South Carolina Midlands hotel guide. Red Roof Inn hotel in South Carolina Midlands, South Carolina

"Arrived late and assigned us a room which had a very loud noise unable to sleep. Had to work a while for staff to assign us a new room. Finally got a new room not as nice as first room. Finally had a good night’s sleep good beds. Breakfast in the morning was OK. Overall I would give the hotel an average score. Night staff were helpful in solving the problem as hotel was all booked. Place was clean."

"The room was clean and check in staff were helpful and friendly! "

"Clean room, nice feel to the room. Well lit parking. Easy to walk to grab dinner."

"Wonderful surprise. Wish there were blackout curtains tho. "

"Hall carpets needed cleaned. Bathroom door will not close. Fresh donuts would be nice."

"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."

"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was exceptionally clean, the property was well maintained, the breakfast was tasty and the staff was friendly and very helpful."
