Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
The lobby of this place is beautiful, the lobby receptionist was friendly, and at the room was pleasant and clean. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly - except for one person In the morning, neither coffee machine was working. That wasn't the problem. Things break. The problem is what happend next. I asked the woman that was taking care of the breakfast area if she could fix the machines. She didn't respond to me whatsoever, and all she did was to scowl, turn her back on me and walk away. Later, I tried again to get coffee, and the woman in line in front of me mentioned it to the woman. She just barked "It's working" and walked away. It definitely was not working, since it was filling the cup with a half cup of coffee and spraying the rest of the water on the counter that the machines were sitting on. I honbestly believe she may be one of the rudest people I've ever had any contact with, and I do not believe that woman should have a job where she interacts with the public. Moreover, I don't think that Holiday Inn should be hiring people like her.

Custer is situated nicely between the number of day trips we took. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were busy refilling containers and helpful with a smile. The lady at the front desk on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was very friendly. We really liked the layout of the room. Plenty of space for two suitcases and other bags.

There was a barking dog in the parking lot 3 nights in a row. We told the front desk about it and they said it was across the street. It was in a gray Honda in the front parking lot. Nothing was done and I don't appreciate it. We won't be back.

Great location to Custer State Park. Great coffee. Tile floors in lobby, near elevators, pool area, and breakfast are were filthy. We stayed 3 nights and the same dirty spots were there each day. The floor is so sticky that you could hear the people’s shoes sticking to the floor as you ate breakfast. Not hard to improve or solve this problem. Make someone mop each day!
