Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Rapid City

It takes a lot for me to write a review but this is one that I couldn't let go. Currently in the middle of our stay, but definitely need to draw attention to the morning breakfast service. We travel frequently and stay in different places quite often. Rarely have we stayed in a Fairfield Inn that didn't offer an excellent breakfast setting. However this one definitely fell short. Eggs and sausage were barely warm. Literally had to warm them in the microwave. Breakfast bar was not in a favorable order as far as convenience. Juice bar was located in the corner between the plates and plastic ware and the main course. Very limited selection of options for breads or muffins or pastries. Breakfast service personnel seemed a little bit grumpy about being there in the first place. No smiles or pl

It was a pretty average Fairfield Inn—it was clean and perfectly fine. The rooms were pretty small—not nearly big enough for a family of three and our luggage—we were tripping over each other and our stuff for several days. But there were some features in the room that were helpful—we loved the nightlight in the bathroom and appreciate the microwave and refrigerator. The water park passes were a nice bonus that we didn’t expect—we didn’t actually know there was a water park attached—but we never had time to use them. Overall a decent place to stay in Rapid City, we just wished we had a little more space.

I did not do my research before staying here but news near the airport. It caught me off guard there being a water park sticking out of the building but will be taking my son when he gets old enough to this hotel. In-house water park historic places to visit within an hour. The exit to get to the hotel is a little weird I missed it twice being really tired. The staff was friendly I was thinking about creating our very own handshake but decided it was better just to sleep to which I did peacefully in a clean room.

We always look to stay at renovated or newly build Farfields and for the longest time, they've never disappointed us. Until now, as this was by far the most worn down Fairfield we've ever stayed at. The cleanliness was also not as good as expected for a Marriott. To top it all of, they charged for parking (without notice), although Trip.com's listing includes free parking.

Made reservations two months prior to stay. Found out at time of arrival Watiki was closing early due to “private event” without prior notification. Rooms were good. Mostly clean - found a small screwdriver on the floor. Do not recommend the breakfast. Grabbed some bread for toast and found the bread hard like it was left out/exposed for some period of time. Tried an English muffin, same thing.
