We had been camping for a few days so the motel seemed luxurious. The room was large and had a fridge and microwave. The bathroom was clean. The receptionist was helpful and friendly and we had a lovely swim in the pool to cool off. They need to replace the armchair though, I nearly fell through it. Not fancy but... More

AKA, the Weston Lamplighter Motel. Since we live a day's drive from Vernal, I'll have to admit that we've stayed here twice on our way south to thaw out in the spring. But when I walk in, BIG SIGH, my mind flashes-back to our early marriage, tight budget days. Don't get me wrong, I still have a thrifty gene for... More

Worst hotel during our 4 week USA trip. High rates. Low value. 30 yr. old rooms / furnishing / sanitary equipment. Dimly and mouldy. Next time we will better sleep in the car.

As a family of six, it can be a little harder to find a room with less than a week's notice, especially in Vernal, apparently. We tried all the major motels with no luck, then called the Lamplighter (since they don't seem to have a website). They had a few rooms left and we got one for a little over... More

Well, the good thing about an oil boom is that they've invested in keycard locks on the doors, with a deadbolt feature. The mattresses have not been upgraded, but the ones in my room weren't unsleepable during my forced 2-week stay. They weren't great, but they weren't the worst I've dealt with. If you stay here & have chemical sensitivities,... More

We planned a two-night trip to Vernal with four adults. We booked at the Lamplighter hotel for those two nights. We weren't expecting a four star hotel, but for the price we figured it should be a decent nights sleep...WRONG! At one point or another during the night, each of us considered sleeping on the floor or in the car.... More
