We chose the Lamplighter because of positive TA reviews and were not disappointed - it met and exceeded our expectations! The staff was so very friendly and welcoming, they greeted us with boxes of M&M's on arrival, which our kids loved. The room was large, clean, and well appointed. The pool is heated and well maintained, I liked that fresh... more

I've never stayed at a hotel before that ASKED you to review them on Trip Advisor. You know they must be confident! This place seemed out of the way on our GPS but we wanted a hotel close to downtown San Diego but not too pricey as we were traveling with my elderly mother who is handicapped and on a... more

We stayed in this hotel after reading the reveiws on Trip Advisor, it's convenient location to visit our son and we also get BW rewards points. After driving down the street to get to this hotel, I had second thoughts about staying there until we pulled into the driveway. WOW! It's very pretty and very clean. We even got welcome... more

Stayed here with my family during the last weekend in May. Booked after reading the wonderful reviews on Tripadvisor. The reviews were correct- the customer service was excellent. We stayed in a family suite (living room, kitchen, bedroom). The room was clean. The breakfast was perfect for the kids- they ate well (waffles, cereals, bagels, hot chocolate) every morning. The... more

This is a nice older motel. The staff are very accommodating and helpful, particularly the manager David. We had a comfortable and clean apartment with kitchen and separate bedroom (2 queen beds). The apartment had a flat screen tv in both the lounge room and bed room. Breakfast was in a room next to reception and was plentiful. There is... more

Recently my partner and I visited San Diego and decided to give this little gem of a hotel a try (its been rated in the top 10 on trip advisor forever and was less than $100 dollars a night with our AAA discount!) We were delightfully surprised. The property is well maintained, and the rooms are immaculately clean with nice... more

We stayed for one evening prior to our Cruise. It is a great little motel, well kept and very clean. We have stayed in some RCI Royal Crown resorts that were not kept up as well as this little gem. During our stay it also included breakfast. A little off the tourist area but if you have a car it... more

I was looking for a place my son and family could stay during their week vac. in S.D. The Lamplighter is the cleanest (and kept that way during the stay) motel/hotel I have seen and my family concurred. The service was above and beyond what I have experienced before in staying at hotels. I live in San Diego, so I... more

My wife and I staying at the Lighterlighter for 8 nights, combination of business and pleasure. This is upmarket "motel" type accommoadation of the very highest order. Most impressive is the level of service, friendliness and welcome provided by the General Manager, David, and the rest of his team. We have travelled worldwide and stayed in hotels of all levels,... more
