The Lamplighter is an oasis near the San Diego State. My wife and I stopped in here for a night and found chocolates on the pillow - what a tradition long gone. more

After researching the many over priced hotels in San Diego my partner and I decided to give this spot a try. The reviews spoke highly of the staff and the cleanliness of the property and boy were they right! We truly enjoyed our stay there. The room was absolutely spotless and the staff was happy to accomodate our needs. Some... more

We asked for a quiet room and were allocated a room on the second floor [US term] right at the end of the site, next to the recreation field behind, and this was ideal for us. This is a good value motel on a long narrow site on two levels with enough car parking space. We felt quite safe walking... more

I chose the Lamplighter based on proximity to business I had in the area and the Tripadvisor comments. I had limited expectations based on the price and ended up being pleasantly surprised. Had a standard room and it was absolutely spotless. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows soft. There was a comfortable chair to sit in with an... more

Stayed here during a 2 month roadtrip around USA & Canada with my girlfriend. Saw this motel on Tripadvisor & gave it a go as it looked good value. The motel itself is just above average i would say, nothing extra special. The fact it is No.6 on Tripadvisor says more about the rest of the places available to stay... more

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your review about your recent stay at our hotel. We appreciate hearing from all of our guests. TripAdvisor measures only one thing, guest satisfaction. It is not a measure of luxury or location. On TripAdvisor, an economy hotel can score very well and a luxury hotel can score poorly. It is clearly displayed on...

I travel to San Diego several times a year on business and have stayed at many hotels to qualify my contribution . And, by far the Best Western Lamplighter Inn was the nicest and most comfortable hotel meeting travel expence limit of less that $100/night. The office manager Len went of his way to make sure that I was dialed-in... more

I wanted to take my wife and 2 young boys to the San Diego zoo, and was floored by the hotel prices. A historic place like Hotel del Coronado might be worth $250+, but I couldn't understand why so many regular places were $180 and more? We just needed a safe/clean/pleasant place to rest our heads for a night, and... more

Very friendly service. Cozy and super clean rooms. Given the many truly lousy places where you can end putting your head to sleep in San Diego, this is the place to be ... provided you have a car. Because the location is far off from downtown and the usual places of interest. You really cannot find good restaurants in a... more

The room was clean. The bed very comfortable. No backache. The A/C fan stayed on all the time. No on and off to wake me up. The staff was friendly and helpful. Told us about a Chinese restaurant and printed out a map. The welcome key packet had a list of restaurants within walking distance. The breakfast was good. Cereal,... more
