Our family went on a vacation and stayed at the Lantern Inn for three nights. The rooms were spotless and the staff was so friendly and helpful. There was an outdoor swimming pool and spa. The location was very close to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park and Keystone. Desperados was a very good restaurant in downtown Hill City. I would... More

This was a great place for us to stay. Located right in the middle of all there is to do in the Black Hills, the Lantern Inn was very comfortable, clean, and the owners are so accomodating! The beds are very comfortable, the rooms (we had a king) are nice sized with a refrigerator and plenty of storage room. Morning... More

My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights in July and found this inn to be a great base for visiting the sights. The beds were comfortable, and the ac welcome in the heat. Breakfast is basic, donuts and juice, enough for a start. The hosts offer conversation and lots of information. I would return. More

My Wife and I stayed here for three nights at the start of a road trip. It is a few blocks into down town but not too far. It is a great place to base yourself for the attractions. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The basic breakfast is taken in a small lobby, which if more than 6... More

This motel was very nice. We only stayed one night, but would have gladly stayed longer. The owners were very friendly, even invited us to BBQ with them and their friends. The grounds, room, and general area were very clean and well kept. Has a hot tub, as well as a swimming pool. Would highly recommend this motel. http://www.lanterninn.com/ More

Through my own error, I realized that we had to check out of our hotel because it was booked and we didn't have a place to stay. I contacted the property owner and he recommended the Lantern Inn. I called them and they had a room available. They cleaned the room up early and allowed us in in the a.m.... More

We stayed here, with two adults and 5 kids. LOVED it!! had a very clean room with a kitchenette. the owners set up a cot for the extra child. Coffee, juice, and donuts for breakfast. They were just shutting the pool down for the season, but left it open one more day for our kids. More

Yes, you can stay closer to Rushmore at Keystone, but if you're including Crazy Horse, then stay in Hill City. It's the most convenient for both monuments. Just be sure to make your reservations in advance in high season. My wife and I stayed at the Lantern Inn and it was great. The room was small, but very clean and... More
