Great staff, fun Tiki bar, and nice rooms. Comfortable bed, good size room, nice shower, and clean. Only real negative was that there was a lot of road noise all night long. (We did get an end room by the road.). Ear plugs might have come in handy.

Dear Guest, We have no intention to mislead our guests. Please see the text below I copied it from Travelocity.com specifically for "Lantern Inn & Suites" Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit are required at check-in for incidental charges.

The hotel was clean, although a bit dated. The check in process was smooth.

Clean room, comfortable bed, at a reasonable price

Pros: The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the location was perfect for us, and it was reasonably priced.
Location: There was a locally owned diner across the street to get a decent breakfast at great prices.
The hotel sign says the place is under new management and that rooms are being renovated. The room we had was fine. It was clean, the bed was reasonably comfortable, and it was conveniently located for us. It is NOT fancy, it doesn't have a ton of amenities, so you will be disappointed if that is what you expect.

remodeling Mess/outdated

Pictures on web misleading and not the hotel. They were in a Remodel mess with mattresses piled high outside. The room had an outdated refrigerator that was leaking all over the floor. The room was clean and neat with tile floors. The vanity had a nice top but then no cabinet doors and looked like a poorly painted handmade cabinet. the gutters were overflowing with a steady stream falling down.
