Top Lead Hotel Reviews

Spearfish Canyon Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful setting! Helpful and down to earth staff. Very comfortable stay!"

Town Hall Inn

8/10 Good

"The owner was accessible and very friendly. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious. The bathroom vanity is quite small and feels dated. The breakfast was very simple, but for the price it would have been nice to offer a bit more. Overall a good stay."

Blackstone Lodge & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff. Free shuttle to Deadwood the weekend we were there. Could use some updating and a good vacuuming."
