Reviews of Creekside Lodge at Custer State Park Resort
"Love the location. Rooms are clean and well appointed. Coffee on tap on the lounge. Everyone is friendly. And wildlife on your doorstep."
"Very clean, comfortable, large room! Service was top-notch, great location and meals at the Lodge are close by! We will be back for sure!"
"Very helpful with the buffalo jeep tour. We didn’t stay at the lodge itself. But everyone was very helpful and went beyond what they needed to do"
"Buffalo Safari tour was awesome. Our tour guide was the best. He was very informative, told very interesting stories and got us up real close to the buffalo. Also saw prairie dogs, a coyote and pronghorn antelope. Would definitely recommend!"
"This is an interesting place. The hotel itself is located inside the state park, so there's an extra cost of a park license that you have to pay. There's a Jeep tour based from this location that is 100% worth doing, but you don't have to be a guest to do it. Absolutely do the Jeep tour, our guide told us about a bunch of other free activities in the park. The hotel itself: it's important to note there is absolutely nothing to do at the hotel except sleep. If you're wanting to hang out at a hotel and not leave the property, go elsewhere. If there's nature stuff you want to do, or activities in the park that you want to do, you'll be hard pressed to get closer to them overnight. There is no food at the hotel, plan accordingly. There is a zero late checkout policy, plan accordingly. There is an extra fee for a crib/pack and play, so if you have small children, plan accordingly. My biggest gripe was the AC. The AC only has an auto mode, and it will heat or cool to your set temperature. This means that if you walk into your room in the middle of the summer and turn the AC from 60 (default) to 70, it will turn on the heat, and you will die a slow painful and stuffy death. Also, the AC vents directly into the patios, so while it's beautiful to sit and look out at the park, you get to do so with gale force winds blowing hot air on you. Imagine sitting on top of your air compressor at home, it's like that. We enjoyed our stay, but a few issues (above) brought down the overall rating."
