This place is clean and perfect for a short stay. Was worried about being by the airport because of the constant flight noise but they supply ear plugs but really, once in your room you hardly even hear anything. The pool is nice & even though they had a bar on sight, we didn't have the chance to use it. The staff is very nice and welcoming. Would stay here again.

Be prepared for noise. The location is densely populated, with road traffic and a nearby airport. That said, it was well lighted and we felt safe during the entire stay

The whole stay was great from check in to check out. The room was immaculate and comfortable. We went to the onsite tiki bar and the bartender was personable and when he dint have what I wanted (he did say he had a bottom shelf liquor for the drink I wanted but it wasn’t the best) he whipped me up a drink based on the type I wanted to drink. I will be back in the area in a month and will definitely stay there again.

We only stayed one night to catch a flight the next morning. The room was spotless.This is a rwo star hotel, but it was cleaner than many 3 or 4 star hotels I've been to! Although it is next to the airport, when you are inside your room, it is quiet. Did not disturb our sleep at all.

The lobby and entry are an eyesore! It made a poor first impression to a place that was supposed to be rated 9.0.The grounds are not well kept at all. Small changes would make the hotel a lot more acceptable. The room was clean and well appointed.

We stayed at the lantern Inn for four nights and completely satisfied. It looked newly remodeled, and the beds were comfy. Only issue we had is trying to figure out the remote for the TV, so different from what we’re used to. All staff members were very friendly.

the door didn't fit properly, you could see daylight on the bottom and since it sits right on the highway it was VERY loud traffic noise, not possible to get a good night's sleep.

Check in was a breeze. We were sent a text to get it all going so that when we got to the hotel, the gentleman just had to confirm a couple of things and hand over the keys. We stayed 4 days and were quite comfortable. The room had been recently updated, spotless, and comfortable. My only issues with the room was that there wasn’t blackout shades so the light right outside lit up the whole room at night and the metal platform beds were a bit noisy if you just brushed up against them. Otherwise, no problem at all. We felt safe in the area and there were cameras everywhere. It was quiet even with being off a main road and only a couple miles from the airport. We didn’t get a chance to check out the tiki bar but will make sure we do next time.
