Cheaply priced. Nicer then other places I've stayed
This is one of the greatest places ever. Everyone please stay here... I love the owner's.
I needed a cheap, clean bed and this place delivered. A little cosmetic damage here and there to the room I had but nothing that distracted from a pleasant stay. Nice people too. Cheapest in the area and the wifi actually works, you just have to ask for it. Very retro.
Fair establshiment, heated system is well not great.
The staff was very nice including the owners but I couldn't control the heat and the shower head also was uncontrollable so water went everywhere. The walls are thin so I heard the men next door make threats they would somehow set me up and soon the male owner came in telling me I have been throwing things into the toilet and I had to leave the next day.
I Love staying here at the place it's better then the dang on Holiday inn. The management is so nice and kind. I fly all the way from Los Angeles,CA when I come home to visit I always have to stay at the Lamplighter because it's so comfortable and peaceful. I refer everyone to please at least come here and try it out it's a good place to be a comfort and to rest your mind. And also very clean must I say... A 10star in my book ... I Love staying here
