Top Founders Park Hotel Reviews

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very hospitable and the hotel was located downtown close to local attractions."

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"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."
