Loved staying here, will definitely be back. My 4 year old enjoyed Watiki and we enjoyed other sites near Rapid City. Room was clean and comfortable, housekeeping kept us stocked on towels, and the rest of the hotel staff were nice.
This a decent property, but certainly not Fairfield’s finest. Their breakfast is a pitiful selection, both in choice and quantity. Rooms were comfortable and clean.
Unfortunately the water park was having maintenance issues while we were there so we did not get to use. Very convenient location. Room was nice, good breakfast. parking very busy.
Was an outstanding stay. Room was big, clean and well maintained.
Great free breakfast
Waterpark awesome also
My only complaint is actually getting to the property. It's an absolute disaster to actually get to.
The whole interchange and intersection is horrible
The room was really nice and roomy. Everything worked and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good. It would be nice to have the parking spots a little bigger. We really enjoyed our stay.
Everything was great but they do close the pools down early which was a bummer. I also thought the food was rather expensive for the quality. It wasn't like a 5 star dining experience. It's a pizza & burger joint
We specifically looked for an overnight hotel with a water park and Fairfield met all of our expectations. Staff were friendly and helpful. Check in was a breeze. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was just right. We would definitely stay again.
This was an excellent place to stay! We have an 8 and 13 year old and they both loved the water park. We spent the day sightseeing and the evenings at the water park! The Water Park was so convenient, we could order food and drinks to our table! We really loved everything about this hotel.
Great Family Stay with an Amazing Water Park!
We had a wonderful stay overall. The property amenities are fantastic, and the water park was the absolute highlight—my daughter loved it! It offered great value for money for our family trip.
The only area where service could improve is accommodating early check-outs. We had an early flight and asked management if a simple packed breakfast could be provided, but the request was declined. Having traveled internationally, grab-and-go breakfast boxes for early departures are a common courtesy at many hotels. Adding this service would really elevate their hospitality.
Overall, a very nice experience, and we would happily return!
