We stayed in 2 different units due to booking dates. One unit had a small kitchenette, the other did not. Both units were fine, just are just in need of upgrades. The manager was awesome. The location was great for walking the city. I would recommend Chalet if you are comfortable with not “top of the line.”

As old as this place is, it is in awesome shape! If you like the tiny roadside cabins of yesteryear, this is your spot. It is perfect for a little overnight on the way. Our host was welcoming, accommodating, and we enjoyed the little breakfast provided. Look forward to drifting through again soon!

There weren't any kitchen facilities in my cabin. The room was very clean. The staff was wonderful, very friendly, helpful and always available for any questions. I never did figure out how to use the heater in the room. It wasn't too cold, but i could have gotten the chill out of the room. Too nice to use the AC.

Woke up with back pain. Very small bathroom

I'm sure this property was charming many years ago but for 2025, it needs updating and remodeling. Everyone who works here is very nice. The room needed additional cleaning as there was hair everywhere on side of doors, on bathroom walls. The bathroom is very small so if you are over 5'10" it is very uncomfortable as toilet to sink is cramped. The shower is also very small. Only here for about 12 hours and woke up with horrible back pain. The mattresses need to be replaced. It's right off the main road.

Our visit was the most memorable experience. Michelle, the owner and her crew, Daniela&Rebeca Mede our stay so welcome and we felt like we were in our own home. There aren’t no words to express our gratitude. I will be back to Denver and tell EVERYONE about it and promote this amazing, wonderful and friendly place-Hotel.

Such a cute chalet to stay in! Michelle was the absolute best making sure we were taken care of and the continental breakfast already in the room was perfect. We stayed one night and check in and out were easy and convenient. It is a 1937 chalet with updates so the condition is what it is. Everything was very clean and we were thankful for the window air unit since it was unseasonably hot. Great location and value as we were passing through Custer.
