We booked our family trip on Aug 17-21. First day was an Amazing to welcome us with a great smile with the front desk lady, after a 14 hour of straight driving , that is a welcoming gesture out there! ..and 'till we checked out. Good and friendly staffs. Convenient , clean and affordable place to stay.
Contenental breakfast was unfullfilled, but all good as long as there is a new brewed coffee.

Great location for a few days stop in Custer. 20 minutes drive to Black Elk and Sylvan Lake. 5 minute walk to restaurants, brewery, shops. The room was fresh and clean, the AC was loud but didn't need it at night, and the bed was really comfortable. The staff was great! Friendly and helpful. I used the laundry room which was clean and everything worked well. Parking was easy and the whole area is very safe and quiet at night, even with the bikers in town for Sturgis. Would stay again!

The hotel is on main street near shopping and restaurants. We parked our car and walked everywhere. The breakfast is really nothing to write home about. However, there are breakfast restaurants close by. The rooms are dated but since the location is great, we didn't really mind. The biggest drawback is there is no elevator. Would stay here again for confience sake.

The breakfast waffles are not the kind you make yourself; they are the dry, tasteless toaster version. The rest of the breakfast offerings were minimal. In the room, the air conditioner is designed to be at floor level. Instead it is placed above your head, with the controls facing the ceiling. To adjust, you need to stand on a chair and use a flashlight. I never understand why breakfast must close at exactly 9 am when the check out isn't until 11. We're on vacation; no need to get up early. Would not stay there again.

Average place..

It was an average stay, the place was not extremely anything. Central to the town, close to many things, the lady who checked us in was nice. Older place.

The property itself was good, slapped in the middle of downtown Custer, the issue was the staff, they kept calling me about random stuff, at first it was Ok but then it just started to get annoying.

If you plan on riding the Mickelson Trail, the Econo Lodge is a perfect location thats very convenient. They prepared hard boiled eggs on the morning of our rides.

The staff was very nice and friendly. The only negatives were the lack of an elevator and the dirty carpets in the hallway, but breakfast was good. The hotel is near a shopping center, stores, and restaurants.

The staff was either unfriendly or stressed when we checked in.
The pool was unavailable, so we were given a pass to go to another pool in the area, and although that was nice, it was iinconvenient.
Breakfast time ends at 9, and all other places we have traveled have been 9:30 or 10, so we didnt eat..

Hotel was clean and rooms comfortable. My only real issue was with the EV chargers. Both chargers had issues. I could get the Tesla charger work at all. The other charger worked intermittently. The chargers were the primary reason I chose this hotel, so that was kind of a bust.

This was a place to sleep, the bathroom had what looked like black mold on the ceiling and a sign on the door that said not to shower with the door open because it would set off the smoke alarm! The beds were fair. We got some sleep but don’t think I would ever stay here again. Also the town literally closes down by like 9 - 10 p.m. so eat early and get snacks.

Clean rooms and premises, quiet and friendly front desk - specifically Cathy who was cheerful and accommodating. Only negative feedback is that someone was vacuuming near midnight that woke us up. Easy drive to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Jewel Cave in a cute little town.One of the better Econolidges and would recommend.
