Great location that is central to all activities in the area. Beds were comfortable and hotel was clean. Breakfast was edible but same thing every day got old after 5 days.
Check in was easy. My room was conveniently located. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very quiet and I had a restful stay. I would highly recommend this hotel.
Room was nice and clean. Good hot breakfast. Pretty setting.

Custer is situated nicely between the number of day trips we took. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were busy refilling containers and helpful with a smile. The lady at the front desk on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was very friendly. We really liked the layout of the room. Plenty of space for two suitcases and other bags.
