Top Custer Hotel Reviews

Bavarian Inn Black Hills

8/10 Good

"Very family-friendly location in the Black Hills. Property has indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, pickle-ball court, swing set and laundry room. Although the room decor is outdated, the room itself was clean and comfortable. On-site cafe offers breakfast items for purchase. Location is 5 minute drive from downtown Custer and near Mt. Rushmore, national and state parks."

Rocket Motel

8/10 Good

"Clean small rooms in a very old hotel but everything was well maintained and it was super cheap"

Best Western Buffalo Ridge Inn

8/10 Good

"It all depends on what level of quality you want , this place is ok."

EverSpring Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great overnight stay. Fairly basic hotel, but the rooms were roomy with comfortable beds and bathroom that had sink and mirror separate from toilet and shower, which I find convenient for a couple. Very hospitable and helpful staff, including a warm cookie upon arrival. Also had one of the better informal breakfasts I’ve had, with cheese omelet and wheat waffles. Very walkable to Main Street restaurants and brewery, along with convenience store next door. Deck and fire pit overlooked the countryside. The maintenance issues were an empty hand soap container in our room and broken ice machine. The night attendant quickly resolved both. Our floors were also squeaky and you could hear hallway noise a bit but no issue overnight."

Rushmore Express Keystone

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, Staff were helful, attentive to guest. Breakfast was just okay, very limited. Very close to Mount Rushmore, convennient visit the national monument. Room/hallway decoration were old style looked un-appeal."

Econo Lodge Custer - Crazy Horse Area

10/10 Excellent

"One quick overnight stay, but the property and room were clean. Appreciated the fridge and microwave in the room. Convenient stay for visiting Custer State Park and Mr. Rushmore. Would stay here again!"
