Holiday Inn Spearfish-Convention Center

This is a big hotel not far off I-90, but far enough away and up on a hill, so no traffic noise. Attached restaurant, Lucky's, has decent if not gourmet food. Breakfast was quite good, although large as is typical in the western US. It can be a bit of a walk to your room and the restaurant. We were not there during a convention, so no waiting for table in attached restaurant.

We stayed here for one night while passing through town. Check-in was quick and courteous. Our one king + sofa room was clean and it was clear that the furniture had recently been replaced. The bed was extremely comfortable and the mini refrigerator fit everything from our cooler. The room fit our needs well. Unfortunately, the bathroom was extremely worn with cracks in the tub and some light staining as well as a toilet that seemed to run forever. As an aside, the hallways throughout the property always seem to smell of bacon. In the evening when we checked in, later when we got back from dinner, in the morning. Maybe it's a signature scent? 🥓

Do not stay at this property unless you love surprise charges on your card after your stay, that the staff will not tell you about up-front. They also don't seem to care much about taking care of their guests when they call for support/service.

Found out the day of our stay that the pool still wasn't done and there was no arcade as the website promised.....needless to say, our son was very disappointed. There was a corvette convention during our stay, which was super cool, but the hotel was packed. I assume that is why we were placed at the back of the hotel on the corner/end right by the door, which was pretty loud with people coming in and out. Restaurant was ok, seemed like frozen food was just heated up. My son's chips, salsa and cheese was clearly just jar food from store. Breakfast on the other hand was great. Our server was awesome and it was very cool to talk to the participants in the convention while we were there. Wouldn't stay here again as it was almost $300 and you could get way more of the spearfish adventure staying in a cabin.

What a great place to stay. The rooms were clean. The service was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would recommend staying here if you have the ability to do so. The only negative is they were remodeling the pool, so no swimming for my grandchildren. Plus: they gave us a meal voucher because of the pool. You do not get a free continental breakfast, but the food in the restaurant is very good.

We stayed here with our points. We were bummed about the pool and hot tub not being open. Hotel itself was alright and has a restaurant and bar attached to it and an Applebees a stones throw away. Overall, staff was friendly and place was quiet and clean.

We stayed here for a wedding which was being held on the property. Take one of their white washcloths and wipe down the bathroom counter and you will see how dirty it is. The a/c couldn't keep up with the heat. The bride was not happy with quite a few things, but I'll let her write her own review. There are many better options in the area.

One of the worst experiences in my life staying away from home. After traveling 7 weeks throughout the West, we headed home and stayed here. Not even worth one star. Screaming and shouting until after midnight. No security was available, nor was management. We are extremely tired this morning and can't find any redeeming quality. The parents of this gand of kids were in the bar doing their own thing. Just a terrible experience.
