They stole my deposit over towels being dirty from cleaning up constant leaking shower. The room service stole money off my dresser and after I addressed it they said they are keeping my $100 deposit. Not to mention they are infested with roaches. We failed to read the review and already prepaid for an entire week. Please don’t make the same mistake we did!!! Read the reviews!!!!

Our room reeked with cigarette smell and made my family have to vacate the room that same night. Was unable to get a refund. Please please do not stay here if you want a nice experience. I’ve also never had to write a review before that was so unsavory but I had to make sure other people knew to stay away.

Upon checking into my room, my room is actually a catch off for old furniture, and as soon as I walk through the door, a cobweb went across my face. How can a hotel send a gas to a room that hasn’t been attended to in weeks and was storing other furniture. The staff was clueless and shocked so I immediately requested a refund and they told me they couldn’t refund me that I had to go through Expedia which I did. The Expedia team member was very helpful and promising me that I would get fully refunded for my troubles. I usually don’t give bad reviews, but this whole situation was disgusting.

While the Lamp Liter is quite “vintage” it’s nice and clean. The staff is delightful. Check in was seamless. I had a lower floor room with a parking access door and a second door to the courtyard. There is a nice pool, I was there in January so didn’t swim. The courtyard is home to some stray cats….. and they make insane noises at night! While I was quite alarmed at first I found it kinda humorous.

The Expedia info says restaurant and limited room service. The restaurant is closed and boarded up and there is no room service. It says housekeeping daily. They only did housekeeping every 3 days. I requested that they at least bring in towels daily and it did not happen. There were only 2 tiny trash cans in the room so the food trash was pretty gross after 3 days and the dumpsters were locked so we could not take it ourselves. I feel that due to all the misinformation a partial refund should be issued.

Unfortunately, it took about 10 minutes for anyone to come to the font desk to check us in and it wasn't even 8:30 p.m. yet. The channel on the tv could not be changed in our room. My son spotted cockroaches in the room and he woke up with a big bite on his neck from some sort of insect. This is the fourth time my daughter has stayed at the establishment and unfortunately we will not be coming back after this stay.

Property is old, our rooms needed painting or wall cleaning, that was disguised by very poor lighting. The air conditioning was okay, just not quite cool enough. Due to the poor lighting, all grooming and preparation had to be done at the sink. The water pressure was great in the shower, the floors seemed clean, the staff was helpful and friendly. Parking was close and available and it was close to the convention center.

Very disappointed
In the past has been very good. Under new management. Restaurant closed no notification (one of its draws). No maid service from Wed to Sun. Not towel changes had to go get our own. No trash pick up Wed-Sun. The two people who worked the front desk were very professional. You could tell they get and deal with a lot of complaints. Two roaches on bathroom counter on different days and several bugs in bathroom. Positive-the beds were clean and comfortable though we made them every morning.

The property looks beautiful and welcoming, but the room was horrible. The room smelled of bleach, there was only a tiny bathroom window and the AC did not work. the room had a sliding glass door that would not open. It was so bad that we did not stay the whole night and went to another place.

The bar and grille that is advertised is closed. Also, the sliding glass doors are locked so that you cannot open them. The entire place is under construction, but this was not mentioned on the website. The railing in front of our guest room was too high so that our toddlers could have fallen through the bottom.

It's a very old property built in the 60's. Air conditioning was not controllable. The staff was excellent. The pool was huge and looked wonderful but we didn't have the chance to use it. For the price it was definitely acceptable.

We picked the motel because it said breakfast was included and that there was a restaurant on property... neither was true! Carpet in room was stained... pillows were too soft & small... all else was satisfactory !

I really wanted to like our stay here. We were traveling on a budget with kids and I thought a basic hotel would be a good option for us. The grounds are beautiful. Well kept gardens and we liked the pool. Unfortunately we found the rooms to be hot, dingy, and dated. The ceiling fan didn’t work and the walkway smelled of cat pee (several feral cats are on the grounds. ) The restaurant is closed and there was no continental breakfast which is fine. It just meant we spent as little time as possible actually at the hotel. There were also several sketchy people hanging out in the parking lot at all hours. The stay wasn’t terrible but we wouldn’t stay here again.

Vintage Travel Inn Experience
Positive experience / stays several times over the years. Reasonably priced, fairly maintained, secure rooms; many with nice garden & pool views. I enjoy walking the 2 miles up Main St. to downtown (or a 5 minute drive). If you like old school, this Inn hits the mark. I hope the new operators continue their efforts to maintain & improve this landmark lodging.
