Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Rapid City, SD
The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was good. The down side which isn't on the property is families let their kids help themselves and it is a bit dangerous. They let their kidsake their own waffles without supervision and is dangerous with the hot waffle iron
