Rapid City is competitive, but certainly not like Denver, so you're in good shape.I would suggest Mike at Ascend Realty. 

In cities that have populations under 1M and might or might not be ascendant, absolutely.

With respect to your airport project, I would not want a sfd within a 5 mile radius, that is the airport control zone where large aircraft will be ascending or descending at lower altitudes, I'd want to be about 8 to 10 miles out from approach and departure bearings of the major or prominent runways.

For example Choice Hotels has what they call the Ascend Collection which is basically for boutique hotels that want to be a part of a larger brand.Any information would help including but not limited to:-Proposed area (or general area ) or desired type of area-Size of hotel - including # of keys (rooms)-Limited service or full?

I don't know the correct answer, but generally ascendants/descendants would take priority over siblings.
