Adoba Eco Hotel

When I first booked this hotel I was excited it appeared to be a great hotel. I am passing thru Rapid City and decided to spend the night here. I am traveling with my husband and 2 children. We arrived at dinner time. When I walked in the front door to check in I was not greeted at all I stood at the counter for 10 minutes while 2 employees have a conversation amongst themselves and don’t acknowledge me…
What happens next is besides me. I walk into the restaurant inside this hotel where I am not greeted by the old woman working there but I am rather stared at. I politely say hello and let her know we have never been her and are traveling with children and asked for a kids menu. At that time I was looked down upon in a very snooty manner as if t was beneath her to hand me a kids menu. And this isn’t the typical kids menu. 4 options and for a child with allergies grilled cheese was the only option.
After I looked at the regular menu I asked if they had hamburgers or chicken sandwiches and explained I wasn’t hungry for pasta dishes or a huge steak. Again this woman looks down on me for asking for a bar menu she had the nerve to tell me that there wasn’t one and the regular menu was my only option. Finally a bartender walked over and handed me a bar menu to order a chicken sandwich from.
When I asked what drinks they have to offer she tells me that’s too much for one person to carry up to my room and use the vending machine. R U SERIOUS??? I let it slide I tried to pay there and then and was refused to be allowed to do that. When I asked what my kids meal came with she told me just apples and a grilled cheese sandwich I say ok so no fries? She says no so I order a full side of fries for my kids to split. When the food arrives there are FRIES!!! So I spent more money than I even needed too to begin with.
Next, the server arrives at my room and the food is stacked on a cart with plenty of room for drinks! What a waste and utter laziness of this hotel. After this we are getting our children ready for bed and they freshly fall asleep around 8 or 9 and then there is a loud disturbance in the hall there were young escort in this hotel running from a man trying to hurt them. That alone woke my kids. I try to get them back to sleep as I’m calling the front desk to complain and ask for security to come up and take a look. Security is useless, they walk up the stairwell look at my room door and walk away. I call down to the front desk again and am told security had the girls and it was being cared for. Then once my kids who are now scared fall back to sleep there is a loud huge party for 4 hours I call the desk and no one answers… Were they partying too?! This is the worst hotel that I have ever stayed in, in my life. And by far the worst of rapid city so far. I will NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN not only is everyone rude but now I don’t feel this is a safe place for kids to stay of they allow escorts. When I asked for a refund they told me that isn’t an option. I am so disgusted what a waste of $ 170 smh! DO NOT EVER STAY HERE!!! I’m so disappointed. And seriously offended by the people here. I was considering moving to rapid city but if the different class of people are all rude then there is no way in hell I will ever live here. I only come here for one reason my doctor is amazing. I travel 7 hours every 3 months to see him.

this hotel was good! the staff was really nice and smiling! also he helped me to find my stuff!
the breakfast was include with price ~ was delicious with good coffee!

Amazing staff everyone and I mean everyone was extremely nice and polite. And to top it all off the shop by in the evening and offer complimentary sweets and if your not in y out room at the time rthey leave it in your bed. Thought that was cool. Haven’t been in a hotel like this anywhere. The rooms are amazing and so comfortable I would deffanitly stay here again and again when I’m in town. Amazing place!!!

I was on vacation, on tour of the National Parks and Rapid City, SD/​Mount Rushmore was the last stop on the leg of this trip. The next day I was returning home. It was an excellent location in the center of town. It was right on Main Street and on each corner, there was a statue of our former US presidents. Main Street had multiple restaurants with different cuisines within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel was very comfortable and stressed environmental concerns. the shampoo, conditioner and body lotion were in big bottles in the shower so as not to waste all of the small bottles that are usually provided in a hotel setting. There were also signs that they would appreciate if you could reuse your towels as opposed to changing them daily and taxing the environment. On the morning I was going to leave, it was really early and the dining room was not yet open for breakfast; they provided me with a breakfast box to take with me to the airport. I would recommend and if I am in the area again, I would return to the Adoba Eco hotel.

I’ve stayed at some nice hotels, but this one is just about my favorite. This is because the staff are so friendly & cool without being servile. & also because their breakfast is good. & also because the bed was incredibly comfortable. & also because I slept under a giant bison poster every night. I also liked being right downtown so that I could walk around Rapid City.

This hotel seems to be newly remodeled and is really metro-​modern. Totally my style and I loved it. The staff was so so so nice. I was so happy this was available at a moments notice. This was the last and only hotel, during a 9 day trip that I actually had time to just vedge in and enjoy. I’m so glad this is how the trip ended. The room was super cool and relaxing. The included breakfast was wonderful. It was within walking distance to a lot of great restaurants downtown, the presidential statues (JFK was right on the corner) and the downtown square. If I ever come back to Rapid City I will definitely stay here. My only «complaint» was that housekeeping knocked on the door 2x before 9am. I called the front desk and It did not happen again. From start to finish this hotel was the perfect choice.

LOVE this hotel! The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the food isn’t great. Cool décor in the rooms. Very clean rooms. Friendly staff. This will definitely be my go-​to hotel while visiting RC!

A perfect stopover spot on our way to the Crazy Horse Monument. Our corner king room was well appointed and spotless. The bed was incredibly comfortable! We will look forward to returning.

We were welcomed by friendly staff. Rooms were clean and bed was heavenly. They accommodated our large friendly dog. Free breakfast was average but it was convenient and met our needs. Wi fi was overwhelmed and non functioning at times but I found this to be true in much of SD. The friendly staff, cleanliness and quality bed would be worth coming here again. Décor is quirky in a good way. We appreciated it as it fit the area.

old hotel, appears to undergoing partial renovations to some of the guestrooms. the rest of the hotel is pretty run down. proximity to downtown is the only plus.

We stayed here in Feb. while visiting Mt. Rushmore. We saved over 50% per night by staying there in the winter rather than the summer. They have a free breakfast buffet that is excellent. The rooms are comfortable even though the décor in our room was too contemporary for me. The hotel has a free airport shuttle. The staff are very nice. The hotel is centrally located and you can walk to all of the shops and restaurants. Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial are each about 30 miles away.

We stayed here while driving cross country with our two cats. We were really happy with it — I found the room very clean and in good shape, the hotel handyman was in another room, and he saw me coming up with a luggage cart loaded with stuff and he very nicely helped open the door and offered to unload for me.
We ate dinner and it was delicious — we were very pleased with the restaurant, which was quiet and the waitstaff was very nice. In the morning the free breakfast was also very good, best one we had on our trip.
For a pet friendly hotel, this was the best we saw. It’s hard to accommodate pet owners and still keep everything looking and smelling good. They did extremely well, and everyone was also very welcoming.

The website is MUCH nicer than the hotel. Rooms decorated Ol but not really clean and dated desks, bathroom fixtures, etc. An old Radisson that has been «redone». Smoky lobby due to the bar. Restaurant employees have attitudes? Strange place. Would not recommend.

Stayed here with bus tour nice place good location spacious room and descent food in restaurant

Well, I was going to give this place four stars but as I opened Unilocal,the first picture I just saw was someone’s massive dog laying on the bed. I like dogs but I do not like them at hotels, and I definitely do not think a dog on a hotel bed is a great endorsement for someone who is considering staying here.
Unless the dog posted the picture himself. Then I take back everything I said.
Rooms are decent. They are trying to be interesting and different and they largely succeed.
The gym is tiny but it had the things I cared about that day so I was fine with it.
The toilets flush so fast and hard that you may have to go again after you flush one… it will scare the shit out of you if you’re not expecting it.
Free breakfast was decent. Parking was ample. The Eco was Eco. I don’t know what that means but I am standing behind it.
This might be the tallest building in Rapid City. I am not sure but I will say this anyway and then end my review.

Very attractive hotel, after we got through the mud and construction mess. The room was stylish and the bed was very comfortable.
The location is great, right downtown. Easy walk to great restaurants and shopping.
The reason for three stars is that the snazzy blinds don’t make the room dark. Light from the street streaked across my pillows, and when the sun came up, (at 5:09 this morning), I was awakened and inspired to write this review.

Decent hotel in a great location for a fantastic price. This hotel was recently renovated so some rooms are better than others. We stayed in two as out first room was next to a noisy intersection. I liked the décor of both rooms. They offer free wifi and breakfast. Stay here if you’re in Rapid CIty and want to be close to all the downtown bars– everything was walking distance.

When I was planning my trip to South Dakota, I was super excited to find Adoba as a hotel option. The rooms looked fantastic, with giant murals of Mt. Rushmore or a Sturgis Rally on the walls, neat furniture, and it’s green, so that’s pretty cool, I thought. When I arrived, I found several things to be disappointing. First, was that, upon entering my room, I discovered not a funky mural, but incredibly bland wallpaper. Seriously, about 84% of the reason I booked this place was for the promise of wacky décor. The website is incredibly misleading regarding the rooms. The furniture was cute enough, but still lackluster compared to photos of the rooms that are shown online.
The second was that despite having booked a handicapped accessible room, there were not many accommodation made. When I entered the bathroom, I discovered that the toilet was standard height, if not a bit lower, and there were no grab bars nearby. Similarly, the bathtub was a standard tub. That did have grab bars, but I wasn’t able to get in regardless. I noticed a bit later, that there was a toilet riser under the sink. I have a) never seen a hotel resort to that as an accommodation and b) don’t think it should be up to the guest to install it. But, install it I did (it was honestly still pretty low). The rest of the room was fine, but bathroom accessibility is very important.
The third was that the hotel didn’t really seem all that eco-​friendly. No low flow toilets or automatic faucets. The light bulbs in my room were not CFLs and I did not see a notice of any linen program asking guests to consider re-​using towels and not having their sheets changed daily. There were no in-​room recycling bins.
My fourth disappointment, and this may just be my own problem, was that the restaurant and room service closed at 9 pm. That just seems a little early to me. That one was readily solved by Pizza Hut delivery one night and Chinese food delivery the other.
I did have breakfast at the hotel restaurant, called Enigma, the first morning I was there, since it was part of my room rate. Basically everything tasted like grease and when I was getting up from my chair to leave (remember, I do have muscular dystrophy and use a walker), the waitress said to me, «You poor thing». I didn’t return the next morning.
The customer service upon arrival and check out was actually quite good. The Adoba has that in its favor. If you have no special needs and don’t care about the design of your room, this place is just fine. The price was right for the amenities and the location convenient to many sights. If you want a room like the ones shown on their website, I would call and inquire about them directly when you make a reservation. I would also ask for specifics if you require handicap accessibility in your room.

This hotel just got updated!
Focused on eco details and organic product.
Centrally located, easy to walk around town. Fairly close to the airport, and super easy to get to Mt. Rushmore & Crazy Horse.
Looks like it’s THE rock-​n-​roll hotel as there as so many signed pictures on the Fame Wall.
If you’re going to Sturgis, a very nice home base.

The place is a relatively tall building with free outdoor self parking.
They should have all automatic doors to enter. The first doors are heavy and not automatic which is a pain while bringing in luggage. No person was available to bring in our luggage and there was no luggage rack available. That being said it is a nice building, large clean room, and large bathroom. Lots of electrical outlets. No fridge or microwave. You would spent 2 – 10 times the amount in a large city. We also saved $ 30 by booking online at
($ 49) called hotel and they charged $ 79 for a king bed. Also includes free breakfast in their real restaurant.
Restaurants and bars are walking distance with the presidents statues are all over. JFK & Jr are in front of hotel. Also there’s a casino in the lobby. Good deal nice place– I’d stay there again it’s a no brainer.
