This is an older property that is well maintained. We did have an AC problem, but the temperature during our stay made that a non-issue. We were offered the choice to change rooms, but declined. Enjoyed the large indoor pool. Room was small, but had everything we needed.

I really liked staying at Chief Motel. It was a cozy place with very comfortable beds. Older but clean and neat. The only thing was that their outdoor pool was not the cleanest but we still swam in it. Just could have been better. Otherwise it was a great place to stay.

Our kind of place!
Have stayed here several times. Never had a complaint about anything. Prefer mom & pop motels over big chain motels. And this place is perfect. Not the fanciest motel, or the most modern. But that's what makes it so special, and why we stay here, and will again, if we ever return to Custer.

Great check in with manager, very informative gave us some great tips about where to go in Custer and surrounding areas. We booked 2 room unit which was good for privacy however noisy air con and no window in 2nd room which was stuffy. great indoor pool close to everything Custer has to offer. Recommend for short stay!!
