Top 6 Motels in Custer, United States

April 22, 2023 Rosalyn Ihle

Enveloped in the grandeur of the Black Hills, Custer makes the perfect base for your South Dakota vacation, whether you are visiting Custer State Park to learn about Custer's Last Stand, heading up to see the wonder of Mount Rushmore and the yet-unfinished Crazy Horse Memorial, making a motorcycle pilgrimage to Sturgis or spelunking in Wind Cave. Custer itself has much to offer, from family outings at Flintstones Bedrock City to hoe-down dinners at a chuck wagon cookout.

The staff was so friendly and explained everything. The location was perfect and the room was clean. They have a laundromat of doing a lot of traveling! The breakfast Inn was amazing, and the staff there were so friendly and welcoming. The food was good and they have a kiosk to order food so you don’t have to wait in line. Totally recommend

Price quote versus price billed

Reviewed By Oscar K

3 night Quoted: $153.99 Charged: $373.89 I asked twice when I was told the original quote, and was “assured” this was the total amount. I was told at checkout that I couldn’t get a receipt because it was direct billed to CLC. THEN, CHARGED WAY MORE THAN QUOTED! I would and could have stayed at Holiday Inn Express next door for the amount I was charged at motel 8. I simply don’t like being told one thing and delivered another!

Reviewed By Marcia B

Bruce and Nancy were the best hosts. The rooms were wonderful. Very clean and pleasantly decorated. Smelled fresh and clean, and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely recommend to others, and would stay there again! There was no breakfast, but that's ok. Close to downtown area, but pretty quiet.

Good place, good price

Reviewed By Michael S

We booked on Hotels.com, and knew what we were getting ourselves into. This is not luxury by any stretch, but a good place to stay and very close to all the action. They were priced better for a 3 night stay than most other places...and very close to Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, and Custer State Park. This place is dated, but everything worked, and it was fairly comfortable. The bad...could smell smoke in the hallways going to get ice; not the cleanest place in the world {but not terrible}; & the parking!! The lot they have is VERY small, not made to fit all the cars for the hotel's capacity. There is parking across the street by the courthouse and park...and if you have a larger vehicle...that's where you should park. There's also street parking behind the hotel on Washington street...1/2 block from the hotel. Would probably stay here again, but there's other options out there. Pro-Tip...the gas station across the street from the hotel is convenient but just a little bit to the South West are more gas stations with better pricing [odd cash price vs. credit price at some of those "Downtown" gas stations (Exxon station did not do that)].
