The Lantern Hotel Columbia is highly regarded for its creative transformation of a historic fire station into a premier boutique hotel. Guests frequently praise the 'top-tier' service and genuine Southern hospitality provided by the staff, specifically mentioning team members by name. The on-site restaurant, Ladder 13, is a highlight, noted for its delicious food and the lively atmosphere created by the open garage doors. Reviewers are impressed by the interior design, particularly the modern room features like motion-sensor floor lighting and comfortable configurations. While the majority of feedback is excellent, one guest noted a slight delay in communication with the front desk during a multi-night stay. Overall, it is described as a beautiful and high-value destination that captures the charm of downtown Columbia.
