It is a solid stay for the price.

This was my 2nd time staying here in the past year. Overall the price isn’t bad for the stay. Building itself needs some repairs. The room was good. Bathroom could have been cleaned better due to hair being left behind.

Check-in was easy, and the desk clerk friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed/pillows comfortable. I suggest that management add a towel ring or bar near the sink.

Lantern Inns is a very nice hotel. The staff was great. The only problem I had was that the handicap room had a regular tub/shower and that can be a problem to negotiate for someone with a handicap. Also, there was no shampoo and only one bar of soap. We were able to work around this as we were only there for that one night. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this hotel for its staff and its cleanliness.
