Paul, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was a nice place to stay with a good breakfast. Was nice and quiet and the room was all right.
Alan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I’d stay again

Pros: Our stay was great. We enjoyed the complementary breakfast each morning we were there. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool. Cleanliness and housekeeping services were impeccable. A++ Cons: the soundproofing between the first and second floor was not the greatest. The guests staying above us were heavy steppers. With that being said, I still give this an A+ place to stay.

Lamplighter for life!

I always stay at the Lamplighter when visiting my son at SDSU. It is immaculate, so well-maintained, and very affordable. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. Rooms are cleaned every day. Breakfast is simple but plenty (self-serve) The pool area is clean and comfortable, with extra towels and sun loungers, as well as chairs and a couple of tables under umbrellas. There’s a good Japanese restaurant right next door
