We stayed here during the infamous Comicon weekend. I state this, because it was used a few times as an excuse for things that were not right (not getting the room we requested, our room card not working after check-in, no parking left in the parking lot) and it didn't really make sense. Certainly there are other times the hotel... more

We booked our stay at the Lamplighter Inn based on Trip Advisor reviews! We had decent expectations but not over the top due to the great rate we received. It was my husband and myself traveling with our toddler for our first official family vacation. From the minute we pulled into the parking lot, we felt safe and at home.... more

i stayed here at the end of june for 5 days and have to say that i loved it! Now if you are expecting a 5 star hotel, please rethink your travel plans! But for a place that feels like home, with a great staff you can not go wrong staying here. The rooms are of good size, the breakfast... more

I came here earlier this year with my girlfriend solely based on tripadvisor reviews..and the fact that we were curious how, especially at this price, this little place was so high up the rankings. And, as usual, consistently good reviews come shining through. Such a pleasant wonderful, personal place to stay. And for the price, wow. more

We booked this superb little Hotel on the strength of previous reviews on Tripadvisor. What a GEM! Rates were very reasonable. Our party 2 x adults and 1 x child (14) had a mini king suite with a fold out double setee bed. Rooms were immaculate with mini kitchen with a fridge and microwave. Small pool area was 'spick &... more

From the moment I called to reserve the room to the moment I checked out I felt like I was family. They treated me and my family like we were important and the only ones there. They remembered our names, our room number and made sure our stay was relaxing and convenient. Every morning--and sometimes the evenings too--I walked into... more

Our famiy and I booked this room based solely on the reviews. I couldn't believe a little motel could get such high ratings but I knew there had to be a good reason...trip advisor has always been good to us. First, let me start by saying their staff is great. They are very friendly and helpful. I booked with a... more

We stayed at the Best Western Lamplighter Inn and Suites for six nights in late June '08. Our choice was based solely on "Tripadvisor" ratings, following a very last minute change in our vacation plans (flying in from Vancouver BC). I can say unequivocally that we do not regret our decision. This is a small but well managed establishment. Rooms... more

Got a bum-steer from Trip Advisor on this one! Because it was rated #2 in San Diego, we decided to give it a try but were sorely disappointed. I would suggest to others contemplating a stay here to do so if saving $ is your ONLY and I mean ONLY criteria. The parking is extremely cramped. If you arrive late,... more
