Lamplighter Inn & Suites

Good location

Location

I was met with outright hostility by the front desk operator who literally told me to go back to my room when I noted the following problems, hoping for a change of room and a fresh cup of coffee: no available Internet in the room, broken, shagging, shower, curtain rod, no non-decaf coffee, broken elevator with no sign. The front desk was closed at 9 PM and vague instructions were given to enter by a back door with the key card, which was difficult to find. I was told the hotel was "in transition" and when I asked what the transition was, the attendant would not tell me. Funniest experience I've had in a while.

The hotel is centrally located and close to eateries, brewing company and other places to check out.

We were on a motorcycle trip and after a long day of riding, we were looking forward to relaxing and hanging out in the spa, only to find out it didn't work. This was the whole reason we picked this hotel, because it had a spa and pool. We asked for pool towels, this would have been the time to tell us the spa was not working. We didn't find out until we got to the spa.

The location is great especially for easily walking into downtown San Luis Obispo.

Checking in I had to wait 35 minutes before anyone was at the desk and there was no one at the front desk when I checked out even though I waited about 15 minutes. Low staffing levels aren't ideal for a stay

Walkable to many restaurants
