Richland County RV Parks 2026

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!!!

Being from out of state the location of this hotel was rather nice for the purpose of visiting fort jackson for family day and graduation very easy to get to base. The room was emmaculate and all of the amenities were superb! The beds are super comfy and the pillows are the best! Would definitely stay again!!!

Great staff!

Very clean and comfy place. Good breakfast, really enjoyed it.

I needed a place to stay close by to the hospital while my husband had surgery, but wanted a warm comfortable place. The place was just what I needed. Shanna was warm and welcoming, and couldn't have done more to make my stay a good one. I felt very much at home. The inn was beautifully decorated and well kept. Breakfast was excellent and there were snacks available at all times, a plus after a long day at the hospital. I would highly recommend this place.

Clean and good food

This was a great place to stay. Our room was very spacious, clean, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

The room was very clean. Beds comfortable. Dana checked us in and she was super friendly and helpful. Actually the whole staff was super friendly. Breakfast was good. Will definitely stay again.

Room is rundown and could use an upgrade on the cabinets but overall clean and spacious.

Perfect!!

Enjoyed my stay..clean professional on point

Very clean rooms, decent hot breakfast, fully stocked kitchenette in room. Very comfortable bed, hotel is in a nice quiet area. Would definitely recommend.

We have a child at the university and stayed here for a weekend visit. I had never been, but my husband had stayed years ago for a swim meet. He insisted I book here, though I wanted to stay at the Hilton. I was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the Staybridge! The staff was super friendly, and exceptionally efficient. The room was very spacious, and the little kitchen was perfect! The included breakfast was also excellent. I will stay here every visit to Columbia!

I enjoyed my stay at your hotel. It was clean and accommodating. Tamika was very helpful answering all my questions when I arrived. She greeted me upon arrival with enthusiasm and with great respect. There were others there who also made my stay enjoyable especially on Halloween Alex & Erica. I world certainly stay there again. Hotel was clean through and through. Shout out to the cleaning crew as well. Thanks

I will highly recommend this location to any anyone that is traveling
