Jun 29, 2026There were ball tournaments in the area and hotel stays were pricing out at $260-350 a night and we weren't about to pay that amount. We were traveling and just needed to sleep so we were looking for clean and safe. That's exactly what we found. :) The hotel is not new but it was very clean and smelled wonderful. I've been in big chain hotels that were not nearly as clean. We travel a lot and Mariot or Holiday Inn Express are 2 of our favorites. There was no musty old carpet smell like you sometimes run across in hallways. We could tell the staff gives a lot of TLC and take pride in their work. We spoke with 2 staff members and both were very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend the Lantern and would stay there again in the future.
6/10 Good
Bruce
Sep 11, 2025It was very basic, but it was clean, everything worked and the staff was pleasant. The shower was hot, the cable worked and place was quiet. But just to repeat, it's basic. It's good for a place to crash for the night and then head off to where ever your going. Would stay there again if in the area.
8/10 Very good
Patricia
Jan 21, 2026You get what you pay for. My husband and I love we have a place to crash for a night or two. It has clean comfortable rooms and beds. We have stayed a few times and will probably stay again. My only criticism is they advertise continental breakfast, which I don’t expect much but coffee is a must. Even after I told the employee the machine was out of coffee it wasn’t filled.

Mar 14, 2026I have a service animal. That was no problem. They would probably charge for pet normally, clean room easy access. Good price,The only thing that was disappointing was the breakfast. But it's so reasonable it didn't really matter to me.

Aug 27, 2025Check in was quick and easy. Getting directions was a bit difficult due to a language barrier. The jey needs to be pulled out of the room door about an 1/8-1/4 inch before it'll turn to unlock the door.
For the price, its a great room in a great location. I'd definitely stay agin.
