Top Needles Eye Hotel Reviews

EverSpring Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was a great variety hot and cold and prepared and maintained. The room was clean and spacious. Great location to Mt Rushmore, Craxy Horse and Custer State Park."

Chalet Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a charming pet-friendly place to stay in Custer. An old-fashioned motel with individual "cabins" with everything you need-nothing fancy. They put out a grab and go breakfast of juices, yogurts, and muffins. The staff is great-friendly and helpful. Felt very welcome and safe. Right on the main road in Custer. Easy to walk to shops and restaurants. A great value for the price!"

Lodge at Palmer Gulch

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! Such a great place to stay for families! So many kids, so many activities. We stayed in the row cabin and it was great for 2 adults and 2 kids. It was clean and had everything we needed. As a heads up, there is little to no cell service or WiFi in a lot of areas, BUT you’re in the hills, so to me, that is to be expected and disconnecting was nice for all of us. We used both pools which were clean and nice, they were busy at times but it was in the 90s all weekend. We played multiple rounds of mini golf, enjoyed the glow stick party and movie night. Our son joined in multiple games of sand volleyball. So many fun activities. We had breakfast at the Prospectors Tent which was affordable, fast and delicious! We had multiple suppers at The Peak Grill and tried different things each time and all enjoyed our meals. We enjoyed ice cream at Turtle Town and coffee at Grapes and Grinds. The kids loved shopping for souvenirs at the stores. It’s a great location and easy to get around to see other areas of the Black Hills. All in all, it was a great trip and we’d love to come back!"
