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.

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.

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.

The property is dated. A lot of noise from other rooms. I found the whole process of acquiring from necessities complicated.
But above all the purported “Feel good cafe”, is really just a gas station breakfast. Great name though.

Stay at this hotel!!! My niece said, “ awwww do we have to go.” Rooms were nice but best part was basketball court and pickleball area. Our family spent several hours outside enjoying the sports equipment. The outdoor pool was refreshing and there was also an indoor one we did not have time to use. Very pleasant decor with lots of cute touches. A breakfast place right next door for the morning with good coffee. Would stay here again in a heart beat.

Very clean, it gives a boutique hotel feel, a lot of attention to detail. I love all the flowers and flower baskets. Staff was very friendly and we were able to do laundry for free as well. The restaurant is very cute including the to-go containers, breakfast sandwich and coffee drink were tasty as well. Will definitely stay again and recommend other to stay as well

My wife picked the Inn and I was not impressed. The one positive aspect about the in is it’s dog friendly policy. The room was a tad bit musty for me and bathroom was outdated. The drive to town was short.

It's a charming and inviting inn. It has a very European look. The staff is so friendly and there are so many amenities not always found at a typical establishment.

Check in guy was polite. The place is very noisy as there’s no carpeting or drapes to absorb the noise, contemporary to the point of almost stark
Morning of departure no coffee & attendant was not there, when she did arrive she apologized & suggested I walk across the road to eat I assume is a sister motel to get coffee. Everyone paid a lot of $ to stay here.
Better suggestion - she should have gone across the street to get coffee for the guest
Also a table only one chair

This was the first time staying here, even though we make frequent trips to the Black Hills. We were pleasantly surprised by our room, which reminded me of a cottage style interior. Loved the double doors with the blinds and the decor and the beds just everything really.
This will become our new go to hotel whenever we revisit the Black Hills! Absolutely love it.

We absolutely loved our 3-day stay at the Bavarian Inn! Our family of five stayed in a room with 3 Queen beds, and while the decor was a bit dated, the room was clean and very spacious. The on-site café was perfect for breakfast each morning. The location is fantastic, with easy access to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, and more. Highly recommend!

Room was small but well appointed. Bed was comfortable. No daily housekeeping but can easily request needed items. Very close to Custer and possibly walkable. Best indoor pool we have experienced…clean, not humid, and warm. Cookies and milk! Outdoor play area including basketball and pickle ball! Lots of outdoor area to walk around. 2 EV chargers on site. Staff responsive. Laundry equipment with free detergent. Cable TV. No workout room but a track in the back. We enjoyed our 3-night stay very much

Beautiful location along with amazing service and options. Plenty of things to do at the location like the pool, and hot tub open until 10 at night. Life size chess and connect four. There's a cafe on site as well open until 11am that has great options for good prices.
8.0
We spent two nights here and loved it. The amenities and location really made this the perfect stay. The room was rather small for the price & was hot even with the AC on full blast. However I do understand it’s a tourist area and everything else was perfect!
