Lilita, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The inn was conveniently located and reasonably priced as compared to similar properties in that local. The room was clean and quiet, however if you’re looking for a luxury, full service resort, look elsewhere.

10/10 Excellent

friendly service, told you up front that they would not be entering your room unless you needed service. small but perfect rooms.
Daniel, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean room and the property itself were well maintained. Close and convenient to all things in Hill City. Staff were friendly as well. My only knock on the room was the walls were a bit thin as I could sometimes hear the tenants in the room next to mine. However, I never heard them enough to bother or inconvenience my experience at the Lantern Inn. I'd definitely consider staying there again on my next visit to the Black Hills.
