We, two adults and a nine years old child, stayed at the Lamplighter Inn on the 8th of July for two nights. Very nice Motel. Clean and on a street with little traffic. That means quiet a good condition for sleeping after a hard day of exploring San Diego. Very friendly staff. The guy at the reception gave us a... more

A really friendly hotel and fantastic value for money. The reception staff and manager were very chatty and helpful both when we checked in and throughout our stay. The hotel is not centrally located but, in the university area, it is within easy reach of downtown (15 minutes drive?). The plus here is that the area is quiet and well-equipped... more

We stayed for two nights at the Lamplighter Inn on the way to a wedding in Ensenada. I had read the good reviews of this hotel and wondered whether it would live up to them. I'm pleased to say that it did in every sense. From the time we arrived till the time we left, the staff could not have... more

This place was better than most Best Western hotels. We stayed for two nights and thought the whole property looked pretty nice.

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
