La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia NE/Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff with fresh coffee 24/7."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Columbia, SC

10/10 Excellent

"I have to say after spending a miserable night at the motel 6 a few exists down this was a refreshing change and ONeil at the front desk was kind enough to slide me a room with an old school jacuzzi in it. That was very nice of him and it was a very positive experience. The morning breakfast was ok they forgot eggs though. lol. They had hot home fries and sausage but no eggs. Good experience overall and thanks O’Neil, you were awesome"

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"If 10 stars were available, I would gladly select. This unique property is in a great location, well maintained and overall a fantastic find. The staff welcomed us and seemed genuinely happy to assist. The location was close to Gervais which had amazing options for shopping and dining. Our room was immaculate, the bedding and bed itself were very comfortable and the décor was inviting. It was a very pleasant surprise to have a coffee/water station on each floor. I would definitely recommend The Lantern Hotel to anyone who is traveling to the area. You will not be disappointed."
