"Great location, easy to get to USC campus. Staff were friendly and helpful. Property and room was clean and comfortable. Parking $10 per day but you could come and go - there were spaces but a little tricky to get in and out of if you have anything larger than a sedan. Overall great stay!"

"The staff was extremely friendly."

"i have no idea why this is listed as 2 stars. thr room was on smaller size but the building dictated that. the staff was great, the atmosphere was top notch, location was ideal. will be staying here again. its not listed but check in included a welcome drink, the themeing was on point , the only downsides were poor sound isolation."

"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"
