Check in was fast and the receptionist is friendly. Gave me a map of the hotel with the wifi password. The parking was great and they provided a basket of hygiene care product like shampoo, lotion and a soap bar. I stayed here for a night and it's not really a good experience. Found hair in the bathtub and saw 2 cockroaches; 1 chilling on the side of the bed and the other in the bathtub. I also made some eye contact with a sketchy person in the hotel, thankfully, nothing happened during my stay. There's no clock or telephone provided but the room was quiet at night, so the sleep was okay. They do require a $100 deposit that will be returned after you check-out.The hotel does have great potential if they work on remodeling, fumigating and hygiene improvements.

Pretty gross beds and pillows. They had stains all over the bed and pillows, (probably sweat stains), one of the pillows even had a dot of a blood stain. Maybe it was from a bloody nose, but still, was absolutely disgusting.When I brought the pillows to the front to be replaced they were not that amenable. They said they didn't keep any extra supplies (at night). The next morning I asked again, and the front desk said room service would be right over. We waited to no luck. We just didn't use the pillow.

Staff could be more courteous. Check out is standard at 11 and they try to kick you out at 10:30.

Despite its outdated rooms, I would actually recommend this hotel. Rooms are clean and comfortable, the layout of the room I like most coz it has a room for privacy (atleast the room I was in). It has this bit of space or entryway to the shower room that's covering the rest of the room. I also like the beautiful landscapes of their garden and pool outside. Whoever their gardener is, is doing a great job! Overall, me and our group was satisfied with our stay. Fantastic for one or two nights stay. The location was fairly quiet at night and about 5mins drive to places to eat.

Jesus God this place is awful. Opening the door, you're immediately assaulted by a musty smell. Our kids had to change rooms because there was a WET stain on the bed. The carpet had a mosaic of stains and bugs. I swear our door had bloody fingerprints on it. A car alarm went off at 4 am, probably ours, but I didn't investigate because I wasn't in the mood to get murdered. Do I normally leave scathing reviews? No. Some businesses deserve to die.

Only if they changed the sheets!Bread cromes and nail bits from the person who slept in that bed before me. I asked for someone to come and change the sheets and I was told there was no one available but I was talking to the owner of the place... I asked for clean sheets and he told me there were none. In the shower the edges were full of mold. I had booked the room for three days. And because I was tired, and it was already I have to sleep there the first night but I cancelled the remaining nights.

I guess you get what you pay for... Check in was fine the lobby was clean and the service was fine however when we got to the room there were cockroaches on the mini fridge!! I was not brave enough to open it to see if there were more. I went back the lobby and the receptionist did change our room however was extremely rude and didn't seem worried about the fact there were bugs in our room. We we're changed to a room upstairs and thankfully found no more bugs. However to room was old and and dirty again you get what you pay for I guess. I think the most irritating part is that we had to go get out room key re activated EVERY NIGHT!!! When we went to let the receptionist know she said she thought we only wanted the top floor room for one night. Why would I want to go back to the room with roaches in it?We thought the problem was solved but out of the 4 days we stayed here EVERY DAY we had to go to the lobby and re activate our key

This place is very unsafe and dirty.I booked a room with double beds. When I arrived to check in I requested a ground level room, it took the person at the desk 15 minutes to make the change.In the mean time there were guests coming to the desk complain about issues in their room and deactivated room keys. We arrived at our room (which by the way, was located in the back of the hotel) after 12:00am. There were several people in the room next door, 3 men lighting pipes and smoking (and it wasn't just plain Pot) and what looked like prostitution was also invited to the party. We left and called from our car, and demanded a refund. We were told we had to return our keys before a refund could be credited. I wanted no part in returning to that horrible place.Definitely, do not ever stay at the disgusting hotel.

We visited Visalia and thought it would be nostalgic to stay at the Lamp Lighter Inn. Not so much. Very sad to see what the place has deteriorated to, our room was disappointing to say the least. No secure door lock, only the deadbolt, bed was so hard my shoulders and arms fell asleep so I tossed and turned all night. There was patchwork and bare drywall tape on the wall. Spackle drops in the sink. Room smelled of 50 years of room deodorizer. And I don't even want to guess about carpet. I hope the new owners are serious about renovating this icon or tear it didn't and put it out of its misery.
