"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"

"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."

"The water was off when we arrived We had only an hour to make a meeting It would have been nice to have been notified at the beginning instead of me slapping my hands turning on the faucet and no water! The staff was extremely apologetic and helpful manager was nice only real negative was no saying anything up front giving me a chance to make up my mind"
