"Went here for work across the state in search of a unique historical spot. The reason I chose this spot was the convenience of the restaurants inside the building. I love being able to stay in the same building and have dinner until 10pm, alcohol until midnight, and coffee as early as 6am. The valet was nice on Sunday morning, as the street parking was no longer free by 7am. Other than that, this building is very unique and beautiful...."

"Front Desk staff is phenomenal!!! Laura and Dan helped make a really special night for one of the guys in our group after I mentioned it was his birthday! They left some goodies, and a heartfelt, handwritten note! They jumped at the opportunity and made it such a memorable experience for him! Thank you!!!!"

"Stayed here for a few nights while on vacation. Our check in experience was wonderful. Cynthia checked us in and gave us some history of the hotel and some recommendations on sights, hang outs and food. Excellent customer service. Rooms were dated but nice. If I had one complaint, it would have been the music that was played on the rooftop bar (Juniper at Vertex). For such a beautiful place to hang out and grab a drink or bite to..."

"The Alex Johnson is where you want to stay when visiting Rapid City. You step out of the hotel and are walking distance from restaurants, shops and during the winter - the ice skating arena. Once we arrived and settled into the room we began receiving text messages from the staff checking on us and asking if we needed anything. That was something new. We stayed on the newly renovated 9th floor. The front desk gracious allowed us to check..."

"This hotel and rooftop bar were recommended by a local and we're so happy we stayed here. Dan welcomed us and made some great suggestions for our room location and for dinner (at the hotel of course). He was professional, efficient, and very courteous. We enjoyed our dinner on the rooftop bar. Great food and great service. Conner and Alex were so kind. We'll definitely stay here again if we're in the area."

"Update: Well, i may have wrote my original review too soon.(as well as sending an electronic tip prematurely) Actually ended up having to call multiple times to confirm shipping of said left item, never to get back in touch with Patrick. Ed took over and he was great to speak to, very reassuring, and finally came thru at a pak and mail (which I've never heard of) to confirm shipment. Well tho I received my item, anything of value that..."
