Top South Carolina State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews
Gallus Stadium Park Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"It’s was good but the water could have been a little bit hotter"
The Lantern Columbia
10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I recently stayed at The Lantern in Columbia, SC, and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. From the convenient valet service to the comfortable room and excellent location, the hotel exceeded our expectations. We arrived late Thursday afternoon and were able to pull directly up to valet parking. The service was especially convenient, with a text allowing us to track our vehicle and conveniently provide a tip. Check-in was equally seamless and took only a few minutes. Our room was cozy, exceptionally clean, and comfortable. One small detail we especially appreciated was the bathroom door—a real, solid door that actually provided privacy! After several recent hotel stays with barn-style or partially transparent doors, this was a welcome change. Just outside our room was a coffee station with a distilled-water fountain for refilling the room’s water carafe, along with small bags of ice in freezer drawers. These thoughtful touches were very convenient. We also enjoyed the bar at Ladder 13. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and breakfast offered an excellent selection with food that did not disappoint. The location was another highlight. After our niece’s Army graduation at Fort Jackson, we left our vehicle with valet parking and explored the neighborhood on foot, enjoying great coffee at a nearby boutique shop and sharing oysters at a restaurant just up the street. Overall, we had a wonderful stay."
Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista
10/10 Excellent
"We loved the ease of getting there - the on-site parking - the buffet breakfast and the amazing location. Room was clean. Would love a nite-light in the bathroom - room was totally dark with lights off and bathroom across the room from the bed and door to bath was glass so light shines thru during the night. Aside from that, just loved everything the hotel and staff had to offer - would totally stay there again."

It was very comfortable, and the location was perfect—very central and convenient. It was an ideal place for us to spend time together and enjoy such a special occasion as a family. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend it."
