We visited Custer (Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse) in March. Everything was closed in Custer, except The Rocket, which is an old, classic style motel. The owner/manager opened very late at night to accommodate us. We had no reservation. He gave us great restaurant information and was very pleasant. Our room, was a two-bedrooms split by a bathroom. It was spotless.... More

Old, but has been maintained in excellent condition. Smallish rooms but well appointed. We had the 2 bedroom family unit - hallway and bathroom seperating the two bedroom areas. Good heating system. Only criticism was that the gap under one of the entrance doors allowed the cold winter air into the room - easily remedied on the night witha towel.... More

We rented two rooms and loved the place. Right after we arrived the rain started pouring and it was wonderful. The rooms were clean and neat. We are going back this year if they have vacancy. Maybe not because everyone that stays will return. The bedding felt so good and we slept as if in death. We walked to some... More

In combination with our car rental we were pleasantly surprised to find very nice accommodations. Many of the rooms have been redone and reflect the 50's theme very well along with modern conveniences. Rooms were clean and comfortable and the owners were very friendly and more than helpful. Pricing is attractive too.

This is an older motel but it sure has been updated. Very comfortable even though the rooms are a bit on the smaller side. Clean clean clean!!! Don and Brenda are most accommodating hosts and bend over backwards to make sure all is to your complete satisfaction. Walking distance to everything you need in Custer, and Great vaue for the...

Old and worn, but so comfy and familiar. This motel is on the main drag and in walking distance to everything in Custer. Check in was pleasant and we backed right up to our door. The room was tiny, but contained everything we needed. Desk area, fridg, microwave, huge TV and internet. The blanket was double sheeted and everything was... More

We are on a cross-country trip and have stayed in many chain hotels and others. This place, one of the few open all year in Custer, was just what we have been looking for. It reminds us of our childhood with modern conveniences, like wifi. The room was a bit small, but not bad at all, since we spent most... More

Thought we would try this little local motel out. The owner didn't seem very happy to be getting my business and was bad mouthing other guests in the parking lot while he was messing up my receipts. The room was clean like other reviews indicated, but the room was so small we had to walk sideways to get to the... More

FrOm the street looks like a motor court motel from 1950. But the owners have done a great job of remodeling the rooms and keeping them very clean. Great location, right main street of town Large king size comfy bed. Great hearing system as we came end of October No complaints
