"If 10 stars were available, I would gladly select. This unique property is in a great location, well maintained and overall a fantastic find. The staff welcomed us and seemed genuinely happy to assist. The location was close to Gervais which had amazing options for shopping and dining. Our room was immaculate, the bedding and bed itself were very comfortable and the décor was inviting. It was a very pleasant surprise to have a coffee/water station on each floor. I would definitely recommend The Lantern Hotel to anyone who is traveling to the area. You will not be disappointed."
