Lesson learned, request the upper floor.

We’ve stayed here before and prefer the quiet upstairs rooms, our ground floor room off the main lobby this time around was quite noisy.

Property was close to downtown Custer that had restaurants and shops. Very cute town. The hotel is outdated I read somewhere it was remodeled but not sure how long ago. When we checked in our rooms bathroom was dirty the toilet had a stain had to the front desk and they sent someone. It also seemed that they’re short staffed saw only three people working. The front office desk they only had one person and the phone was non stop ringing. We stayed here because there wasn’t many other options.
