We discovered this little gem about 10 years ago. Whenever we are in Custer, The Rocket Motel is our first choice. The only thing I would like different, would be the temp controls in the room. Hard to manage. Would love the option to run a fan to muffle outside noise. Otherwise a wonderful place to stay
The owner lied to me about making a change in the reservation causing me to pay for a night we did not stay at the motel. Dishonest despite the fact they have a “Jesus” sign on their front door.
The cleanliness at this cute motel was top notch. Everything was pristine. The decor was 1950’s style and worked well. It was a chilly night (woke up to frost of the car windows). Our room temperature was 55 F., a good sleeping temp but too cold for a morning shower. The heat apparently wasn’t on yet.
What a wonderful experience! We so enjoyed the Rocket especially how clean and every detail such as painting and how perfectly the bathroom as well as the room cleanly every area is…💕💕
Blast from the past! Absolute love it and will be back many times! Extremely clean. Walking distance to everything. Soft sheets, soft towels! Amazing front desk help. Perfect and highly recommend!
