Convenient to shopping and some restaurants in Custer, BUT it was inconvenient to get our belongings upstairs without an elevator. The room was tight, and I felt the springs in the mattress. The check in woman was non-welcoming… she gave info only when asked, nothing was volunteered except that “the ONLY way to get inside the building was the front door.” The luggage cart had 2 flat tires, so it was difficult to maneuver, and we could only take our things to the stairs on the cart, then lug them upstairs by hand. The breakfast was all cold choices. A tour bus was getting ready to load up, so there were people who were not eating in the breakfast area… just taking up seats and standing around waiting. We would not stay there again.

Goon value for the money. The staff were very a tentative and polite. The property is a bit rough on the fine stuff and the breakfast could definitely use some additions. It does meet the definition of a continental breakfast but is not a crowd pleaser.

Staff tried to be very accommodating.I filled out the preregistration and requested a room on the first floor. They said they never got the request so I had to start all over. We had to drag our luggage up the stairs. Extremely difficult for older people. We had to request items like toilet paper and klenex for our room.Our room keys never worked and we were constantly having to get the keys reprogrammed.The breakfast bar was crowded with a a very poor selection of breakfast items. It was poor enough to where we always went out to breakfast some where else. I will never stay at this hotel again!

The room was clean enough and sufficient. The kids were disappointed that the pool was out of order. I did not care to be on the second floor as they do not have an elevator. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

When we arrived I was told my reservation was for 1 room not the 2 I had booked. As the reservation was booked thru Expedia there was nothing the hotel could do. I had the itinerary # but not the hotel’s confirmation # and the itinerary # was meaningless to the hotel. Luckily they had rooms available. For the rest of our trip we either spoke directly to the hotels or went thru the hotel website. In the room we had, the bed was broken. There was no elevator. The bedding was not clean. The bathroom was clean.

Fantastic
So much better than expected. The cons: no elevator for those that may need it. Thats it. The breakfast was muffins, ygurt, toast, jelly, juice fruit. Coffee, hot chocolate. Well stocked. We sat outside at one of the patio tables and really enjoyed the wonderful weather. This is a no smoking place. However, they are not discriminating toward smokers. There are a few places with the butt collectors, lol, wherr you can smoke and not bother anyone while being comfortable and enjoying yourself. I appreciate that. Check in was smooth, the three staff memebers i met at different times of day were each friendly, smiled, and helpful. You can walk the sgops and eateries that are literally right there, gas station across street. Centrally located to all the sights. The room was good sized, had very comfortable beds, which is very important to my back. The bathroom is narrow, but shut the door and it is very sufficient. Hot water with decent pressure. Separate sink area. Had shampoo, conditioner, lotion. Good clean towels. Room had a fridge and coffee maker. The microwave is located downstairs, where there is coffe round the clock as well. This is a 2 story hotel. Would definitely stay here again. Was a little nervous because you never know how a place is going to be. Very pleasantly surprised. Very very safe area.

The room was clean, staff friendly, good location. My only complaints are: the smoke detector in the hallway constantly chirped because of low batteries and the exhaust fan in our room's bathroom was horrendously noisy and sounded like it was on its last leg.
