I will definitely stay here again for our annual Studebaker event in Custer. The breakfast was amazing for a continental breakfast. The staff went above & beyond. I appreciate Zena who staffed the breakfast - she was friendly & took care of everyone's needs. I used the pool for an early morning swim. It was walking distance to downtown.
