6/10 Good

Okay, but not great
The property looks amazing in the photos and the exterior was very nice and the flowers were beautiful. The room appeared nice when we entered, but the overwhelming smell of fabreeze room fresher was almost more than we could deal with. After airing out the room a bit, we settled in. Went to take a shower and noticed brown spots on the floor near the sink and bathroom; when we used a wipe to clean them up, it smelled and looked like dog crap. Probably why the room had been so fabreezed. Very disappointed to discover the crap and made us wonder about the rest of the cleanliness of the room. It is a nice location and is quaint. Thin walls and floors so you hear most everyone else in the building. The only staff member that we encounted was friendly, but we were there on the last day the motel was open for the season.

Surprised in a good kind of way!
Older property that has been beautifully maintained. Very clean! Some nice touches like warm cookies and milk in the lobby in the afternoon. Did not use but 2 pools one inside and one outside. Walking path. Pickle ball courts. Free washer and dryer with detergent and softener. Will return.

Great hotel on outskirts of Custer We absolutely loved our stay, lots of extra touches, super comfy bed, lots of amenities, including outdoor pool, indoor pool and hot tub.Great place families with kids, outdoor games like cornhole, giant chess, connect 4, etc. Good shower pressure, room fridge that actually cools. Great gathering patios for larger families. Everything was super clean and well kept. Great location in black hills. Very nice and personal in front desk.

Our stay was delightful. We received a text prior to check-in and everything went smoothly when we arrived. Our room was really nice and very clean! The laundry basket was a nice touch. The bed and pillows were SUPER comfortable. The grounds were so well cared for and I loved all of the flowers. There were several dining options with a two-mile radius so I would say everything we needed was within walking distance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again sometime soon!

Everything was excellent, staff were nice and friendly but not easily accessible. Many extra amenities over chain hotels or motels!! Loved the added decorations and flowers everywhere. They also had a few food items that could be delivered to your room! Loved that they had a little notebook that you could fill out any items for cleaning staff to replace as well without having to call the front desk. A+++ place to stay! Only thing I would recommend is some kind of doorbell or buzzer when people come to the front desk because there was rarely anyone there to greet you for questions. If you call the main phone number someone will answer though.

Unique, breakfast restaurant with the hotel. Nice field, not a standard motel/hotel setting. Think it would be nice if not this hotel but all hotels would set aside rooms for people with pet allergies. Understand the economic argument, but we cater to no smoking, pets in rooms , no peanuts, All sorts of stuff like that but people with allergies need consideration.

This is by far the cutest hotel we have stayed at. I wanted something different and the pictures showed an English cottage style place. It did not dissapoint. Im sure in winter it will look a bit different but when we went they had hanging flowers, outdoor seating, tons of games and books which pur kids lived and the pool. The cafe was amazing and so cute. We stayed in a 2 bed room and it could have been better updated in the bathroom but we were not in the room much in the 4 days so it was fine however we will definitely be booking the latger room with 3 beds. The beds were comfortable and it was very quiety. All the staff were extremely kind and helpful. Its a couple minutes from downtown custer so super convenient but tucked away enough to be quiet and away from the hustle and bustle.

This place was beautifully decorated inside and out. Great price for amenities: indoor pool and hot tub area was huge and actually had towels stocked plus many games for kids throughout. Outdoor pool and pickle ball court was an added bonus!! Offered self service laundry facility and provided free detergent. The only thing to improve would be a bell at the front desk because there is rarely any one there. They are usually “in the back” and have to call the facility to speak with someone.

Henri was amazing! No energy drinks needed for her. However the other young lady who worked the counter was helpful but had no personality at all, didn't smile once. Young people, right? The cafe staff and service and food was great! We really enjoyed our 3 days stay at the Bavarian! We'd love to come back, some day.

This was a unique place which is what we wanted, not a chain hotel. Really close to Crazy Horse. We had a quick stay and weren't able to take advantage of the pool or patio with fun yard games. We opted for a room with a balcony which was really a bonus for having morning breakfast without going too far. There are stairs though to those rooms. The restaurant across the parking lot was convenient, but additional cost. We had our own food and ate on our balcony.
