Lamplighter Motel | Hotel in Clearlake, California

“Good, crazy”

“My family of 4 stayed at this motel for Fathers Day weekend. Please note, you get what you pay for. When we booked this location, we knew it wasn't the best but it was affordable and it had amenities that our family could utilize; decent rooms, a swimming pool, a bbq area, and a nice pier to fish off of. Well, for starters, our room was covered in flies, the floor felt and looked dirty; I didn't realize how dirty until I looked at the bottom of our feet; our socks were black. It's a concrete building so the room was super musty, but the AC helped. In the middle of the night, we hear scratching coming from the bathroom, we checked and didn't see anything, but could hear it. Well, it was coming from the bathtub! There was a rat or other critter living inside the tub and sounded like it was trying to get out, so that was very disturbing. The pool was foggy and didn't look clean, the pier was very dirty and not maintained, and the bbq area didn't look like it had been kept up to use. And to top it all off, the water at Clearlake is DISGUSTING. Overall, you get what you pay for.”

“Had to move rooms three times:”

“The wasn't a spa, room was clean, bed was comfortable and the view along the lake was beautiful. It's a budget motel so don't expect bells and whistles but it's a totally decent place to stay. ”

“We will definitely come back. I got what I expected: a clean room, great location at a reasonable price. Cons: Some towels had black stains, some of the furniture was oversize in the room and our mattress pad cover had stains on it. There definitely is some maintenance that could be done to improve the property. Pros: location location location! It was RIGHT on the lake but better: the Highlands Park was a quick walk and we caught 9 fish rather quickly (we are catch and release). The room was CLEAN (except as noted above), it smelled clean. The bed was comfortable. They had a mini fridge & a microwave. Also there's a neat little restaurant (Trejo's) a quick walk down the street. We slept great (even though it's on the main street we didn't hear much noise). The only real awkward thing that happened is at check in there wasn't an office to walk into, the employee was working in one of the rooms and came down to check us in. I would have expected a more formal 'office' setting. I hope you consider my comments and book a stay here. We will be back. ”
