    View from our room.  I liked that our car was within view and key range so I could lock my car even in the room.

    We came to stay at the hotel as a base for our visit to Mt Rushmore. We had just checked out of an Autograph Collection hotel in the Marriott family in Jackson WY so we knew we had to adjust our expectation coming to The Courtyard. However, we were very pleasantly surprised how updated the hotel was - The lobby, the hallway and our room. Everything was immaculate and clean. There was ample room for luggage for 2 adults. We a had nice view of hills in front of the hotel. It was late afternoon when we checked in and we opted for an early dinner at the hotel bistro. I ordered tomato soup and grilled cheese. It was simple but it was way better than anything we had in Yellowstone NP and Grand Teton NP (including the Yellowstone Hotel Dining Room and the Old Faithful In Dining Room)! The location is convenient. It was only 30 minutes to Mt Rushmore,ore and 10 minutes to the major chain stores and eateries to stock up for our road trip.

    Your Gold Elite membership... (pyrite at this hotel)

    Stayed April 20-21 and I will say the price was good and the accommodations were modern, clean and new but... But I can get that anywhere... Marriott, Hilton, etc. why bother be loyal to Marriott? They reward you, that's why.... Or do they? The Gold Elite status note in the mobile app indicated that a complementary upgrade will be provided if one was available. I checked the availability of a better room in the app before I approached the desk and the app would let me book the better room. Proof that it was available that night. Upon approaching the front desk, I asked if the complementary upgrade was available. I indicated that the mobile app clearly showed availability of nicer rooms. The clerk said no complementary upgrade was available but I could pay for an upgrade. The clerk pointed out complementary upgrades at that Marriott were reserved for Platinum Elite. Then he launched into all sorts of excuses about not being a luxury hotel which had no bearing on the request or the Marriott policy of providing the upgrade if available clearly stated in the app. And we checked in after 10 pm. Pretty safe to say that there wouldn't be a random Platinum Elite member sauntering in without a reservation looking for an upgrade for a single nite stay that night. Marriott Gold Elite is worth iron pyrite (fools gold) at this hotel... something South Dakota is famous for apparently. Thankfully our other 4 hotels this trip were accommodating and followed Marriott policy and offers.

    Family vacation 2021...bringing the California variant of COVID-19 to your city. There is no pandemic here in this part of South Dakota. This was the first Marriott property that we stayed at where almost everyone including the Marriott employees did not wear masks. The only people wearing masks were my fellow Asians and at risk people. It was nice to finally take that mask off. The Courtyard was the perfect hotel for us to stay at for our adventures around the Rapid City area. It was in proximity to everything including Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Sturgis, Deadwood, the Black Hills and Wall Drug. The Courtyard is a newer hotel. The hotel implies that they are in Rapid City, but, they are really in Box Elder, a couple miles away from Rapid City itself. As a Southern California resident, I didn't know better, nor did it matter. The room we were given was very roomy, yet nicely decorated. It had 2 queen beds as requested. The shower was a walk in shower. They had a shower dispenser of Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree shampoo, conditioner and soap in the shower. The room was very comfortable to stay in at night after a long day of exploring. Marriott Platinum and above member are given a choice of points or $10 per adult (up to two) for breakfast. We chose the breakfast from their Bistro Bar. The Bistro Bar does a very good job with breakfast. Their breakfast is cooked to order and is much better than the scrambled eggs, served at other hotels with breakfast buffets. I liked this hotel. Not because it gave me freedom from my mask, but because it was a very good property in a very good location. The staff was nice and helpful. They made me wish that I had stayed more than 2 nights here. I'm ready to go back now and visit more of the sights around the Rapid City area.

    Bug on the window in Room # 2

    Avoid this place at all cost! The management is terrible Jesse and Adam to be exact, they really need to some additional training on good customer service. I was once a manager in the hospitality industry and the way they handled this situation was so insensitive. Although I am only Silver Elite (will reach Gold this month), I held Marriott to such a high standard especially when it comes to how they treat their loyal customers. I arrived on business for a 1 night stay. I checked in to my room and was freshening up before attending a work event. When an employee barged in the room unannounced and once they saw the room was being occupied they frantically ran back into the hall. I stepped out to see what was going on as it startled me. The employee responded by saying "it won't happen again" and continued on. When I came back from my work event I noticed bugs in the tissue box in the bathroom and thought eh maybe its a one off. Then I noticed another bug on the ceiling shortly after, photos attached. I called down to the front desk to notify them and an employee came upstairs to take a look. When she saw the bug she said oh thats just a "whatever the name of the bug was (it was warm out)" it's just because of the weather, but I can move you. I've travelled the world to tropical and much warmer places, I've even done a 2 night Safari in the Masai Mara in Africa and never had a bug in my room. I moved to the second room and woke up to bugs on the window and this nasty stain on the window seal that looks like it could have been cleaned easily. The series of unfortunate events doesn't stop here unfortunately, after I arrived back home and showered I went to grab my reading glasses out of my bag and they were gone. I know they were stolen because I never put the glasses on while I was there. I wore contacts there and was tired from traveling and my event that I took a shower took the contacts out and went to sleep. Then awakened to more bugs and was eager to get out there quickly! I was there for 1 day with a small hardshell carry on bag and computer bag that was never opened after leaving the hotel until I arrived at home. When I called to inquire about the glasses the employee on the phone asked what brand they were and I replied Tom Ford. She put me on hold for maybe 20 seconds and came back and said they aren't here. I called a few times with the same outcome and eventually left a survey describing the incidents. Adam wrote back a generic statement saying they'd look into it and would share feedback to prevent this from happening again essentially. Adam did not bother to ask me what the glasses looked like, if they were in a case, what color they were... Nothing! So I reached out to customer service and Jesse contacted me with the same generic copy and pasted email again not even bothering to ask about details. My company has this property on our booking portal but I will be notifying them of this and recommending my co - workers stay somewhere else. I gave this property ample opportunity to remedy this issue (it happened 10/19/23), but since they have not I will be reaching out to their corporate and filing a police report (at the suggestion of Jesse).

    Spacious 2 queen with couch/sofa bed

    Stopped in here on our cross country road trip on our Mount Rushmore leg. Little did we know that it was the beginning of the Sturgis event and the place was slammed packed. Had to be 200 bikes in the parking lot. The staff handled it wonderfully. Went in about 11pm to check in and there was a long line. But they ran through it quickly. I even made a huge mistake when booking the room through mariott bonvoy app. I didn't hit confirm so when they went to look for my reservation it wasn't there. Completely my fault. With the huge crowd I just knew I was screwed. But they told me that had one double queen suite left and even price matched my app price for me and got me booked. So great customer service. The room itself was very spacious and huge. Very modern. I was a fan of the double tvs one for the two queens and the other For the pull out sofa bed. Also had a great patio setup. Conveniently located near foot establishments and within 25-30 min of all the major attractions including Mount Rushmore.

The bed was comfortable, and the room included basic amenities: TV, microwave, mini-fridge, iron and ironing board, and a hair dryer. That said, the place feels a bit tired. The interiors seem dated--as if they haven't been refreshed since the hotel opened. With the high turnover most hotels see annually, this kind of wear-and-tear should be expected and budgeted for. Upgrades could easily justify slightly higher rates. The shower head was noticeably scaled with lime or calcium buildup--something housekeeping should be addressing regularly. Breakfast was hot and offered a decent variety. However, we stayed for two mornings, and the same staff member was working both days wearing the same visibly stained and dirty shirt. It didn't inspire much confidence in the hotel's overall hygiene standards.

The ice maker also didn't work. The manager was only willing to give us $45 toward an over $100 hotel. I would not recommend staying here again and if you do have the person on staff that night go walk through the room with you to make sure everything is in working order before you pay because if not you will be stuck with a hotel cost and no help from the manager.

Unfortunately when we arrived and entered, it reeked of smoke! Really badly, eye burning. Apparently there was a prior guest in there who wasn't supposed to be rented to? I believe the hotel is 100% smoke-free. The person at the desk that night did apologize and move us to another room. Unfortunately, it had 2 queen beds rather than 1 king bed. We're here as a couple for a Valentine's Day getaway, so that does disappoint as it isn't what we paid for. No discount on the room offered or anything for the trouble. Additionally, it doesn't look like they offer in-room safes. I've stayed at motel 6's and super 8's that offer those! Not a reassuring feeling, and now we'll be gone all day worrying about valuables left in the room. Or we'll bring them in the car and hope they aren't stolen out of there. Finally, the in-room refrigerator doesn't have a freezer section. Sucks when you bring ice packs because you plan on packing a lunch to save money in these expensive times. Can't freeze those and can't bring a lunch on our day to the badlands. The refrigerator isn't very cold either. Maybe 50-55 degrees F. Do NOT store food in there, it won't keep. So much for keeping any leftovers if we eat dinner out. A couple small nitpicks like a hair in the shower stall, hey it happens. We're here a couple of more days. Maybe it'll get better. The parking, quiet room, and the breakfast are all big pros. On the other hand, it has been disappointing in a few key areas.
