The owner couldn't be more welcoming & that was most welcome coming through 2 thunderstorms & 1 rainbow to get there. Rooms are great, bathtub even better! Trust & believe this will be my go-to choice when I go to Sturgis!

Google reviews are not always what you encounter nor are mine. I had no issue with staff. He answered the door right away. He was very nice. Answered the couple questions I had and gave me the key. I checked in later in the evening around 5ish. Room was clean. Everything worked good except you had to hold toilet handle down until your flush was complete and the shower was a little slow draining but for a one night stay it was doable. Never even turned on my TV so I could not tell you if it worked or not but everything was clean. Its not 5 star but for what I paid I got my money's worth and what I needed. Quiet for the most part. On the edge of small town life. Next to a Cafe which serves a good beef tip and salad. It served its purpose of allowing me to recharge and rest.

You can’t beat the price. It was clean and had all we were asking for. If you are okay with a simple room at a great price, this is perfect. The front desk is so friendly and welcoming too.

Would definitely stay again

First it was very clean! The gentleman running it was very nice! Very reasonable, and the original reason we chose it was it's pet friendly. Which we really appreciate.

No frills but very clean.

Stayed here many times, very clean, cozy basic rooms at a very good price for travelers on the move. It's no frills, but worth it off the beaten path.
