Poorly managed and poorly maintained.
Worst motel stay ever. Cheaply built and furnished prefab building we were in was poorly managed, poorly maintained. First room we were given had not been cleaned - trash, dirty dishes, dirty bedding. Second room had no heat on a night when it snowed. Off-site owner was no help - a friend of the owner and her husband tried to help, fixed the heater temporarily, and brought a space heater on the second day. Owner did not respond to text. AND it was expensive.

Niko one around non arrival. Could sTV working within living quarters of the home, but no one answered the door bell. Finally, after having on the windows a very young child came to the door and told us to just go to the unlit and the key was inside. The rest was good.

Nice quiet location and the room was comfortable, however when we had a neighbor next door it was obvious the walls were very non sound proof. Easy to hear the people next door talking and what they were saying.

Overall nice place. Great location. Rooms clean and enough room for 2 people. Wish I could’ve opened the window but it was full of spider webs and the trailer park is like 5 feet behind the window.

Employee Parking???
Oddly, seemed; both days... apparently EMPLOYEE vehicle parked in drive through, blocking what would normally be lane for guests to check in at office door. Even a seecond vehicle, it seemed, parked, fair blocking door, as well as any parking near office entrance. Any attempting park near office to check in, then tending block entire 'frontage'/passage from highway access point across to rooms. Seems such space ought NOT be, round the clock, day after day, blocked.

Decent place but got a TEXT from the hotel after we left accusing us of taking a blanket and telling us we'd be charged $59 for it. We didn't take a blanket and thought the way they went about contacting us and addressing the issue was really unprofessional.

We loved the rustic cabin feel of our room. My daughters and I loved our 2 night stay in Custer at Mystic Valley Inn. It was our favorite place to stay during out 2 week road trip. The staff was so helpful as well. We will be back someday.

Mystic Motel is Magical
We were visiting Custer State park. The Motel was very close to the park and the town of custer, but far enough away from town to be very quiet and private. The room was very spacious with seperate rooms. I really like that privacey. There was a microwave, refrigerator and flatscreen cable TV in the room. The beds were clean and comfortable. It is an older motel but maintained very well while preserving the older charm. The staff were so friendly I really felt like they were close friends. My dog was welcome with no additional charge. The grounds are huge, well over an acre, and very nicely landscaped. There is a gazebo with fire pit and very comfortable furniture. We saw some deer and a fox, I think, and other wildlife. Overall I really enjoyed my stay. I will be back often.

Great location at the end of town, quiet and right at the entrance of Custer State Park. The rooms are small but newly renovated and tastefully decorated. A great deal for the price!
