10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026

The motel was very clean and nicely updated with cool retro mid-century decor and vibes. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was great to charge our EV with a NACS(Tesla) charger. The room was nicely appointed, well maintained and one of the cleanest rooms we have encountered in our travels. We stayed in the large King suite and it was very nice to have the kitchenette and couch/seating area.

Parking was convenient but a little tight for our room at the front of property at the street entrance. Would be great to have rolls/bagels/fruit to go with the complimentary coffee in the cool retro lobby.

Great room at an affordable price. The staff(owners) are lovely and there is free coffee in the lobby until 10pm. The rooms were clean and comfortable!

Nothing.

We have stayed at this hotel for the past 2 years when we come to Custer for the Mickelson trail ride. The location is great to walk everywhere needed. The staff is very friendly.
