Lamplighter Motel

Ron at the front desk was unwilling to help a young couple who were paid guest for over a week. They needed an hour and a half past check out to pay for the next couple nights and he said «no, it’s time for them to move on». I even offered to pay by credit card and he said «no, we don’t do that and hung up on me!» This is how you treat guests and paying guest with a credit card???
The rest of the staff that they dealt with her nice and accommodating. Thanks to RON, I would stay far away from this place and move on down the road!

I checked in on a Sunday nite and So I told the lady at the front desk that I work the next day so I might be a little bit late after check out but I will pay for the room another nite. well they called me and I said yes I was gonna rent another nite, well I ended up passing out at work and ended up in the hospital being unconscience and my daughter called them after she realized where all my stuff was on the third day and the staff the manager was the rudest person ever and told her they through it all in the dumpster, and to deal with her own bullshit, she also w I uldnt tell us who the owner was and said she was the manager and refused to give us her name. All she kept saying was deal with your own bullshit. so I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone not only did she throw my stuff out, when we first got there the room has a snotty tissue on the table and it was a ratty torn down place stain in the carpets and not clean, but I can over look all the wear a d tear it’s the attitude and rudeness that we shouldn’t have to so please stay anywhere but there they don’t deserve any business. they threw out a lot if expensive jewerly, jeans, shirts, jackets, ugg boots, and a bunch of other stuff. I personally don’t believe they threw that stuff away I believe they took the stuff home, m6 late father his gold watch was there also so I know they just stole all my stuff is what they did so they will be hearing from my attorney! I don’t think they deserve any stars but I guess to post a review I needed to put a star so that’s why I did

Went there because years ago our family had stayed… and they had stew in the lobby and cookies for the kids… it was so pleasant and it was clean.
This time, there was no stew or homey touch. Free coffee was about the extent of the amenities. There is no A/​C, which means you have to keep your window open… really not safe.
Rooms haven’t been updated in sometime. No plug near the bathroom area for the hairdryer, which they don’t supply. Parking is very very tight, so park in the Pig N Pancake if you can.
It was okay, clean enough though the bathroom was not the finest. Towels were about as thick as a crêpe. And they were teeny… so get more on check in. You’ll need them. I wouldn’t pay a premium to stay there.

The rooms are OK, but the walls are paper thin and if a bunch of Clatsop County dudebros decide to throw a kegger in the room above you until 4:30 am the hotel staff will do nothing about it. Then, at 8 am the following morning, two of the housekeepers camped outside of our door (by the ice machine) to smoke cigarettes and have a loud conversation. So for the hundred bucks we paid, we got about 3.5 hours of quiet. Quite a shabby deal.

Pet friendly for an additional $ 15. A little dated but this place has its own charm to it down to the nice wood paneled ceiling. The room was clean and the staff exceptionally friendly. I would definitely stay again.

As everyone said «dated old motel» my bill came out to $ 97.90 because they charged $ 15 for my small dog + tax $ 8.90.
Everyone was so sweet & nice there.
No view from this motel, but it’s right next to Pig ‘N pancake and close to downtown.
I think I will just stay at Crest Motel again (awesome view, cheaper and just 3 miles away).

Its obviously a pretty dated old motel (as in motor hotel), with unremodelled bathroom and finishings, right down to the 70s tile I’m the shower and the giant CRT TV. But its very clean and quite cheap. $ 75. Staff is friendly. Its fairly close to downtown. Nice inexpensive place to stay. I’d stay here again.

Inexpensive, relatively clean, close to the action. A little run down, though, and the maintenance workers (NOT cleaning staff) are foul-​mouthed chain smokers who camped outside my room for nearly an hour yesterday. Wi-​fi kinda sucks, and no air conditioning. Plus, most of the outlets were tied to switches – couldn’t charge my phone and sleep at the same time. I won’t be back.

Once again, Unilocal has saved the day by helping me find an affordable, comfortable, friendly place to rest for the night while on a road trip. If I’m ever in north western Oregon again, I will definitely return to the Lamplighter Motel — the establishment catered to all of my needs: a warm bed, a clean bathroom, free coffee and pastries, friendly service and free wifi. The ONLY complaint I have is that the wifi connection was rather slow but for the price, it was well worth the page loading wait. They even provide a microwave and mini fridge in the room, which was nice since I had foods that needed refrigerating and heating up.

Astoria was our destination, but we didn’t have a reservation to stay anywhere, preferring to see what we found once we got into town. As we passed The Lamplighter Motel, we thought it looked warm and inviting, with lamps lit in every window, so we stopped there. It was cheap ($ 66 includes the full-​sized bed/​room, breakfast in the morning, and lodging taxes) and while the room was not fancy, it was far more than adequate. It had a fridge and microwave, although no in-​room coffee maker, and I would suggest bringing your own pillows, as those which were furnished were as flat as pancakes. A vaulted a-​frame wood paneled ceiling adds to the charm. The bed and table/​chairs/​bedside platforms/​headboard were all standard-​issue 80s motel, but it was exceedingly comfortable, extremely clean, and cozy as a nest. We will definitely go back.

This place is a cheap motel, pretty clean and free of bugs. The bed was not comfortable don’t plan on any sleep if you are sharing it with someone… if you are on a budget. rooms are around $ 70.00 for one night it was OK.

My over all impression of this motel is below average; but whatever this motel lacks is made up by the wonderful staff and affordable price. Here are my pros/​cons for this place. If you can find a comparable price for a near by national chain hotel/​motel I would suggest looking at those places too. Our rate for late June 2010 was about $ 85 for a room with 1 queen been and 1 full sized bed.
Pros:
–Affordable price
–Free Wifi (although it’s very slow; it works)
–Location (close to downtown)
–Complimentary soup/​stew in the lobby in the evenings, we had clam chowder.
Cons:
–Old bathroom (Although acceptable in term of cleanliness; the window adjacent to the shower opens to darken back alley)
–No Air conditioning (if the temp was over 70 F i can see this as being a big problem)
–Noise (passing cars can easily be heard)
–Old bed (bong bong bong, if you know what i mean)
If you’re staying for 1 night i can see this place being very acceptable for the price. But if you’re on a vacation with a spouse thinking about staying for 2+ evenings i would find a place to sleep that is more comfortable. Be sure to check out the «Astoria Column» that only a few miles from the motel and climb to the top for a spectacular view.
