Whale room at the Lamplighter Inn

This room was perfect for our Anniversary coast trip!!! Private and cozy!!! Our only suggestion would be possibly an extra set of towels would've been amazing, other than that the room was super clean and perfect for us ❤️

Tiny and adorable.

It was clean and comfortable and just what we needed after a lot of traveling. Super tiny but the cutest place we stayed all week. Loved it.

Great,clean room, comfortable bed,at a fantastic price.

This is our second time at the lamplighter Inn, and we love it there. We don’t even look anywhere else. The rooms are decorated so nicely, the beds are comfortable. It’s quiet there. It would be nice to have a few more coffee pods for our stay. But there is a really great drive up coffee place 30 second drive from the motel.

It felt like a bedroom!

I really didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised! The way it's furnished, it makes you feel like you're in a bedroom. Everything was clean, bright and cheery. Now I know where I'll be staying when I return.

Great affordable spot

Was nice and clean. All the basics to hang your hat. Was confused a little by the automated self-check in and no onsite management (it looks like a motel that would have this) until I downloaded the app to get the door code. Then was GTG.

Experience

We had seen negative reviews regarding, the check in process and noise at the building so we were hesitant to book this location. Our experience was good however. The only interaction was with the housekeepers. They were pleasant and helpful each time. It was quiet and DEFINITELY clean. We would stay again!

The room is decent for the price but there are no amenities to speak of. The lock on the door is difficult to operate and there isn't anyone on the property to help.

The room is clean and quiet, but getting in was a challenge. The lock on the door didn't work with the code that was given and there's nobody there to assist so I had to call an 800#. I wouldn't stay there again.

NO ONSITE CHECK IN

Not much. It was more than adequate but nothing to love. Having to sit in the car and spend half an hour (a) figuring out HOW to check in, and (b) checking in was a real downer.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Room looks nothing like the photos and is incredibly dated, smells awful, has no AC. Despite the industry standard being an 11:00am check-out they refuse to offer a checkout later then 10:00am. The customer service staff was very rude and inhospitable. I've heard horror stories about Vacasa managed proprieties before. This is my first time staying in one and I can say without doubt this will be my last. Bed was incredibly uncomfortable and the walls are paper thin.
