"Room was facing the Main Street. It was very loud outide with the train whistle blowing late at night and the sounds of cars speeding down the street. We were in a room with an adjoining room. The neighbors were very loud and the doors allowed a lot of noise into our room. It was very difficult to sleep well."

"Staff was the kindest, most welcoming hotel staff I have ever come across. We had a mix up with our rooms in the beginning and they fixed it immediately and apologized a hundred times. They complimented our outfits at checkout, like come on!!! Rooms were clean, they have a nice bar and a small convenience store. 10/10. Would recommend."

"Our stay at The Lantern Hotel was truly incredible. This brand-new hotel is such a special addition to Columbia, and we feel so lucky that we were able to stay in the Fire Tower, it made the experience even more unique. Everything about the property was wonderful. The hotel itself was incredibly clean, and the housekeeping staff were so kind and welcoming every time we saw them. The ambiance throughout the hotel was beautiful and relaxing. One of our favorite parts was spending hours outside by the fire pit with drinks and food, it was the perfect place to unwind. The restaurant was amazing as well. The food was so good that we ended up eating there both nights of our stay, and the drinks were just as impressive. It really added to the whole experience. What truly made our stay unforgettable, though, was Quentin. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond. He checked us in and personally walked us to our room, which immediately made us feel welcomed. Quentin seemed to be there every day and night, we joked that we don’t think he ever leaves! Every time we saw him, we stopped to talk, and he was always so kind, funny, and genuinely helpful. It’s clear that Quentin truly cares about hospitality and about both the guests and the staff. He went out of his way for us multiple times to make sure our stay went smoothly. His level of service is rare and so appreciated. Honestly, he’s so great that he should be the Senior General Manager! Highly recommend staying here!!"

"The staff and breakfast were excellent. Location was great for what we needed. I only gave 4 stars because the bathroom in the room was not great. They had sliding glass doors that did not fully close. Being a private bathroom person that was very uncomfortable. The rooms did have 2 sinks though so that was a plus. "

"Staff was not quite as friendly as my others, starting right after you opened. Front desk, bartender. Hope they have plenty of support and appreciation. "

"Lobby is the key feature...a few too many abandoned businesses on the street detract. Basic room was a bit plain. Chicken and biscuits delicious for breakfast but they were 20 minutes late the day we needed to depart."

"The front desk staff were amazing! Super helpful and friendly. Also the chocolate chip cookies were to die for! Hotel was very clean and great location."
