Didn't even get out of the car, outside just full off crack heads, absolutely filthy car park over grown. Just a horrible place. My work lads refused to stay and when I requested a partial refund the message was…

Questions about Lantern House
What time is check-in and check-out at Lantern House?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Lantern House allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Lantern House?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Lantern House have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Lantern House have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Lantern House?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
