Brenda& Don were warm & welcoming. They were readily available to answer any questions we had. The rooms were very comfortable& had decorations with the theme of the Rocket motel! The rooms were spotless& I loved the big bath towels which were soft! The hot coffee& tea with half& half was appreciated in the morning. Everything was perfect! I would most definitely stay there again& highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Custer!
