Overall Score4.0/ 5
My stay at the Lamplighter was really nice and enjoyable. The cleaning service is impeccable and the desk reception is fantastic and they helped me solve problems that I had with my trip. The morning breakfast is really good and they have free coffee and tea and cold water dispenser all day long. The pool and the laundry room are indispensable! It was a wonderful weekend and experience!
