If you plan on visiting Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer State Park, then the Chief Motel is nice place to stay. The rooms are very clean, the prices are reasonable, and you are within walking distance to a few restaurants, and few other places of interest. more

Loved the comfy beds, plenty of towels! Clean Room! Nice people. The park pass was wonderful! The breakfast tickets were a nice plus. The place for the breakfast tickets they give you is like a block or so away, and we ate there for dinner as well. Food was good. It was a very busy weekend when we stayed and... more

If you are looking for a nice clean place to stay, stay here. Our room was extremely clean with plenty towels. The staff was completely helpful with information on the must see. Keep in mind it is the old style park in front of your room mote (one story)l, but it is has been kept in good repair. If we... more

This motel was a real find! The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. The beds were very comfortable. Also, there is a wonderful indoor extra long heated pool with a nice hot tub and jacuzzi. Above all, the owners were very friendly and helpful! more

Big room - large enough for two couples travelling together. Clean and comfortable and with your own designated parking space. Staff friendly and extremely helpful. Good location in centre of Custer with two very good restaurants just next door. Enjoyed the pool, sauna and hot tub. more

This is not a fancy place, but it's clean and we were quite comfortable here. We got a 2br suite so our 8 year old could sleep separately from us and it worked out well. The kids also enjoyed the indoor pool and we liked being walking distance from the restaurants and shops in town. They also gave us a... more

this motel was very accomodating and nice. when our teenager decided she wanted to come at the last minute, the owners were able to help us find an unexpected solution when switching rooms was not an option(no vacancy during peak time). upon arrival, we were given the Custer "postcard tour," which was priceless. the room we had was more than... more

They know they are the #1 rated motel in Custer and I think they jack up the price because of it. The rooms were clean, but had a slight musty odor. The TV was small (19in) with no premium channels. The room did have a small frig and a microwave. The worst part for us was the Wi-fi. We like... more

We didn't make reservations for Custer so when we pulled into town only the 'Motels' and 'Inns' had a handfull of rooms left open. We got the last room here for the night and it was clean - the beds comfortable - the staff friendly. If we had to, we'd stay here again. more

It was a great stay, we had 2 small children with us so we got the 2 room unit. It worked really well for our family, got to put the kids to bed and still have time to ourselves. The room was very clean, it is an older hotel, but they really try to maintain it. Lots of towels for... more
