Clean Room, Kind Staff!

The rooms we stayed in were exceptionally clean and the staff were very friendly! We rode our bikes here through the rain and they offered us some towels to wipe them off so we could potentially bring them in the room. We ended up wanting to secure them outside, so they let us put them behind the building. Staff was great here and I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms. I would definitely stay here again!

Nothing, it was perfect!

Quaint Retro Motel

Very clean. Super friendly staff. Easy to walk to a restaurant.

It took me a minute to figure out the heater but it wasn't a big deal.

Don was an amazing host, we thoroughly enjoyed interacting with him and our conversations. The pride of ownership is evident in this motel, the property is extremely well taken care of and the rooms were spotless and very clean. The rooms were well equipped as well with a decent sized mini-fridge and microwave. The location is central to many great restaurants and shops. The coffee and tea in the morning was excellent as well. Highly recommend this local gem when staying in Custer, you won't be disappointed!

Nothing comes to mind, we had a very positive experience staying at the Rocket Motel.

Custer was close to several attractions and had a fun shopping district.

The owners were wonderful. They gave us suggestions for places to eat and told us if we mentioned Rocket Motel we would get a discount. The motel was immaculate, mattress was comfortable, and the location was great. At one point, one of the owners was vacuuming the parking lot and they had someone hose down the exterior entrances due to dust. A retro stay with modern comforts.
