We drove by looking for a place to stay with our small Yorkie and I saw "Pet's OK" on the sign. I kept driving to scope out the town and as soon as we got to the end of Astoria we turned right back around. There are a few other small motels on the way back so we weren't sure... More

The office closes at 10pm and that's it. If you're not there by 10pm you don't get in your room. A friend of mine had this happen to him and h ended up having to pay for a room at another hotel when his flight was delayed. It seems to me that in a service business they would make allowances...

To begin with, we noticed right away there was a SERIOUS drip from the bathroom faucet. The floor around the sink was sticky. The age of the motel was obvious in the thinness of the walls and in the smoke that drifted in from several people smoking right outside the rooms. The thing that impacted our night the most was...

We arrived in Astoria late at night and checked around a few different places for pricing. Ended up at the lamplighter motel. The front desk lady was awesome, and cut us a deal. We were expecting the typical odd smelling old motel, but were pleasantly surprised. Room was very clean, and the bed wasn't the most uncomfortable thing ever. More

My family stayed here in August and enjoyed it. It's the old motel feeling, but the price was very cheap and our room slept 5 comfortably! The free soup at dinner was an odd touch but once we tried it we loved it. More

We were in our Oregon Coast trip when we arrived to Astoria. This was by far, the best rate we found. Pretty far from downtown, that´s not an issue. You have a diner place very close to the motel. More

Found it overpriced for the room. The room they put us in was surrounded by a group of people that were travelling together so when we got there, there were several people congregrated outside our room smoking and yapping. We asked to be moved but since we were already in the room, it was a no go. The manager knew... More

We recently traveled for 2 weeks in the Pacific Northwest, in a motel or hotel every night, and this motel was the poorest quality for the price of any we encountered. Very disappointing since it does have a good location. More

Traveled up to Astoria to do two days of Razor clamming at Ft. Stevens. This was a PERFECT location. Pig and Pancake was right next door. This motel was clean and neat, inexpensive, friendly staff, free complementary soup and stew in the evening and a continental breakfast in the morning...coffee available in the office, as was fresh fruit. It's an... More

Spent the night in Astoria, initially arriving with hopes of camping at one of the many state parks. However, Mother Nature and her apparent monsoon season soon dashed those plans. We were looking for an inexpensive, yet clean, motel that offered in room wi-fi and happened upon the Lamplighter. The desk clerk was very friendly and our room was clean.... More
