"My recent stay at the Lantern Hotel in Columbus, South Carolina was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the manager and his team made me feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness and professionalism set the tone for the entire experience. What makes this hotel even more special is the heart behind it. The owner built the Lantern as an inspiration to his daughter, who has a slight disability, and created a place where young women and men can learn, grow, and work with dignity. That mission shines through in every detail — the atmosphere, the service, and the pride the staff takes in their work. It wasn’t just a hotel stay; it was an uplifting experience. I left feeling grateful, inspired, and eager to return. Mindi Lane"

"The staff was very welcoming and joyful. Check-in and check-out were easy. They do not offer complimentary breakfast, but it is centrally located downtown and within walking distance of many restaurants, bistros, clubs, and bars. The rooms are clean, updated, and they have good water pressure. The pool was open and clean."

"The a/c was loud but worked. Parking well lit, it is an old hotel and the building and grounds are run down but my room had been refurbished and was clean. Plan on breakfast somewhere else very limited selections. Not much in the way if protein except for yogurt. Staff was lovely and helpful. There was a concert going on right behind the hotel. Very loud until 11:00 pm. "
