Default I know it's early but..........

I had to book for 08 Sturgis already. Booked a room here http://www.thunder-cove.com/in Deadwood. This is my 1st time. How is Deadwood to stay in, anyone heard of or stayed here, any other advise for a 1st timer nubie?

Have not stayed in Deadwood, been there. I enjoy Rapid. RApid is a little more "relaxed" in the evenings than Deadwood, IMO.

I didn't have many choices, most places were booked already. So I/we booked a place with everything unknown. So I have heard now that I won't get much sleep in Deadwood. This place is a mile out of town though???
