The Lantern Columbia

Hotel was excellent. Very clean and the Ladder 13 restaurant was awesome. The food was great and the prices were good. They did not gouge or inflate pricing just because it's in a hotel lobby like most hotels do.

Such a cool hotel! Updated rooms and super friendly staff.

Great location , great service and best mattress !!

Great evening here!!

The only two things that I don’t love is: 1. There’s only valet parking. With $30 charge/ day. No parking lots attached to the property. 2. The first room we were assigned to didn’t have hot shower. Upon calling front desk, we were told that the maintenance guy don’t work over the weekend and has already went home for the day. ( understandable because it was 11 PM on Friday.) the staff was nice and agreed to switched us to another room upon request. ( but no 24/7 maintenance blow my mind) Overall, it was good… didn’t regret staying there, but not sure if I would come back next time …

The hotel had the cutest vibe in the old firestation. We didn’t have a tv controller and the soap in the shower wouldn’t work, but other than that the stay was great, the bed was comfy, the hangout areas were awesome and the breakfast was yummy!

Great service….clean rooms!!

The room was great and there is a coffee station on each floor. Not sure why there are no exhaust fans in the bathrooms… minor inconvenience. We believe in their mission and we will be back.

Outstanding hotel! Super nice staff, wonderful sleek design and lots of amenities (gym 24/7, water and coffee machines, mini fridge, restaurant and bar). Such a pleasant stay, we couldn't wish for anything better! We are travelling with a toddler and they had a nice place in the back to offload a car and you can then either do valet ($30) or do street parking (free 7pm-9am). Also walking distance to so many bars and restaurants!

This was hands down, one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in a long while. Immediately at check in, you’re greeted with a smiling and helpful face. The rooms are so clean and so well done. I loved the carafes and hallway bar area to fill up water and availability of complimentary tea and coffee. So incredibly thought out. Drew was the friendliest, he was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly kind. I wish there were more people in customer service like Drew. The valet staff was above and beyond and the entire experience when traveling for work was incredibly welcoming. Would definitely stay here and recommend.

Great staff, great breakfast!

Huge thank you to Rick and his amazing staff helping me celebrate mine and my husband's 5 year anniversary! My husband was wowed by absolutely everything and the service was incredible! Athena at ladder 13 delivered superb assistance to us while we ate at the restaurant and we will surely be back to visit again!

Very friendly staff. Restaurant was great! Beds quite comfortable.

Clean room. Nice gym.

The staff was so kind and accommodating. They treated us so well. We wish we would have found this place sooner.

Beautiful new place to stay in downtown Columbia. The bar and restaurant is fabulous - great food and drinks - firepits and open “garage” doors add to the ambiance. Quirky hotel layout that works and focuses on the history of the buildings. Staff was very kind and helpful. We will definitely come back!

Need more bottled beer options..... not everyone likes "craft" beer and/or draft.

Great room. Great place. Great people. I’ve stayed multiple times. Noise from my room was a problem this time. At around 4 am there was some kind of truck activity, maybe garbage pickup, outside of my window and I was then awake the rest of the night!

Place is great and fun/funky. Love it. Restaurant connected to it is excellent as well. Highly recommend especially if you are a parent fir a USC student... right on campus

The room was nice, clean, well appointed and trendy. We enjoyed a comfortable stay and the lobby smells amazing! The staff was very nice and helpful. Great location.
