Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Rapid City, SD
Everyone was super nice and helpful. The two lady’s I spoke with prior to get there helped get everything ready before our late arrival so we could just get straight into those comfy beds. The man checking us in was super patient with how sleep deprived I was so all around great service from them ...
