Room was clean, neat, and tastefully decorated. Quite modest in terms of size, furniture (couple of hard plastic chairs). Wifi was slow and spotty. Very charming retro feel, a truly unique property!

This place was great. I will stay here every time I'm in Custer. The room was really clean. The decor is very cute and well done. They have done a great job of updating an older hotel and making it fun.

Great location in Casper. You can walk anywhere and you also get 10% off your bill at a few restaurants by showing your room key. Its a cute retro motel that is super clean. Our beds were comfortable and we had a designated parking space in front of our room. Owners were great and had coffee in the lobby every morning.

Perfect location for spending time in Custer state park, going to Mount Rushmore, and shopping in Keystone. The room was cute, cozy, and came with a postcard of the motel. If I ever make it back to the black hills I would 100% stay here again.

Awesome stay, can't say enough good things about this Motel! It is located in the center of town with restaurants and local shops within walking distance. It is a mid-20th century roadside motel with period correct design elements. The rooms were the cleanest I have seen in a long time, small but very comfortable. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again on a return visit.
