  : Great location close to Mt Rushmore! The park is only about a 6 minute drive away. Stayed here 1 night in mid June to get an early start at Mount Rushmore the following morning. I got a great deal online for a one night stay. This is the closest motel to Mt Rushmore, and one of the cheapest in the whole Custer area. It was a good value for just over $100/night. Very friendly reception. Easy check in and out. Clean, large room with 2 queen beds. Furniture was dated, but ok.   Average room and bed comfort for a budget friendly motel in the mid west. Mini fridge in room, but no microwave, which was fine for the price. Hot water, coffee, and a community microwave were available in the lobby 24/7. I think a few items are offered for breakfast, but we left too early to check it out. Elevator (not common in motels in the mid west). Location was great! About a 4 min walk to the Borglum Museum and the outdoor wood chipping/carving art company, Dahl's. We walked another 4 min or so to a small, well-lit strip of stores and restaurants lining both sides of the street. Also close to adventure centers and the 1880's train depot. Coin operated laundromat near the gas station next door. All in all, it was a very adequate budget stay conveniently close to Mt Rushmore. When you book the cheapest room in town, you shouldn't expect amenities or modern decor. But the value for a 1-2 night stay can't be beat.
  : Nothing major. Nothing you wouldn't already expect from a budget stay. The carpet throughout in the room was old and worn. The elevator and hallway carpets were dingy and smelled dirty. The room itself was a little musty, but better with the A/C on.  The towels were small and rough (very common in mid west hotels). Thin walls. I could hear muffled conversations and kids crying.
