As a traveler who's been all over the globe from the Americas to the far East! This property carries a genuine captivating story most importantly it was built with love and care. The service is exceptional and the staff was just wonderful. I have witnessed someone who visited the area recently, after seeing mount Rushmore,Crazy Horse and the Blackhills he was asked what's your favorite place throughout your stay in the area and his answer was the Hotel Alex Johnson!

Absolutely love this hotel. It is beautiful and very neat all the history behind it. Everyone from FDR to Ozzy Osbourne has stayed here on their wall of notable guests.

Room service is nice and so is the location.

During a nightmare travel day our plane had to emergency land in Rapid City and our plans kept changing, and the staff at the hotel could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Highly appreciated the service and care I was shown by multiple staff members.

Great place to stay, even better central location and easy to find from all around town due to its tall red sign. The onsite restaurant on the top floor and the Irish pub on the first floor are super cool too!
