The Lantern is a converted 1950s-era firehouse in the heart of Columbia's exciting Vista district. The conversion is AMAZING from a design POV, and a lot of fun to experience. I also loved is its commitment to providing meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities, who make up 30% of its staff. They were lovely. I've already booked my second stay.

This property and ALL of the staff are fabulous! I love boutique hotels and this one is now at the top of the list as one of my favorites. The decor is nice. The beds are comfy. It’s walking distance to restaurants and shopping. They offer free breakfast and did I mention complimentary wine and popcorn upon checking in!!! I will be back!!!

Choose this hotel for a pet-friendly stop-over on our drive to Florida and had a great experience. This staff was super-friendly and this nearly-brand-new property was immaculate. They have us a great 1st floor room with easy access to the walking and parking area. We took advantage of the patio to have dinner (take-out from a local restaurant) and breakfast with our dog. The breakfast was excellent, including hot omelets, eggs, and sausage, and the 6 am start (on a Sunday) allowed us to get...

This is a very nice hotel in all regards. It has been restored very well; the room was spacious and comfortable. We had 3 excellent breakfasts each day. The location is perfect for shopping and dining in the downtown area. We thoroughly enjoyed Aiken and this hotel.

Warning: I’ll be naming names in this review. To say that I was impressed is the understatement of the year! I am every hotels worst nightmare when it comes to my level of pickiness as a guest because I check everywhere. Well, this hotel beat me to the punch! Room 113 was so clean that we booked a second night just to extend our stay there. Sindy was responsible for cleaning my room so I found her and asked how she got it so clean.
