My Mom and I were traveling to the Black Hills this past fall and needed a clean, inexpensive, safe place to stay for 6 nights. After doing my homework on tripadvisor.com, I decided upon The Rocket Motel because of the good reviews. We were not disappointed! The managers were brand new and very accomodating-even to the point of offering to... more

We stayed at the Rocket Motel on the 4th of July and had a wonderful stay. We truly wish we could have stayed longer. The woman at the front desk could not have been nicer. We arrived in the morning to see if we could check in early as we were not planning on being back at the motel until... more

I used this motel as a base for a four day hiking/biking/sight seeing trip in the Black Hills. I have stayed in many newer more modern motels on business trip (Hampton Inns, Hyatts, ect) and if that is the experience you are lookin for then this is not for you. However, since i spend the majority of my visits to... more

Just got home from Custer. We went to the Buffalo Roundup. We stayed here at the Rocket. The managers are WONDERFUL People. They go way beyond the normal managers of a Hotel. Brenda (the manager) got up at 4:00am to make coffee for all the guest before they had to leave to go to the roundup.Don (manager)made sure I had... more

My wife and I , along with another couple recently completed a 250 KM bicycle tour of the Black Hills of South Dakota on the George Mickelson Trail. We spent a night at the Rocket and would highly recommend it. The beds were new, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was one of the cleanest I have ever seen in a... more

We have stayed at the Rocket for many years since 1963 and found it to be the best value in custer. Glenda and her dog always made us feel at home. Rooms are spotless and bathrooms are VERY CLEAN due to Glenda's attention to detail no doubt. I would not hestitate to take my Grandmother there so we all understand... more

We spent 5 nights at the Rocket Motel (after spending 2 nights at another location in Custer). Great place to stay, rooms were clean (you noticed this as soon as you walked in), great "base camp" for seeing the sites around Custer, plus we were given a discount for staying so many nights. Would stay there again in the future. more

Although we had a smaller room the first night, the motel manager, Glenda, gave us a larger room for the second night. It was definitely worth the move as it had two doubles and one single bed and much more room. We had only planned on staying at the Rocket two nights, but Glenda was so helpful with our travel... more
