The property was clean and quiet. The breakfast was always on time and the front desk was very helpful. They even pointed us to an excellent restaurant within walking distance of the hotel. On my next visit to the area will be going back to the Lamplighter. My daughter who visited the hotel also thought very highly of it.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised with the full kitchen in the room (full fridge, stove, microwave and a kitchen sink) with basic kitchen items. We only stayed there one night but we would stay there again.

I liked the easy parking and quiet, and the bed was extremely comfy. I just didnt like the cleanliness of the room itself, especially the bathroom, the shower curtain was broken, the tub was a bit dirty and there was some straggles of hair from somebody before us which i understand there is only so much cleaning staff can do i probably would've missed it too if it had been my job, it just made me feel alittle less comfortable to touch things you know what i mean.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the property, convenience to a few restaurants & SDSU campus, breakfast in the morning, size of our room (junior suite, I believe). Enjoyed a better than expected dinner right across the street at Dirty Birds sports bar too.

Room was smelly, which make our trip not pleasant. Bathroom was small and no space for sink inside. You have to wash your hands outside of bathroom. Otherwise was OK. Also the neighborhood was not very good.
