Average

This hotel got 4.2 stars with rave reviews so I thought I would give it a try on our road trip to Sturgis. It was $250 a night which I found to be very expensive that area. Aqua checked us in and they were great, very efficient. The room felt quite clean but it was extremely musty we had to fight with the window to get it open and get some fresh air in. We l left the window open all evening until we went to sleep, due to the noise. The complimentary breakfast was fine, normal of what one would expect a seating area is very small though so it was extremely crowded. Didn't use the gym or pool or business facilities. There is a grocery store and a couple of restaurants very close by so that was a plus. We just had Subway delivered.

Breakfast was soso. I think the floor would have been more comfortable than the bed. My body ached for hours after the sun finally came up. I give a 3 star because the staff was great and the facility was so clean.
