Top Swansea Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and check in staff were helpful and friendly! "

Baymont by Wyndham Columbia Northwest

2/10 Terrible

"I hated this place…let me count the ways…the floors were dirty…they were out of soap and toilet tissue… there was intermittent wi/fi connection so it was almost impossible to watch tv because it just kept buffering. The outside grounds were littered and not cleaned up during my stay. The breakfast was a joke. They had a 4 slice toaster but only 2 sides worked and it only toasted one side, you had to flip it over to get the other side toasted. It is a nice facility with great potential but obviously a management problem."

The Lantern Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"My recent stay at the Lantern Hotel in Columbus, South Carolina was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the manager and his team made me feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness and professionalism set the tone for the entire experience. What makes this hotel even more special is the heart behind it. The owner built the Lantern as an inspiration to his daughter, who has a slight disability, and created a place where young women and men can learn, grow, and work with dignity. That mission shines through in every detail — the atmosphere, the service, and the pride the staff takes in their work. It wasn’t just a hotel stay; it was an uplifting experience. I left feeling grateful, inspired, and eager to return. Mindi Lane"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Columbia, SC

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the breakfast was tasty. But the STAR of the place was the front desk clerk named Tre ( i am not sure if the spelling). She went above and beyond. She was very friendly, accommodating, helpful, humorous and made the stay more than worthwhile. "

What is the best area to stay in Swansea?

The best area to stay in Swansea is near its downtown core, particularly along Main Street and its immediate surroundings.
