Very basic and clean property. I want to thank the young man who was looking after the place while his family was away. He was very young for this responsibility but he tried very hard to help his customers! Small rooms and a refreshing small pool after a long hot drive.

Remodeled and updated is SO cute. Rooms are very well done with colors and surfaces in addition to maintaining some charm of original hardware. Price was good. Onsight owners were available and friendly. We have stayed at other corporate owned hotels in Hill City and The Lantern Inn was like finding a little gem

Pleasant but basic
This is a clean no thrills hotel in Fall City, SD. The hotel is managed by the owners. They are pleasant and efficient At 3:45 pm the office opens and processing starts. The hotel is .2-.3 miles from the commercial center and across the streeet from a grocery/liquor store. The rooms are clean, but small. A box air conditioner is used. There is no breakfast, but coffee is available after 7:30am. There is a small pool and some picnic benches in a grassy area. In short, this is a hotel that has pluses and some minuses … my impression is that they are making an effort and fine tuning it. This is not a luxury destination, but you can get your zzzzs in and do the activities you came to do, but be aware of the limits here.

Such a neat place to stay. It’s so cozy tucked in off the road. Looks recently updated. The room was perfect for us. It was so clean. The shower was a nice size, bathroom was small but was all we needed. The bed was super comfortable. Parking was great. The owners were very friendly. We walked to town I would definitely stay here again.
