"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 room was clean and the breakfast was tasty. But the STAR of the place was the front desk clerk named Tre ( i am not sure if the spelling). She went above and beyond. She was very friendly, accommodating, helpful, humorous and made the stay more than worthwhile. "

"If they can sort out the parking situation, this hotel would be idea. I don’t understand why we have to pay to park in their DEDICATED parking LOT (not garage). Other than that, very clean, the food and beverages from the bar was great and staff is friendly."
