Questions about Lamplighter Inn & Suites

What time is check-in and check-out at Lamplighter Inn & Suites?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Lamplighter Inn & Suites allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Lamplighter Inn & Suites have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Lamplighter Inn & Suites have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Lamplighter Inn & Suites have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
