Great value and location

Loved staying here in June. The staff was friendly and made sure I knew everything the place had to offer. Check in and out were a breeze. Especially loved the possibility of free laundry and the other perfect amenities available. The place was perfect for an morning or evening stroll. It was situated perfectly to many great areas including Custer State Park, Sylvan Lake, Mount Rushmore, and Wind Cave National Park. Even Badlands National Park wasn't a bad drive away. While it definitely is an older establishment, I feel like they've done well in keeping it fresh and clean. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Custer.

The inn is super cute and very close to Custer. Easy to get to many attractions such as Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Needles Hwy etc. The staff was very friendly. Fiona was extra nice and very helpful at check in. There is an indoor and outdoor pool that are very well kept and a hot tub. Games around the property, swing set, workout bars and rings and a tennis court. The cafe next door was a great place for a quick breakfast. The room had a fridge and microwave, coffee maker, hairdryer and shampoos, soaps etc. The shower water pressure was slightly weak and the WiFi was as well. Overall a great place to stay and we highly recommend it.
