Rocket Motel is retro and so cute! I was doing the Lean Horse 100 mile running race and the motel was a short walk to the start line. The staff are all super nice and accommodating and I really just liked the overall vibe of the place. I stay at a lot of hotels for work and this was a nice break from the chain hotel feeling as it is locally owned , unique, and has very cool neon decor outside.

Owner run, clearly cares about the upkeep and the aesthetics of this retro mid-century motel. The room was in awesome condition, it felt newly built and tidy. I had a great stay and will stay here again should I return. A great stay for a lone wanderer and caravans alike.

This is a cute little motel that has been renovated. The owners are very nice and the amenities they offer are top notch. We were right across from the Mickleson Bike trail and 1-2 blocks from all the restaurants.

Rocket motel rocks!
This was our 2nd time to stay there and we’ll always be back when we visit Custer! Clean, comfortable, and just a super cute little retro room. They don’t have breakfast but there’s plenty of options in the area. Highly recommend!

This place is so cute! We ended up with a family room because there were singles available. It had a room with a queen bed and then a seperate room with two full size beds. The bathroom was between them. Main room had a little fridge and microwave. The bathroom was retro but very clean and kept. Loved it. It was a bit of a tight squeeze between the sink and the shower to get in but doable.
