Lamplighter Motel - Clinton, Connecticut

My family and I stayed at the Lamplighter Motel in Clinton, Connecticut, for one night on Friday, October 20, 2023. Despite being an older establishment, the motel is well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. The room, though small, was cozy and well-kept, reflecting the care and attention given to the property. The staff was friendly, and both check-in and check-out processes were quick and efficient. We also appreciated the ease of parking. The motel's affordability was a pleasant surprise, offering excellent value for money. The location of the motel is convenient, situated in the charming town of Clinton, which added to our overall positive experience. Based on our stay, we would highly recommend the Lamplighter Motel for its combination of comfort, value, and excellent location.

It’s a dumpy little motel. No iron, hair dryer, shampoo. It old, dirty and falling apart. Good water pressure though.

Liked location. Didn't like: Ground floor room, yet no blinds or curtains on bathroom window. Front window latches broken, anyone could slide window and climb in. No deadlock on front door, nor chain. Very poor repair for obvious damage to walls and doors. Not worth the price.

Customer service was horrible. Lady at the desk was miserable human

This is the 2nd year I've stayed at the Lamplighter. Still reasonably priced, still with a microwave and fridge, awesome air conditioner, beds were comfortable, shower worked great with plenty of hot water. Mostly a clean room, for some reason the bathroom windowsill had been cleaned in ages and the bathroom window didnt have a curtain. A back deck could look right in. Will certainly return and will make sure i bring a curtain, next time.

This is a 1950's motel that has been painted and repainted. This a bare minimum facility, but you can get a good night's sleep (price at $113 is high). The bed was good, and the air conditioning worked (barely). No breakfast. However, if you can see past these things, it was a good night's sleep, no bedbugs. Limited interface with the staff (sign in and given a key), On check in; provided information, handed a key and was told, when you leave, put it in the mailbox. While they had internet, I was not able to connect. The TV was a 720p so the shows from the standard High-res internet were blurry. But you can still enjoy the blurry shows. Bottom line, good sleep, overpriced for what you get, no services.

My estimate for the age of this property is somewhere between 50 to 70 years.We noticed that a popcorn ceiling was added circa 1970. Otherwise no improvements have been made. The Door to is exposed to the outside and could easily be opened with a credit card. It was also loosely installed. The bed lacked adequate padding material. We decided to check out immediately and return home. There was no one at the front desk. So we forfeited the night's room charge.

It was clean and met our budget, but it truly needs some repairs done.

Our room was literally filthy. Dust on everything, large cobwebs, dirty floors, bathroom with hair and dirt, and the sink was clogged. The sheets and blanket were short and the comforter and curtains were from the 70's and curtains falling off. It was appauling! I had to buy clorax wipes to clean the whole place inorder to stay there!!
