“Misleading website”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

The lamplighter motel is nothing at all like their website. I was so dissapointed, it was like going back to the 1960's. Green ugly benches, brick walls, old dirty appliances, tv didnt work.

“Good but needs work”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2011

Come on guys, get the cheque book out. Stayed in room 45. Room was great and was very clean but needs upgrade like 5 years ago, however that's only cosmetic, I was happy with everything else except the hard bed but no Motel has soft beds anymore, just a sign of the times I guess. Will stay again.
