We liked this hotel, had nice guys working. It was very clean. A good price. Around attractions that we saw the morning after. The breakfast was good and free. The shower stayed at the temperature we like. We were on our honeymoon and stayed at 7 different hotels. This was one of the top hotels we stayed at. Overall great!... More

This motel was not fully open yet, but the manager had a room cleaned and ready in under an hour. The lobby was recently renovated along with the breakfast area which had a wide variety of choices. The mattresses we had were brand new and the room was very clean.

Good, comfortable, no frills. Safe. The breakfast was decent, but we would have wished a little more variety. They tipped us off to the Crazy Horse Monument five minutes away, which was a highlight of our night there.

I don't know who took the pictures of this hotel but they are VERY misleading. It is old and run down. The manager parks where the patrons are supposed to pull into to check in. It had an odd smell. We asked for a first floor room and were told they were only given to senior citizens. I asked if... More

Free continental breakfast only included cereal, toast and juice (no hot items like waffles) and doesn't start until 7:00am. The front desk was very accommodating when we got there and found... More

The room was small, dark, more like a motel. It has some funny odor too. We should book hotel in Rapid CIty or pick another hotel from Custer. If you have small kids with you, they will sur-charge you $4 each kid per night which is unheard of. (most hotel allow kids 13 or younger to stay for free). I... More
