Not the greatest

Traveling with our 2 Standard Poodles, we were having a difficult time find a dog friendly place to spend the night. The price was higher than we were hoping in Rapid City, but thought the La Quinta sounded good. Upon arrival into our room, we were surprised to see how few “extras” were available. It had a kitchen with a small mini fridge. But so small, it had barely enough space to put anything. We opted to keep our cooler in action. But we couldn’t refreeze out ice. No freezer compartment. Next surprise was no silverware…or dishes. Just empty cabinets. The electrical connections were not working properly so we failed to get a charge for our various electronics.

The noise from the freeway (I-90) kept us awake and the bed was not very comfortable. In the morning, we headed to the breakfast buffet. It was dry cereal, a few assorted yogurts, white bread or bagel, some packages of pb and j and a waffle maker. The fruit was a dish of bruised apples. That’s it. I don’t remember leaving a review for any hotel stay before. We are typically Marriott people, and are usually very happy with our stays there. This hotel was dog and kid friendly, which we really appreciate but the noise was pretty loud; pretty late. One plus: a great, fenced-in dog relief area. Just need a little attention to the details that make your guests feel like you really care about them.
