Lamplighter Motor Inn

The manager was so kind and helpful when I stayed there unexpectedly due to weather. The room was warm and clean. The bathroom, the same. I felt like I was staying with family! A must stay if you are in or near New London. I would definitely come back!

Though I stayed here back in 2018 I wasn't given the option to choose that date, but my review is the same! Its been almost 5 years since I stayed here while visiting New London on a Christmas getaway from Alabama. It had a beautiful view with fresh snow everywhere! I loved the fire pit that it had in true Southern fashion, I always love a good fire! The rooms were cozy and made to feel like in home in my opinion vs the way every other hotel now has updated everything to a sometimes uncomfortable setting. This place was great and the owner was super friendly as well! It was located right by the stores and little shopping center so that was convenient as well. Id definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a place to make you feel at home.

I don't know what the other reviewers are smokin, but the room I had was on bottom floor.......NO hairdryer, NO microwave, NO coffee, BEDS were lumpy and one was higher up then the other. The TRASH RECEPTACLE had not been emptied from the last room user, great health hazard there, the air conditioner was full of mold......great way to get Legionnaire's disease. When we uncovered the bed, there was hair on the sheets and strands of hair on the blanket. This was in both beds. Walls had holes in them We were charged $130.00 per night for this obnoxious room. I wouldn't recommend my enemies to this hotel. It was gross.

The motel owner scanned my father's card twice. thus stealing from him as he double billed.for one invoice.We tried to get him to refund this on the phone, and the owner continued his fraud of the elderly by insisting we come in. He knows we are out-of-state. I would like the owner who's clearly running a scam to just credit that account. In fact, you do not need the person to come in to return the money the owner stole.

I haven't stayed at this inn but want to deeply appreciate the kind gesture of someone who works/worked here(whose name I sadly don't recall), he offered to accommodate four of us stuck in sever snow storm in mid January 2025 on the way back to Boston from Montreal by car. Despite some renovation work happening at the inn, he agreed to offer accomodation after hearing our situation over the phone. We ended up moving forward to Boston despite the storm but wanted to say BIG THANK YOU for your kind gesture while every other hotels shut the door on us that night. I wish I could stay at this inn someday. God bless you!
