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.

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.

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!

Every thing needs updated and remodeled!! Very poor layout and the yards and parking/driveway needs work. Never returned my call even though the machine said they would! Would not stay again.

Nice clean place in Bandon

The room was very clean. We appreciated all the electrical plugs as usually in hotel rooms there are never enough. We also liked the whale-themed artwork throughput. It was also fairly soundproof, as we could not hear our neighbors through our walls. The sound of the highway was there but was somewhat drowned out by the fan. Ice machine didn't work.

Sorry but old town Bandon is not walking distance for your average retiree not to mention a fortysomething. Adequate facility short of my expectations.

Be prepared for LOTS of Contacting!

The room, location & value were good. The amount of texting from VACASA was so annoying!!! Way too much! Not needed!
