Great stay as usual. Our go to spot in Custer. It was a very cold and breezy night, the room heater took some time to warm the room up. Looking forward to our next visit.

Rocket Motel is retro and so cute! I was doing the Lean Horse 100 mile running race and the motel was a short walk to the start line. The staff are all super nice and accommodating and I really just liked the overall vibe of the place. I stay at a lot of hotels for work and this was a nice break from the chain hotel feeling as it is locally owned , unique, and has very cool neon decor outside.

Owner run, clearly cares about the upkeep and the aesthetics of this retro mid-century motel. The room was in awesome condition, it felt newly built and tidy. I had a great stay and will stay here again should I return.
A great stay for a lone wanderer and caravans alike.

This is a cute little motel that has been renovated. The owners are very nice and the amenities they offer are top notch. We were right across from the Mickleson Bike trail and 1-2 blocks from all the restaurants.

This place is so cute! We ended up with a family room because there were singles available. It had a room with a queen bed and then a seperate room with two full size beds. The bathroom was between them. Main room had a little fridge and microwave. The bathroom was retro but very clean and kept. Loved it. It was a bit of a tight squeeze between the sink and the shower to get in but doable.

Clean, easy no frills

We discovered this little gem about 10 years ago. Whenever we are in Custer, The Rocket Motel is our first choice. The only thing I would like different, would be the temp controls in the room. Hard to manage. Would love the option to run a fan to muffle outside noise. Otherwise a wonderful place to stay

Rocket Motel Rules! Super clean and friendly.

The owner lied to me about making a change in the reservation causing me to pay for a night we did not stay at the motel. Dishonest despite the fact they have a “Jesus” sign on their front door.
2.5
The cleanliness at this cute motel was top notch. Everything was pristine. The decor was 1950’s style and worked well. It was a chilly night (woke up to frost of the car windows). Our room temperature was 55 F., a good sleeping temp but too cold for a morning shower. The heat apparently wasn’t on yet.

Some of the parking areas can be a little awkward for a motorcycle but the overall experience is worth it. We would stay here again. Nice walking distance to area shopping and eating.

The Retro refurbishment brought back memories of my youth.

The app told me I had already paid so when I was confused by the owner asking for payment he got ANGRY with me immediately and berated me. I called customer service and turned out the problem was with the app but the damage had been done because of his treatment of me for just being confused. I wasn’t accusatory or anything. Then I had to spend time trying to talk him into being calm with me. If anywhere else had had rooms I would’ve left. As it was we did leave a night early. My husband went to check us out cause no way I was going back into that office. He told my husband no refunds when my husband didn’t ask for one. And then he added some $20 fee on top of the $491 we had already paid. So we spent 2 nights instead of 3 for $500. And the room was TINY. Bathroom door very squeaky so I had to position it in a way I could get in and sit on the toilet in the night without waking up my husband. It was difficult. The shower is only warm if you turn the hot on all the way with no cold at all. Rooms have regular keys and face the outside so very insecure. And the guy keeps your CC info on a handwritten card with the full number. It’s in the front office and he doesn’t stay in there so anyone could walk in and take them. Would never stay again.
