Guest Reviews

• Diane (10/5): Retro motel in Custer - Updated retro vibe, this place has charm, wonderful hosts, spotlessly clean, comfortable, quiet. Nothing
• Lissa (10/5): Fantastic little motel - What a perfect motel, spotless, located perfectly in the middle of the high street and what an amazing friendly host, would highly recommend this place if you are looking to stay in the area Nothing at all
• Katherine (10/5): - Quaint retro motel with all necessary amenities! Great location 👌
• Lois (8/5): -
• Catherine (10/5): -
• Johana (10/5): - Tout était parfait merci Rien
• Ken (8/5): -
• Leslie (10/5): -
• Eric (10/5): Would stay again. - Loved the room. We stayed 2 nights. Quiet and peaceful. Very close to Mt Rushmore. The rooms have been restored beautifully. The only complaint would be the front door seal. There was a slight gap and when it was 28° it was drafty. Not that big of a deal as the heat worked well.
• Amanda (10/5): -
• sheldon (10/5): -
• SVMOOSE (2/5): I wanted to buy sleep; the Rocket failed... - The place was very clean and well-maintained. The Rocket Motel was built circa 1950. It is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. It is decorated n the Retro style, as suits its age. However, expectations and standards have changed over 75 years. The rooms are tiny by today’s standards. The original room would have not had a fridge…in my room the fridge, with its talking compressor was 4 feet from my head in bed. The heater is in the wall and has no thermostat…it produces a lot of heat, but its variable fan setting produces that heat constantly, making the room far too hot. With the heater turned off the bedding is inadequate for the March weather. In 1950 sound abatement in motels was less important than today. I had asked for a quiet room and, although only a handful of guests were in the 30 odd rooms, had a neighbor who snored, watched TV late, and mumbled in his sleep. The purpose of a motel is to sell sleep; The Rocket failed.
• Renee (7/5): - Liked the location, and room was clean. Did notlike the firefighters trucks starting their trucks up to my door and having diesel smell coming into my room that is why I had to leave my room early
• Anuj (10/5): -
• Beth (9/5): Cute, clean retro motel with a fun vibe. - Cute retro motel. Very clean and the softest sheets and towels I've ever seen in a hotel. There was no heat in the bathroom, floor was chilly.
• Lewis (10/5): -
• Tammi (9/5): Would come back again. - Everyone was very helpfull. Nothing to helpful. Was great.

• Pascal (9/5): -
• James (9/5): -
• Kimberly (9/5): - Loved the place! The owners were so welcoming. Even though it was a motel, there were little perks that made it nice--like mints on the pillows! The room was clean and comfortable. The pillows weren't very soft.
• Torsten (10/5): Alles bestens! - Sehr sauber, tolles Zimmer und sehr nette Gastgeber. Rocket Motel würden wir jederzeit wieder besuchen. Restaurants und Geschäfte fußläufig zu erreichen.
• Jeannie (9/5): Great place to stay for location, cleanliness and great shower - Very clean and nice shower Beds were a little hard
• Rene (9/5): -
• Mary J (8/5): - 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.
• Dawn (10/5): Great Stay! - Such a great stay. It ALL works. Comfy bed and sheets! Great TV, shower, parking, free coffee each morning! Everything was just so enjoyable! We stayed 2 nights!
• Shannon (10/5): -

• Julie (10/5): We had a blast at the Rocket! - Clean rooms, very friendly staff, fun back patio! larger shower
• Mike (10/5): - Very well organized and professional motel. Decor was awesome. Specific attention to the needs of bikers was fantastic. Great stay. I’ll be back for sure.
• Robert (10/5): - Very nice retro motel….VERY clean with soft fresh towels and linens.
• Jo Ann (4/5): - The rooms have not risen above 1950's standards. The shower desperately needs a grab bar and a full slip-resistant floor. The room's heater was quite noisy.
• Alexandra (10/5): - 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.
• Andersen (10/5): Will definitely stay here again! - Such a sweet place, and CLEAN.
• Peterson (9/5): -
• Keri (10/5): Nostalgic Charm Meets Modern Comfort - This motel perfectly balances nostalgic charm and modern comforts! Everything was clean, with touches of vintage design. The beds were comfy and the shower was hot. The owners/staff were super kind and helpful (they were flexible with our arrival time and helped me mail a cute postcard to my kids). It was so great that I bought a coffee mug as a souvenir! We'll be back! I seriously can't think of anything I didn't like. I suppose some people wouldn't like the motel-style exterior access doors with actual keys to lock/unlock, but I thought it was great and appreciated the old-school vibe.
• Ellen (10/5): Best value, best place to stay in Custer! Clean, Comfortable and Close to everything, -
• Selina (10/5): Great retro hotel, clean and great location - We loved the look of the retro room. It was clean and convenient. Don had everything ready for our late check in. It was super fast and convenient. Also great location. N/A

• Raymond (10/5): -

• Scott (9/5): Retro vibe, great rooms, great hosts - Very cool mid-century modern motel. Hosts were delightful. Location was perfect explore the area. Sturgis rally was going on, which was fun to witness.

• Michelle (10/5): - We loved this affordable, cleanly and safe accommodations. The decor is very fun. We would stay here again!
• Amy (8/5): -
• Deborah (10/5): From our arrival to departure 5 days later, the staff was friendly and helpful. There was always fresh coffee in the off - We liked how clean everything was, and we liked the retro vibe. Everything was perfect!
• Bonnie (9/5): - Clean room
• Bill (9/5): Motor Inn.... reimagined!! You won't be disappointed. - The management/Owners is always working on the maintenance and improvements of the entire property. You can see they really care about the property and that you have a wonderful stay. They have a spot level enough for us big bike riders to park our motorcycles. this is a bonus! I just wish they had a coffee maker in the room. They always offer great coffee and all the amenities in the lobby which has easy access with all the condiments, but I am an early riser, and I like my coffee first thing in the morning. It's a little thing but it's the only thing I can "ding" them for. I choose to overlook it and stay here every time I come the Custer.
• Randall (10/5): - Excellent motel ,clean , convenient, personal parking spot! Owners were super nice and made our stay top notch! Older style motel but updated expertly! We will stay there next bike week and anytime we come close to Custer! ROCKET IS TOP CHOICE!!
• Daniel Stueber (10/5): - The design of the bathroom and shower as well as the front desk. Very cozy and nice. I liked everything
• Amy (10/5): -
• Ruth (10/5): Liebevoll und schön gestaltetes Motel in zentraler Lage - Tolles und sehr liebevoll und detailreich und stylisch gestaltetes Zimmer. Alles war vorhanden, was man braucht, von Mikrowelle und Kühlschrank bis hin zu einem super Schreibtisch. Das Bett war großartig, endlich mal eine etwas festerer und nicht so extrem weiche Matratze wie sonst oft in den USA. Das Bad war auch klasse, die Dusche war sehr gut. Alles war picobello sauber und gepflegt. Es gab kein Frühstück, aber in einer Reihe von Restaurants im Ort für Gäste des Motels 10% Ermäßigung. Wir waren in der Bakery, wo das Frühstück sehr lecker war. Direkt gegenüber ist auch ein Supermarkt. Alles ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Wir. Haben uns super wohl gefühlt und werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! Nichts.
• Pamela (9/5): -
• Roland (8/5): - Loved the Jacuzzi free beverages by said Jacuzzi! Gentleman at the check in was very cordial and professional! A little pricey for accommodation. We had the family room no kitchenette.
• Kim (10/5): The property and the people = just perfect. - This motel makes you want to jump in a 57 Thunderbird and cruise down the main strip to the malt shoppe. Retro fabulous. Not a single thing to dislike.
• Joseph (8/5): -
• Robert (10/5): - Was very clean and very nice vibe Can't wait to go back Nothing
• Chae (10/5): -
• Peggy (8/5): - The room was exceptionally clean and the room was exactly what I expected. The only complaint I had was the mattress was not comfortable, it could used a pillow top. The location was great and easy walking distance to sights in Custer. Only complaint was the mattress, too hard. Outside lights didn't allow room to be dark.
• Trina (9/5): - The mattress was ok .
• bart (10/5): - Super clean and well kept. Will definitely stay here again.
• vermall72 (10/5): -
• Jill (10/5): - Highly recommend! Walk everywhere and great dining options! You even get a 10% discount at some restaurants.
• Päivi (9/5): Modern, high quality accomodation! - The room was very modern with stardards like fully tiled bathroom with hand shower as well as a clean and nicely decorated room. Worth every penny! The room was a bit too tiny.
• Marinda (10/5): -
• Ami R (10/5): Retro Vibe!!! - Very clean, quiet (even though it’s on the highway) and color coordinated for a great vintage vibe. Brenda was a huge help….friendly and seemed as if she genuinely cared! Liked everything about the Rocket Motel!
• Sarah (10/5): - This is such a cute motel and is so, so clean and comfortable! We loved it and highly recommend.
• Kimberly (10/5): - Smaller rooms, but they are immaculate and cute!
• Annette (10/5): - Loved the decor! Have no complaints
• Suzanne (10/5): Everything we were looking for in a motel meeting our travel needs....and more! - Loved the location in this small town - easy to walk to restaurants and shopping. Very easy to drive to Custer State Park entrance. This motel was so very well maintained, super clean, great shower, very comfortable bed and pillows - felt like it was a brand new hotel. Love having the parking space reserved for our room and it is a few steps to the door for easy unloading and loading We will be back.
• Robert (10/5): - Very well kept and excellent retro Motel, renovations take you back in time, stayed there 55 years ago and was excited to stay again, recommend this place and we will stay again.
• Laney (10/5): Totally retro and totally enjoyable! - Retro design. Convenient location! No shower cap!
• Cody (10/5): -
• Steven (10/5): Great stay - Great location and really comfortable room. This was my 8th hotel as part of a long road trip and I had the best nights sleep here so far. The room has heater (which I needed on this unusual cold wet summer day) and a great shower. Parking was right outside of the room and there was coffee available in the mornings with an ice machine outside next to the reception. Bars and restaurants are walking distance, I would recommend Custer wolf - food and drink. I had the best chicken tenders there I’ve ever had an a big selection of craft beers. Tommy the owner was a really friendly guy and it seems everyone knows each other by first name and it was just a great place to chill and meet new people.
• Jerry (10/5): -
• Pauline (10/5): Very attractive! - Very clean. Excellent location. Will stay there again when I go to Custer.
• David (10/5): - 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.
• Chris (9/5): Clean rooms and great location for visiting sites in the Black Hills. - Our room had a kitchenette with access to a gas grill. We were able to make healthy meals and eat outside in the shade of their outdoor dining area. The rooms were very clean and the owners were lovely. It was also convenient to all of the places we visited while in the area. The rooms were a bit small as were the beds.
• Shawnna (10/5): Would recommend rocket hotel to anyone in the area it’s great location, easy access to all the attractions and the resta - It was a good location great decor very comfortable
• Klara (10/5): - Everything! Great staff, great location and spotless rooms. This was our second time here. Would stay again!
• Dennis (10/5): - Excellent choice. Very clean and comfy. We will definitely stay again.
• gonzalez (10/5): -
• Bert (10/5): Heerlijk! - De gastvrijheid van de eigenaren en de goed onderhouden en schone kamer. Van alles voorzien wat je nodig bent! Heerlijke douche maar slappe koffie (keep trying Don 😉) Alles was ok 👍🏻
• Jill (10/5): -
