Top Columbia Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

The Lantern Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I recently stayed at The Lantern in Columbia, SC, and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. From the convenient valet service to the comfortable room and excellent location, the hotel exceeded our expectations. We arrived late Thursday afternoon and were able to pull directly up to valet parking. The service was especially convenient, with a text allowing us to track our vehicle and conveniently provide a tip. Check-in was equally seamless and took only a few minutes. Our room was cozy, exceptionally clean, and comfortable. One small detail we especially appreciated was the bathroom door—a real, solid door that actually provided privacy! After several recent hotel stays with barn-style or partially transparent doors, this was a welcome change. Just outside our room was a coffee station with a distilled-water fountain for refilling the room’s water carafe, along with small bags of ice in freezer drawers. These thoughtful touches were very convenient. We also enjoyed the bar at Ladder 13. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and breakfast offered an excellent selection with food that did not disappoint. The location was another highlight. After our niece’s Army graduation at Fort Jackson, we left our vehicle with valet parking and explored the neighborhood on foot, enjoying great coffee at a nearby boutique shop and sharing oysters at a restaurant just up the street. Overall, we had a wonderful stay."

Hampton Inn Columbia-Downtown Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, customer friendly staff, safe area, restaurant options within walking distance, downtown Columbia and ample on site parking."

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the ease of getting there - the on-site parking - the buffet breakfast and the amazing location. Room was clean. Would love a nite-light in the bathroom - room was totally dark with lights off and bathroom across the room from the bed and door to bath was glass so light shines thru during the night. Aside from that, just loved everything the hotel and staff had to offer - would totally stay there again."

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

"Miss Shirley handles the breakfast area! She is the best. Always smiling and very helpful. A true asset to this Hotel!"
