“The Bavarian Inn charms with its distinct decor and thoughtful touches, like the daily cookie and milk offering; I particularly like the variety of on-site activities available for families. Cleanliness appears paramount, and the pools-both indoor and out-are definite assets. Its location makes exploring Custer State Park and other Black Hills attractions genuinely convenient, in my view.”
