The Lantern is a converted 1950s-era firehouse in the heart of Columbia's exciting Vista district. The conversion is AMAZING from a design POV, and a lot of fun to experience. I also loved is its commitment to providing meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities, who make up 30% of its staff. They were lovely. I've already booked my second stay.

This property and ALL of the staff are fabulous! I love boutique hotels and this one is now at the top of the list as one of my favorites. The decor is nice. The beds are comfy. It’s walking distance to restaurants and shopping. They offer free breakfast and did I mention complimentary wine and popcorn upon checking in!!! I will be back!!!

Hotel is new and clean. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast options.
Parking is the only potential issue. The on site lot is small and gets full. There is a garage to park at across the street.

Being from out of state the location of this hotel was rather nice for the purpose of visiting fort jackson for family day and graduation very easy to get to base. The room was emmaculate and all of the amenities were superb! The beds are super comfy and the pillows are the best! Would definitely stay again!!!

I needed a place to stay close by to the hospital while my husband had surgery, but wanted a warm comfortable place. The place was just what I needed. Shanna was warm and welcoming, and couldn't have done more to make my stay a good one. I felt very much at home. The inn was beautifully decorated and well kept. Breakfast was excellent and there were snacks available at all times, a plus after a long day at the hospital. I would highly recommend this place.

I read prior to booking that this hotel wasn't wothin walking distance to resturants on Gervais. True. But the staff, savings, breakfast, and accommodations were fabulous. Getting in the car wasn't a problem at all.
