The location is great, the room was huge and super clean, the office staff was really nice and easy to work with (we weren't arriving until after the office closed for the day and they left our key for us so we could still check-in). Parking was convenient - right outside your room, and the motel was quiet.

At $114 for the night, I wasn’t expecting much. However, it had good reviews on-line and the pictures looked inviting. Turns out, it was everything and more. The check was great, and the fellow at the front desk was VERY helpful and knowledgeable about the area. I was very surprised how clean the entire property was. The pool/spa area was spotless, and though it had some years on it, it has received top notch care. And the room… it was VERY clean! There were no odd smells or stains. I have been in hotel rooms that were 3 times more expensive, that were not as clean as this room. If you’re looking for a 5 star hotel, go else where. If you need a room for a night or five in a budget, this is a great option.

This was great little motel! Older, but clearly well maintained and well loved. Great pool for a quick dip on a hot day on our cross country journey. Close by ice cream and a good breakfast joint the next morning. Would for sure stay again.

Great check in with manager, very informative gave us some great tips about where to go in Custer and surrounding areas. We booked 2 room unit which was good for privacy however noisy air con and no window in 2nd room which was stuffy. great indoor pool close to everything Custer has to offer. Recommend for short stay!!
