Our room at The Sojourn was perfect. It was clear that the bones of the place are an old motel, but the updates that have been done are great and we never once felt like we were staying in an outdated lodging. The kitchen is bare-bones, but it's more than sufficient for making a meal or two if you're staying for a week or less (we stayed for three nights). The bed was extremely comfortable, though I will say the pillows are a bit tiny, but that is a real nitpick. At the end of the day, if you're traveling to this part of the country, you're doing so to get outside and enjoy nature, not to enjoy your hotel room. As long as you're not expecting peak luxury, The Sojourn is perfect for recovering and and relaxing after some hard hikes.
Central location to all of the sites we wanted to visit.- perfect for our launching point for the days adventures. Secure & safe location in the city.
Property managers friendly, from the area and open to helping us. This was a "home away from home" - able to cook & even use outside grill for meals. Very reasonable.
We enjoyed our stay at the Sojourn in Rapid City. The location was about a mile away from The Monument where our event was held. Easy to get to and close to other attractions, right on the road to Mt. Rushmore. Clean, newly renovated with plenty of space. Only downside was we had to purchase a small portable fan because the A/C was in the other room. The fan helped push the cool air into the bedroom. Would definitely stay here again!
Excellent overall stay. The only downside was that the physical address to the location was difficult to find. And final directions on how to get the key is not sent until the morning of arrival. Since we were traveling and did not have internet this created a problem. Otherwise, the place was very clean and included everything we needed. We would stay again and encourage others to do so as well.
