Sturgis

10/10 Excellent

This hotel is so cute. It had things that needs fixed, like they were in a bit of a hurry to get it up and running, so minor things here and there. Like the shower was not fully sealed at the top, some brick on two of the walls were replaced with a piece of wood (hopefully for now). The beds were comfortable and the staff is very nice. We will stay again.
