I stay here frequently when traveling from out of town to visit my daughter who is attending SDSU. It is very convenient to the university and provides good value compared to the other hotels located off of I-8. The staff welcomes me back each time I return and have been very helpful with directions to Costco and places to eat...

Cordial, helpful, considerate staff. Clean & accommodating -- Needed help with amenities following surgery -- all HC-accessible rooms already booked, so management provided step-stool to access tall beds, and provided a sturdy shower-chair for tub.
Only downside: no refrigerator in downstairs QQ rooms, cannot safely install in downstairs rooms.
Breakfast room remodel is planned, and that's good because this 1st...

Looking forward to good nights rest, guess what, desk attendant calls 12:30 am to advise me they undercharged me for the room an additional .05 was needed? What^ are you kidding me I was sleeping. Next morning manager was unapologetic and very arrogant. Add insult to injury, the breakfast nook was filthy dirty.

Dear MsMinnie2 - Are you sure you stayed at the Best Western Lamplighter Inn & Suites at SDSU in San Diego? I ask because what you describe is just not us. Our night staff has been with us for many years, are highly trained, and on their own, have good judgment and common sense. They would never call a guest...

My husband and I have stayed here many times over the past 5 years when we visit our family in the area, and we really like this place. The rooms are extremely clean. If it's available we try to get the mini-suite, which is comfortable and spacious with sofa, comfy chairs, microwave and fridge, and an excellent wi-fi connection. Overall,...

We stayed here for three nights. Overall, it was a pretty good hotel. I wouldn't recommend staying here without a car though (free parking!) as it is one mile from the nearest tram stop. The continental breakfast has pretty standard food, but there's lots of variety. Lots of recycling here, which is also nice.

Thank You for taking the time to write this review about your stay. I completely agree that a car makes it much easier to get around San Diego. And since we are conveniently located between two major freeways you can be downtown or at Sea World & Zoo within 15 to 20 minutes. We are currently in the process of...

Lamplighter met all my criteria for a good stay: the room was clean, quiet, didn't smell, and was well furnished. Ours had a kitchen area where we could make small meals and had all the essentials of cutlery, plates, etc. we needed. We didn't try the outdoor pool but I saw it be cleaned. The waffle maker wasn't in operation...

We have been staying at the BW Lamplighter Inn for nearly 10 years, when we visit our kids and grandkids. The staff is attentive and helpful and the owners really keep up with the maintenance. The landscaping is lovely - lots of flowers and much nicer than you would expect for the price. The beds are comfortable and they have...

I grew up in San Diego, and when I go back to visit friends and family, I stay at the Best Western.
It's centrally located, with easy Freeway access to all of San Diego's activities. Since we like to travel with Rock-It the dog, this is the perfect place dog friendly, and clean. The rooms are large and have all...
