We recently spent 4 nights at the Chief Motel in Custer South Dakota. We were near the end of a 7.5 week motorcycle trip which took us across Canada, down the Pacific coast to San Simeon, up to Yosemite, Yellowstone and the Black Hills. We chose the Chief based on reviews it received on Trip Advisor and we were not... more

We had a king room, which was certainly large enough for two people. and quite nice. The room looked exactly like the internet photo, and was well equipped. The bed was comfy, and quite homey, with non-institutional, soft sheets being a plus. We were shocked to think anyone would think the price, which was more than reasonable, to be high.... more

This was the most expensive hotel along our trip through the Black Hills/Mount Rushmore area at $54 plus tax and by far the smallest room (photo attached)--I'd guess the original establishment was built back in the 30's or 40's--it was clean, though, and did include a small fridge and microwave. Tiny TV set if that matters to you. They did... more

We have stayed in Custer for years and always "driven" past the Chief on our way to the traditional chain motels on the outskirts of town. Well...this year we took advantage of a really good deal and stayed at the Chief. We were not disappointed. The room was very clean and had everything we needed, including a microwave, fridge, cable... more

We spent 6 nights at the Chief Motel. It is centrally located to many of the activities we wanted to do. The people who run the motel are fabulous - offering suggestions, giving directions, and maps. Even the cleaning staff would leave notes for us. You can walk to restaurants, the bike trail is a block away and the state... more

The Chief Motel may not look like much from the outside, but it is a great place to stay. Once in your room, it is nicely decorated and is completely clean. The owner is very friendly and helpful. There's also a very nice indoor pool (the largest in Custer!), a hot tub and a sauna! This motel is just a... more

I originally got information about The Chief on Trip Advisor, but we weren't sure of where we were staying on our trip. Once we got our plans figured out we called them right away. The room was very spacious and very clean! Each room had their own parking space which we thought was nice. Its always awful getting to your... more

We were on motorcycles and arrived on the 4th of July. First of all, the owner, Bruce is kind of a funny, wise cracking Irishman. He and his wife are great hosts. Our room was great. Simple but very clean and comfortable. There is an under cover parking area for motorcycles, a bike wash area and every morning they put... more

We spent two nights here. The couple that run this motel were very friendly and able to offer us a lot of advice regarding things to do, places to see, etc. The room was super. It was very clean and the decor was perfect for the area we were in. We had two rooms with three beds. It was only... more
