Top Custer Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Custer by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean comfortable room and bed"

Grandma's House in the Woods, 3/4 mile to Custer

10/10 Excellent

"Once again, my husband and I had a great stay in Custer, SD for the second year. Grandma’s House is a fantastic place to stay. Vicki is a fantastic host. She is a great communicator and very concerned that her guests have a pleasant visit. The location is spectacular whether you are sightseeing at Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse or anything else or is you just want to hang out and relax. We travel with our two black labs and there is a beautiful back woods for us to walk with them early in the morning and in the evening for them to burn off some energy."
