Custer is situated nicely between the number of day trips we took. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were busy refilling containers and helpful with a smile. The lady at the front desk on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was very friendly. We really liked the layout of the room. Plenty of space for two suitcases and other bags.
