We stayed here previously in 2010 and wasnt all that impressed then. We like to stay at LaQuinta's because of their pet friendly policy. We were very disappointed with the quality of the room and the building. The front desk staff was inatttentive to us and we had the feeling that we were botherthing them by checking in. We were...

Upon arrival we were greeted by a very helpful front desk clerk. We got a king suite which was nice size wise. Within 15 minutes the front desk called to confirm things were ok with the room. At that point there were no complaints. We ate downstairs in the restaurant on site and food was average. No mint for mojitos... More

This hotel is located near all the places and attractions we wanted to visit on our vacation. The best part was spending the evening at the indoor water park relaxing and enjoying the great food and beverages offered by the hotels restaurant (Sliders) while the children played. Will definitely stay at this hotel again!

I travel with my dog. I stay at LQ for one reason.......they accept pets without question. They make you feel like your pet is part of the family. Not so at LQ/Rapid City. I was asked if I was traveling with a pet when I reserved and again when I checked in. The reason: They were grouping the pet owners... More

The hotel was clean and obviously very family-friendly. The hotel is attached to an indoor waterpark. The hotel is promoted as 100% smoke free, but it is also 100% pet friendly. I wasn't aware of this when I booked and prepaid the weekend. When I was checking in, I saw 4 families either entering with their dogs or walking around... More

Our room was very clean and the staff was kind. The beds were comfortable and clean. The water park gets a bit crowded but fun for all ages. Needs a bigger parking lot but other than that we are very satisfied with our stay. Great location right off the interstate.

We had a room booked at another hotel and the staff was able to get us a great rate with adjoining rooms since we have a ton of kids :). Our initial plan was to just drive to the indoor water park, but we were able to just walk down the hall. The staff was INCREDIBLE and that is what... More

The la Quinta is attached to both the Watiki water park and sliders grill, it is just ok, the walls are not very thick so it was very noisy and we had some leftovers from a previous guest in our fridge
