Don was an amazing host, we thoroughly enjoyed interacting with him and our conversations. The pride of ownership is evident in this motel, the property is extremely well taken care of and the rooms were spotless and very clean. The rooms were well equipped as well with a decent sized mini-fridge and microwave. The location is central to many great restaurants and shops. The coffee and tea in the morning was excellent as well. Highly recommend this local gem when staying in Custer, you won't be disappointed!
Nothing comes to mind, we had a very positive experience staying at the Rocket Motel.

Old school aesthetic. A block from all major sights in downtown Custer. Short drives to all major attractions.

Very friendly owners. Was fun to hear about their experience with Elon Musk in 2014 that resulted in the model getting a Level 2 Tesla charger.

Great little place
My only complaint is the pillows. They’re very high and hard, but that’s personal preference.

The owners were wonderful. They gave us suggestions for places to eat and told us if we mentioned Rocket Motel we would get a discount. The motel was immaculate, mattress was comfortable, and the location was great. At one point, one of the owners was vacuuming the parking lot and they had someone hose down the exterior entrances due to dust. A retro stay with modern comforts.
