I was enchanted by Bavarian Inn's European breakfast! After a week on the road, I'm so sick of the waffles, pastries, microwaved sausages, and instant scrambled eggs I get everywhere else. Seriously, are you guys going somewhere I don't know about? Places with cooked to order, full-service breakfasts? I don't think so! This may seem unconventional to Americans used to... More

The staff is great and the continental breakfast is good (reminded me of authentic breakfast in Germany). But everything else is yuck. Our room was old and creaky. I am usually not snooty about hotel rooms, but this was yucky. If I were to stay here again, I would not pay more than thirty bucks a night for this room.... More

Amber H says she stayed her in Dec 2011, we are CLOSED Nov 15. every year! If Amber H indeed stayed with us and had a "Yucky" room, we would have upgraded her to a deluxe room or given her a full refund, no questions asked. We realize that we can't make everyone happy but if we know there is... More

I remember the Bavarian Inn as being moderately expensive considering the facilities. It was night already and getting colder and I was on a motorcycle so I grabbed the first place I saw. The "free breakfast" they offer at the restaurant next-door consists of hard boiled eggs and some pastry and juice.

We stayed in the Jacuzzi King Suite on the second floor. Very clean, bed was comfortable, and it had everything we needed, including a microwave and fridge. We are used to staying in chain hotels when we travel and so expected the little soap, shampoo, and such that are offered. Thankfully we had some with us and didn't need it.... More

Couldn't have asked for a better hotel. Came in at 9pm to check on a price, got a room for $55.00 and had great service. Room was very clean, pool and hot tub were well maintained. And the breakfast was excellent! Much better then a chain hotel. If you stay here, you won't be dissappointed!

Travelling cross country (returning to our Chicago home from San Francisco) 28 years ago with 2 young boys and a young Westie we were so delighted with the Bavarian Inn that we rescheduled the rest of our trip and spent an extra night so that we could swim in the pool, go horseback riding nearby and visit the local attractions....

This motel is in a great central location to tour the Black Hills. Our room was not fancy, but clean and comfortable and very homey. The front office staff could not be more friendly or helpful. It is so much better than the chain motels. The free continental breakfast had a very German theme and was more than adequate. We... More

The Bavarian Inn starts out with a perfect location -- just north of Custer in the heart of the Black Hills.. It is in the center of an awesome cluster of exciting things to see and do, like Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park and various caves. The German cuisine in the onsite restaurant is outstanding (try the rouladen). The free... More

Our guests found the Bavarian Inn very accomodating. They have a condo that was very nice and one's guests could gather there & visit. Everything was there that you needed such as a kitchen, bathrooms, & bedrooms. The livingroom & the dining room were spacious. It is a nice clean place. The price is reasonable. They provide a nice continental... More

There is a German resturant on site, swimming pool, gift shop, Free german breakfast and lovely grounds. It is close to Custer Park and the down town area.
