Good location in a great little town. The room was clean, the A/C and the TV worked, the staff was helpful and friendly, and we had a little refrigerator in the room which came in handy for water and snacks. The lobby was pleasant and there were enough tables for everyone at breakfast. They had at least one laundry room... More

The location of this hotel is ideal. It is within walking distance of Custer's main street shopping/dining area, which was nice for the days when the ladies wanted some retail therapy and the men wanted to do something different. Also within walking distance are the Flintstones theme park and a miniature golf course. It is very near Jewel Cave as... More

You can not best this location. Mt Rushmore is so close as is Custer State Park etc... The hotel is kept very clean. People working are very nice and helpful. The rooms are large and comfortable. The breakfast is served from 6.30am giving you an early start and its not bad. Once breakfast is over the breakfast area is opening... More

This is a very nice hotel in an area where most places are not so nice and new. It was very clean and I liked that the breakfast area is very large to accomodate all the tourists each morning. The front desk staff is very nice and seem proud to work there. The fitness room is very basic, but I... More

We stayed recently at the Holiday Inn Express in Custer, SD based largely on the good reviews we read on various sites. While the hotel had many nice amenities (pool, free internet, free breakfast) and a great mountain setting and location, overall it didn't quite meet our expectations. First off, the breakfast was pretty bland and even a little cold.... More

This is a great hotel if you are going to Mt. Rushmore. Rooms are nice, property is clean, and the front staff is very helpful. They can't stop the kids from running down the hall, too bad their parents can't take care of them. Breakfast is a typical Holiday Inn Express: cereal, coffee, toast. I would stay away from the...

Nice nice nice. Spiffy clean and super helpful staff. By far best chain hotel we stayed at. Custer is tiny and rolls up the sidewalks at night so there's not much in the way of restaurants and things to do but staff recommended the captains table restaurant across the street for a nice steak and it was excellent. Breakfast always... More

We stayed here for five nights the end of May. The hotel seems fairly new, was clean, and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and had four pillows two soft and two firm. We stayed in a double queen room which included a fridge. We did not think the larger room with a loveseat was worth another 20-30 per night.... More

Stayed here for a couple nights while walking Crazy Horse and touring. This is one of the best Holiday Inn Express properties we have used. The breakfast buffet is outstanding for this genre. Big room, comfortable lobby, and very friendly staff.
