth.

Location right downtown was great!

It would be nice to have king bedding on the king beds, rather than queen size.

Our Junior King Suite was a beautiful room.

Parking situation is terrible.

Near good restaurants

Small room and no chair in room

Great location fun old hotel with good pub and bar on roof

Stayed in October 2024

The parking situation is a little challenging. Valet is quite expensive and the parking app for street parking wasn't working properly, which is not the hotel's fault, but it did mean we had to keep moving the car around.

The Hotel Alex Johnson is in a great location with a fantastic rooftop bar that affords views of the Black Hills and Rapid City. Our king bed was comfortable, the room was quiet, and the blackout blinds were so effective we didn't realize it was daylight when we woke up the first morning. We will definitely stay again if we return to Rapid City.

All was very good.we enjoyed our stay. And liked all the history of the hotel. And loved the painted of the Hotel that we saw in the gift shop.

Room was right off the elevator. 2 queen beds not alot of room between beds and dresser. But enough for one person to get through at a time.

Stayed in October 2024

Elevator smelled like garbage because they use the public elevator

Old building and great staff. Breakfasts are delicious

Stayed in October 2024

The only parking they had was valet and it was expensive.

The location was excellent and it has multiple restaurants.

Stayed in October 2024

Unlike other hotels no dedicated parking for guests. valet parking is $28 a day so factor that in or pay for metered street parking

Central, historic hotel which has a lot of history. Rooftop dinning & nighttime views of Rapid City was great with fires to warm you on a chilly evening
