Owners are super nice people, Charlie and Janet
If you are in Hill City for dinner, you gotta try the Alpine Inn! Easy walk from the motel to everything in downtown Hill City.

I have to second the Alpine Inn, we stayed in Deadwood for three days last year, and rode everywhere we wanted to from there. We stopped in Hill City for lunch when we did the Mt. Rushmore, Needles Highway ride. If you like Brats, they have a great lunch special. We found the ride better from the north to the south (for fun factor only) on Needles Highway, for the view of Mt. Rushmore, south to north is the best. One of the best parts is when the road splits to single lane only, it is alot of fun to fling the bike left and right to make all of the little curves without worrying about on coming traffic.

Totally agree with jimclaypool's recommendation. The wife and I stayed at the Lantern Inn at Hill City in Aug09. Great owners, great accomodations, great location, clean rooms at a reasonable rate. Make sure you check out the 'Old Hill City Road' that runs between Hill City & Keystone.
