A clean cheap place to stay

The room was adequate, clean and newly painted. But no amenities or decor. Rather stark. The carpeted floor was uneven. The plumbing sink and commode were ancient. The commode was very low. Not easy for seniors. AC/Heat was efficient but a bit noisy, as the bed was only a couple of feet away from the unit. Great for anyone looking for an economical motel in the area. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

Property was convenient to Hammanassett Beach state park, however, the check in process was less than I expected, the room was adequate, however, the bathroom toilet did not flush !! There was no one available to ask for help with that after we checked in at 9 pm.

Sketchy place

Unfortunately, I checked in and then checked right out. The beds were haphazardly made. The sheets were very rough and uncomfortable. The door did not have an inside security lock which was my main issue and there were people that looked like they were more like residents than people staying for the night. I told the office person my issue with the inside lock and she gave me some strange answer about people being crazy and not being able to keep the lock on the door. I don’t know what that meant but it was so sketchy and I felt so uncomfortable. The place was very dated, but The towels were clean though. She did give me a refund for the second night, but told me the policy was that I didn’t cancel within 24 hours so the first night could not be refunded. I did show up so I kept my end of the bargain. I feel I should’ve gotten a full refund.

As always, when in this area of CT. I stay at the Lamplighter. Close to the highway, easy walking distance to numerous restaurants. Always very clean, everything works and i did notice the new beds in my room, which were super comfortable. Extremely nice rooms for the price, with fridge and microwave. Shower, instant hot water and plenty of it. I love staying at the Lamplighter.

Very Clean and Quiet 👍

It was only for 2 night stay Very clean ,Great air conditioner, mini fridge near restaurant,stores,gas station and more. The area was very quiet and nice. The owner was very kind. I gave it a 4 stars because there was no room service no coffee maker or microwave. but other than that I will totally recommend it.
