Beautifully decorated , cozy cottage feel, great service. Loved the pool, pickleball court and cute areas to sit and hang out!! Especially loved the delivery of warm cookies and milk at bedtime each evening for a small fee! Highly recommend! Beds so comfy too!

We loved our stay! Some of the best sleep I’ve ever had while traveling. There are so many sweet perks and free things to do while staying here. It’s affordable, cute, clean, and the people working there are so sweet! Would definitely stay again.

Excellent non-corporate vibe. Clean. Friendly staff.
Steven, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We absolutely love staying at the Bavarian Inn. Every need you could think of is fufilled while keeping that down home family feel. The decking in front of the rooms could use attention and our Jacuzzi tub didnt work. Other than that, our stay was fantastic. We will be back again Bavarian Inn as we have before!

Great value and location

Loved staying here in June. The staff was friendly and made sure I knew everything the place had to offer. Check in and out were a breeze. Especially loved the possibility of free laundry and the other perfect amenities available. The place was perfect for an morning or evening stroll. It was situated perfectly to many great areas including Custer State Park, Sylvan Lake, Mount Rushmore, and Wind Cave National Park. Even Badlands National Park wasn't a bad drive away. While it definitely is an older establishment, I feel like they've done well in keeping it fresh and clean. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Custer.

8/10 Very good

Clean with a convenient location

Clean but dated hotel. Receptionist was very sweet and engaging. We were just there for 1 night and this property was good enough. Very conveniently located to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park.

Charming rooms and grounds

This is our second time staying here as we really enjoy the charm of the rooms and grounds. There is an indoor and outdoor pool as well as a basketball and pickleball court area. The fitness trail is perfect to walk our dog and get a little exercise as well. The rooms while a little older, are so charming and the bedding is sooooo soft. We will stay here again next time we are in the area.

Beautiful Memory

The hotel is very charming. We enjoyed the attention to detail in the furnishings and decor. Everything was comfortable and fresh. A hidden gem for sure. The staff was extraordinary from check in to check out. We also had a healthy breakfast at the restaurant with beautiful views. Wonderful!
Sylvia P, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The inn is super cute and very close to Custer. Easy to get to many attractions such as Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Needles Hwy etc. The staff was very friendly. Fiona was extra nice and very helpful at check in. There is an indoor and outdoor pool that are very well kept and a hot tub. Games around the property, swing set, workout bars and rings and a tennis court. The cafe next door was a great place for a quick breakfast. The room had a fridge and microwave, coffee maker, hairdryer and shampoos, soaps etc. The shower water pressure was slightly weak and the WiFi was as well. Overall a great place to stay and we highly recommend it.
