This is a nice, locally owned motel that we enjoy staying at when visiting the Hill City area. Rooms are on the small side but clean, comfortable and well maintained. The grounds are neat with a pool and hot tub available. It's conveniently located to the Mickelson Trail, the 1880 Train, across the street from a grocery store and within... More

My fiance and I just returned from our trip out west which consisted of a 3 night stay in Hill City. We were very pleased with the Lantern Inn. The rates were reasonable, the room was great, you cannot beat the location and there was a hot tub (but we didn't get to use it because we were so busy).... More

The rooms have recently been updated and are cozy and comfortable, and the rates are more than reasonable. Drew, who recently bought the hotel, is so friendly, and enjoys visiting and... More

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
