I liked how I was able to park right in front of my room. I got a pet friendly room and being on the first floor was very easy for pet access. Staff was very friendly, room was clean. Traveled with my son alone and felt safe here.

Really enjoyed staying here, everyone was so nice (guests and staff!) and location was great. The bed was comfortable but I do wish it had a comforter or something to make it a bit cozier.

Staff was friendly, breakfast was good. Everything in the room worked great. Only complaint was that the room smelt like body odor, and toiletries hadn’t been replaced.

Enrico, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean cozy room, tiny bathroom, so small that the sink was outside. Easy to find and next to several restaurants. Plenty of parking, can park right in front of room door. Decent breakfast but the selection was very limited in terms of selection. Friendly staff.

8/10 Very good

Room was located down in one exclusive quiet and cold corner. Bath room was roomy but with noisy fan going on when light was not turned off. Continental breakfast was ok with some nutritional choice.

Custer is a small town but BW is large, great comfortable rooms, easy check in, friendly staff, great pool,
Bradley, 1-night trip

I would have given 5 stars on cleanliness except for the accumulated dust and dirt in the floor corners in the bathroom. Not good for my allergies.
