• Hotels in Rapid City give you a base to visit Crazy Horse Monument.crazy horse monument image by jedphoto from Fotolia.com
  
  Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse monument are both attractions that you'd easily reach from Rapid City, but this South Dakota community has its own charms, too. A historic downtown evokes the Wild West, Storybook Island is a theme park just for the little ones, or you could try a round of golf or shopping at Rushmore Crossing. Either way, several hotels in the city give you choices to suit multiple budgets and styles.
