The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Location for us was perfect. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel was very nice."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

8/10 Good

"Well the stay overall was very pleasant. My main concern and its a small one but still impactful was the coffee was never hot no matter what time I got some. It was always a warm and I had to heat it in the microwave. The was the coffee that is always available in the lobby...not in the rooms. Other than that, the stay was very nice. Oh... I am always used to having waffles at a continental breakfast but we were told they only offer waffles on the weekend. I joked that this hotel was too grown for me if they didnt offer waffles at breakfast...lol. Again, great stay and I would definitely return."

Moxy Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay, friendly staff, wonderful location. The bartenders created delicious cocktails. The overall.aesthetic of the property was fun and vibrant. Walking distance to many delicious restaurants. Use the ear plugs when you sleep, you can hear the people stomping above your rooms, and people sneezing nextdoor."
