Situated in Sturgis, 46 km from Journey Museum, The Sturgis Motel features views of the mountain. Located around 22 km from Adams Museum, the motel is also 46 km away from Dinosaur Park. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. The location was perfect for visiting north west South Dakota - an hour from everything we wanted to see, the badlands, bear lodge (devils tower) the needles, Custer state park etc. The price was amazing for the quality of the motel. It’s clean, not in disrepair, the beds were comfy and the shower was great. The best part was definitely the owners - Rhonda and Jake went above and beyond to take care of us. They stored our kayaks for us while we stayed with them as we didn’t want to drag them around with us what out exploring. They couldn’t have helped us more! They are the best motel hosts I’ve ever experienced and I stay in motels a LOT. We can’t wait to come back and visit with them again!
