Top Custer Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Custer/Crazy Horse Area

Super 8 by Wyndham Custer/Crazy Horse Area

8/10 Good
"I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past few years. The hot tub is great after long days hiking at Custer State Park. The staff was mixed. Some were more helpful than others who required prompting to be helpful. The cleanliness is up to my expectations but if you’re looking for floors & rooms in pristine condition you’d likely not be satisfied. For me, I need a roof over my head, a hot tub, & a place within a close proximity to Sylvan Lake. All in all it’s a good value for the stay, I would recommend & fully expecting to stay here again on future visits."

Gold Camp Cabins

Gold Camp Cabins

8/10 Good
"The cabin was really cute. Homey and quaint. A true log cabin. There was a pond behind it and trees to separate us from the cabin next door. Beds were good, and the kitchen had coffee fixings and a refrigerator. Loved the fire ring and provided wood overlooking the small pond, even though we didn’t get to use it because of the dry conditions. My only complaint, and it is the same with all properties, is that you don’t get a true perspective of the area around the cabins. Especially in more remote places, where google earth isn't that helpful. I wanted a cabin in the woods, or other remote area. From the pictures it looks that way. However, it is right off a main road and not really remote. However, it isn’t in a parking lot, nor it is near a highway. That happens more times, than not, when I have to pick a cabin in someplace I have never been. Wish we could go back to real, accurate pictures like we used to get."
