Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:

"Urban Tropical Oasis near SDSU."

Overall Score5.0/ 5

The staff at this property are top notch. Highlights are pool and landscaping of the property. If you are lucky enough to visit when the Jasmine is blooming, it is heavenly. Good, clean accommodations and basic breakfast included.

"Comfortable, enjoyable, convenient location, welcoming."

Overall Score4.0/ 5

My stay at the Lamplighter was really nice and enjoyable. The cleaning service is impeccable and the desk reception is fantastic and they helped me solve problems that I had with my trip. The morning breakfast is really good and they have free coffee and tea and cold water dispenser all day long. The pool and the laundry room are indispensable! It was a wonderful weekend and experience!

"Clean Rooms with Free Parking and Breakfast."

Overall Score5.0/ 5

I have stayed here a number of times. Staff is always friendly and the rooms are clean. I always love free parking and breakfast. We also love Dirty Birds which is a bar and grill right across the street. We will be back soon.

"Friendly and Accommodating Staff"

Overall Score5.0/ 5

Very comfortable stay and the lady on the desk was very helpful with some room accommodations that kept us on the ground floor. My husband has back issues and climbing stairs with luggage would not have been enjoyable.
