Top Custer Hotel Reviews

Bavarian Inn Black Hills

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was amazing"

Chief Motel

8/10 Good

"The motel was in a great location- close to restaurants, bars, and in the main drag in Custer. We visited the hot tub nearly every night and had it all to ourselves, which was quite nice. Beds were better than most and room was clean. It’s an older property but maintained. Everything worked, but the ac was loud and one person showering used up most of the hot water. It was nice having the ability to park near the room. Bruce was friendly and helpful at check in. The only negatives were that we were awoken at 5am by a truck backing up. I believe it may have been a garbage truck at the property next door. Fortunately that only happened once during our 4 day stay. Also the parking area on the side of the property is pretty narrow and one day there was a landscaping truck making it interesting to park our vehicle. I would recommend this motel to travelers based on our experience. I would also stay here again."

New Black Hills Home Next to Wind Cave National Park

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here! We vacationed with extended family and the home worked our great for all of our needs. The location is a bit out in the sticks but a short walk to Wind Cave National Park where we saw so many bison and prairie dogs, and a short drive (20 minutes) to Custer State Park. The host thought of everything as far as extra amenities and the check out process was one of the easiest when compared to other places we have stayed. I would definitely recommend!"
