10/10 Exceptional

We booked our family trip on Aug 17-21. First day was an Amazing to welcome us with a great smile with the front desk lady, after a 14 hour of straight driving , that is a welcoming gesture out there! ..and 'till we checked out. Good and friendly staffs. Convenient , clean and affordable place to stay. Contenental breakfast was unfullfilled, but all good as long as there is a new brewed coffee.

Average place..

It was an average stay, the place was not extremely anything. Central to the town, close to many things, the lady who checked us in was nice. Older place.
Lisa, 1-night trip

Lane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very good place in a warm little town.

We knew this hotel for previous stays. Very good, but the gym is still minimum, not worthy, and even one machine (of two) is broken. And the pool is not any more, despite it figures in the propaganda. The breakfast is good, the beds are nice and the employees are EXTRA kind.
J, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good value for money and great location. 30 mins from Mt Rushmore and iron Mountain road.
Anand, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very basic

This hotel was sufficient for what we needed...a place to sleep for a night. Very dated and run down feeling. Definitely not worth the over $200 for one night we paid but with the bike rally in Sturgis starting it was expected.
Bryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean, comfortable room, centrally located in Custer. Could do a better job with the breakfast and snacks, but I was impressed with what I got for the price.
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Broken bed

Bed was broken. Reported broken the next morning and was told it was fixed when arrived back. Linens was on floor. Requested new linens and housekeeping was gone. Front desk replaced linen and in the process bed has broken again. Requested a new room and was given.

Stairs a small parking lot and a little run down
julie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This was a place to sleep, the bathroom had what looked like black mold on the ceiling and a sign on the door that said not to shower with the door open because it would set off the smoke alarm! The beds were fair. We got some sleep but don’t think I would ever stay here again. Also the town literally closes down by like 9 - 10 p.m. so eat early and get snacks.
Paula, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The staff was either unfriendly or stressed when we checked in. The pool was unavailable, so we were given a pass to go to another pool in the area, and although that was nice, it was iinconvenient. Breakfast time ends at 9, and all other places we have traveled have been 9:30 or 10, so we didnt eat..
Elaine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place to stay the night
Angel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location.
Marty, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel was clean and rooms comfortable. My only real issue was with the EV chargers. Both chargers had issues. I could get the Tesla charger work at all. The other charger worked intermittently. The chargers were the primary reason I chose this hotel, so that was kind of a bust.
Todd, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice stay right in town. Very walkable to restaurants and shopping.
