Top Custer Hotel Reviews

Rushmore Express Keystone

10/10 Excellent

"Would’ve given all 5 star, but the breakfast wasn’t good. Besides that, everything was great."

Bavarian Inn Black Hills

10/10 Excellent

"I love the well maintained flower boxes everywhere, the hammocks, and most of all, the free laundry. We didn't have to pack soiled clothes or wet swimsuits. It's quiet too even if it was fully booked and less than a mile from the touristy shops of Custer. The staff was friendly, helpful, and by the looks of the place, highly efficient."

Comfort Inn & Suites Custer - Crazy Horse Area

8/10 Good

"Checking in at the front desk took a long time as the clerk was unable to move one of the rooms assigned due to the original room not being cleaned yet. I noticed cleaning staff sitting on their phones in rooms where the door was open. The carpet in room 211 needs cleaning, the refrigerator leaked water and the AC unit needs replacement. Beds and pillows were super comfy and the breakfast was good. Two doors exiting to patio were broken as we could not get back in when going out on the patio. A staffer said that the key pad entry was broken on both. The hot tub was Luke warm."

Rustic Rock Haven - Horses Welcome

10/10 Excellent

"We LOVED our time in this cabin. Deb and Dave are lovely hosts. They have adorable pugs that came to visit every morning, as well as puppies and kittens! What's not to love about that!? The location is off the beaten path and so peaceful and beautiful with cattle out front, a friendly steer we nicknamed Doug, a 2 mile hiking path, and a field filled with Elk the night we arrived! The air conditioner is a box unit in the window over the sink, but it kept the cabin cool so long as we left it on when we left for the day. Super great location. Just a 15-20 minute drive to Sylvan Lake with easy access to 16A which gets you to Iron Mountain Road, as well as the Wildlife Loop. We really loved our stay and will miss that spot of heaven."
