What guests think
At Lamplighter Motel - Clinton, Connecticut, reviews depict a no-frills, budget stop with many noting clean, quiet rooms and a convenient location near the shoreline and eateries, offset by dated interiors, small bathrooms, and limited on-site amenities.
Cleanliness is often praised but inconsistent, with some reporting stains, bathroom grime or pests, and housekeeping often not provided during multi-night stays. Rooms are basic and compact; AC and hot showers generally work, yet guests mention worn fixtures, missing holders or curtains, and occasional Wi‑Fi issues. Service ranges from friendly, easy check-ins to curt interactions and limited after-hours help. Overall, expect a simple, economical stay best for short, no-frills visits.

Lamplighter Motel is a nice stay. It has the basics required and they let you know at check in that they won't be cleaning your room during your stay. This was fine for us. Very clean, comfortable beds, basic bathroom and our room even had a small refrigerator. Room also has cable tv and the shower was great. The check in was easy and the lady at the desk was very nice. The price was great so if you're looking for high end or extra amenities stay somewhere else and pay for that. This was perfect for our two night stay and we would stay again. Very happy with our stay at Lamplighter.

As always, when in this area of CT. I stay at the Lamplighter. Close to the highway, easy walking distance to numerous restaurants. Always very clean, everything works and i did notice the new beds in my room, which were super comfortable. Extremely nice rooms for the price, with fridge and microwave. Shower, instant hot water and plenty of it. I love staying at the Lamplighter.

This is a 1950's motel that has been painted and repainted. This a bare minimum facility, but you can get a good night's sleep (price at $113 is high). The bed was good, and the air conditioning worked (barely). No breakfast. However, if you can see past these things, it was a good night's sleep, no bedbugs. Limited interface with the staff (sign in and given a key), On check in; provided information, handed a key and was told, when you leave, put it in the mailbox. While they had internet, I was not able to connect. The TV was a 720p so the shows from the standard High-res internet were blurry. But you can still enjoy the blurry shows. Bottom line, good sleep, overpriced for what you get, no services.

It seems inconsequential but spending $100 for a room that doesn’t even have a toilet paper roll holder is a bit much. Very basic amenities.

The room was adequate, clean and newly painted. But no amenities or decor. Rather stark. The carpeted floor was uneven. The plumbing sink and commode were ancient. The commode was very low. Not easy for seniors. AC/Heat was efficient but a bit noisy, as the bed was only a couple of feet away from the unit. Great for anyone looking for an economical motel in the area. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

I just wish the housekeeping would have come in and gave me fresh towels and sheets at least once. I stayed 5 nights, 5 days and to ask for a blanket was like I was bothering. And no curtains in the bathroom!

My family and I stayed at the Lamplighter Motel in Clinton, Connecticut, for one night on Friday, October 20, 2023. Despite being an older establishment, the motel is well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. The room, though small, was cozy and well-kept, reflecting the care and attention given to the property. The staff was friendly, and both check-in and check-out processes were quick and efficient. We also appreciated the ease of parking. The motel's affordability was a pleasant surprise, offering excellent value for money. The location of the motel is convenient, situated in the charming town of Clinton, which added to our overall positive experience. Based on our stay, we would highly recommend the Lamplighter Motel for its combination of comfort, value, and excellent location.

I enjoyed staying here. It's a small, simple place. It's very quiet. We arrived late because we decided last minute to stay overnight. I used the phone outside of the door to alert the clerk that I was there to check in. The owners live onsite. I believe I woke her up. I felt bad. She could not have been nicer. It was a great experience. I would not only recommend it, I will be staying there again.

My family and I stayed at the Lamplighter Motel in Clinton, Connecticut, for one night on Friday, October 20, 2023. Despite being an older establishment, the motel is well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. The room, though small, was cozy and well-kept, reflecting the care and attention given to the property. The staff was friendly, and both check-in and check-out processes were quick and efficient. We also appreciated the ease of parking. The motel's affordability was a pleasant surprise, offering excellent value for money. The location of the motel is convenient, situated in the charming town of Clinton, which added to our overall positive experience. Based on our stay, we would highly recommend the Lamplighter Motel for its combination of comfort, value, and excellent location.

A good location, basic room, clean, comfortable, not fancy. Value for what you get, and again, close to the Sound, shops, etc.

The room was adequate, clean and newly painted. But no amenities or decor. Rather stark. The carpeted floor was uneven. The plumbing sink and commode were ancient. The commode was very low. Not easy for seniors. AC/Heat was efficient but a bit noisy, as the bed was only a couple of feet away from the unit. Great for anyone looking for an economical motel in the area. Plenty of restaurants nearby.

It was only for 2 night stay Very clean ,Great air conditioner, mini fridge near restaurant,stores,gas station and more. The area was very quiet and nice. The owner was very kind. I gave it a 4 stars because there was no room service no coffee maker or microwave. but other than that I will totally recommend it.

This is a 1950's motel that has been painted and repainted. This a bare minimum facility, but you can get a good night's sleep (price at $113 is high). The bed was good, and the air conditioning worked (barely). No breakfast. However, if you can see past these things, it was a good night's sleep, no bedbugs. Limited interface with the staff (sign in and given a key), On check in; provided information, handed a key and was told, when you leave, put it in the mailbox. While they had internet, I was not able to connect. The TV was a 720p so the shows from the standard High-res internet were blurry. But you can still enjoy the blurry shows. Bottom line, good sleep, overpriced for what you get, no services.

This little roadside motel in Clinton, CT is quite bad. One waits with a phone outside to try to check in at night. The air in the room was stale, so one has to blast a wall-mounted AC unit just to get breathable air. The staff is very unfriendly and unwelcoming. It's like guests are an inconvenience. Do not stay at the Lamp Light motel in Clinton, Ct. There are other "cheap" motels along RT 1 (Boston Post Rd) in the area

Whenever I'm traveling thru Southern CT on business, the Lamplighter is my go to for staying over. Clean room. Comfortable bed, plenty of Hot Water, microwave and mini fridge, good TV. Reasonable price, close to the highway. Restaurants within walking distance. It has it all.

Do not walk, run. If you have no choice, throw a plastic tarp across the bed and hang your belongings in a bear bag from the ceiling. Tough to get comfortable in this place.
