Decent place in a college neighborhood. Older, but fairly well kept. Pros: The staff was very cool and very helpful. Con: The TV situation is dismal. It's an older DirectTV system and I could only get about 5 channels, only political news shows, no local channels. I was there several days and it never improved. Another Con: even though the complex was fairly quiet, every single thing in my room made noise. The Heater/AC had an incessant ticking that affected my sleep, the toilet had a drip in the tank that could be heard from the bed, and the fridge was noisier than most. Even though I had a white noise machine, these things disturbed my ability to sleep in peace.

The location is very convenient, close to SDSU, and plenty of great restaurants close by. The service is great and the room is spacious, we enjoyed our stay here.

Very nice staff. Room and property were well keot and clean. Bedding, pilllows, and bed were very comfortable (I am picky.) I did not use the pool, but it appeared well kept as well. Many good restaurants within quick walking distance. I would recommend this motel especially if you are doing sonething at the university.

I was located close to the SDSU campus. Furnishings, carpet and decor could use an update. Beds were very comfortable. Nice, simple breakfast.

This was a basically quiet, convenient place to stay for our trip to San Diego. The biggest downside was the parking - yes the parking was included, but the spaces are small and if we came back later (10pm) there was no space for our minivan. Particularly as when we stayed there were many large SUV/Pickup trucks that parked crooked or over their lines. The staff was very good about it, but it is something to be aware of.If you have a smaller car that probably won't be an issue. Got door dash delivery no problem.

Clean, comfortable, convenient Love this cute little motel. I’ve stayed here 6 or 7 different times while my son was a student at SDSU. The Lamplighter Inn is consistently immaculate- honestly, the grounds and buildings are so well-maintained. The breakfast is basic but good, the laundry facilities, water dispenser,& vending machines are available 24/7 in a secure room next to the lovely, shaded pool area. Parking is plentiful and free. There are several good restaurants within easy walking distance
