We booked 2 rooms which were at opposite ends of the hotel. Both were extremely musty smelling. Not sure how to get rid of that terrible smell but to remove the carpet and repaint. Staff were great though.

Good affordable location near SDSU. Off a main artery so traffic was constant. Rain prevented use of the pool ( which looked very clean & well kept). Staff was wonderful. Towels were fluffy & plentiful. Good bed, clean room, very good shower with good pressure . Wished there was a door on the shower room. Wi-Fi & tv worked well.

Had a great stay at the Lamplighter. Staff were super friendly. Nice pool, and breakfast buffet was good to have for the extended stay. Conveniently located near SDSU campus.

When looking on Google Maps, the area looks kind of weird, but when I got there, it was great. Very safe, I never felt like I was in danger at all, especially as a female staying alone. Everything was walkable and if not, it was just a 5-15 min Uber drive away. Perfect location, and I have every intention of staying here again the next time I'm in town!

The hotel is convenient to the SDSU campus. It is nothing fancy, but offers everything I need on a trip: a clean room, good internet, and decent breakfast in the morning, all at a good value.

Good with some let down
I prepaid and it was Christmas and I needed a room with an oven. That is a rare thing these days. The room I got was significantly smaller than what was shown online and way overpriced for what it turned out to be. It has a small kitchen, but the oven worked and our turkey fit. It came with an average of 3 place settings and some random cooking utensils and pans. I cooked a Christmas dinner and it turned out pretty good. It probably would have been easier had we been camping. Sarah (I think was her name) at the front desk was fantastic! She is genuinely friendly and helpful.. Unfortunately, the problems we had were out of her control. Nevertheless, her attitude made it all easier to accept. A dose of holiday spirit, and we moved on. It isn't horrible, but it Llü sure isn't what they advertise or what they charge for it. I won't be back unless I find myself in desperate need of a small, dated overpriced motel room with an oven.

Excellent hotel, very nice staff, close to SDSU.
I has an event at Viejas Arena at SDSU. This hotel was the closest/nicest reasonably priced option I could find on Hotels.com. The hotel staff were super friendly and very helpful during check in. The grounds were nice, the room was very nice. The kitchenette was convenient and the shower/toilet were separated by a door which is nice. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, with lots of dining options within walking distance. I would happily stay here again. Happy Trails!
