When is the best time to go to Lyon Street?

During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, making it ideal for exploring the area on foot. You'll find comfortable temperatures for walking along Lyon Street, which is predominantly residential with well-maintained sidewalks and mature trees providing natural shade. This allows for a relaxed pace whether you're heading to the nearby parks or local shops. Couples looking for a comfortable and relaxed getaway will appreciate these seasons. The mild weather creates a pleasant setting for strolls and enjoying the local cafes without the intense heat of summer or the chill of winter.

Top Lyon Street Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia NE/Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff with fresh coffee 24/7."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Columbia, SC

10/10 Excellent

"I have to say after spending a miserable night at the motel 6 a few exists down this was a refreshing change and ONeil at the front desk was kind enough to slide me a room with an old school jacuzzi in it. That was very nice of him and it was a very positive experience. The morning breakfast was ok they forgot eggs though. lol. They had hot home fries and sausage but no eggs. Good experience overall and thanks O’Neil, you were awesome"

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Marriott Columbia

8/10 Good

"My room was not clean when I arrived. There were crumbs on the floor between the bed and the window. Additionally, the base on the floor lamp was coated in dust. When my room was cleaned on Day 2, the cleaning didn't make sense. The toilet seat was up indicating the toilet had been cleaned. However, the towels had not been removed, the bed was not made, and the garbage had not been made."
