Friendly staff and a useful location cannot outweigh inconsistent cleanliness and unfinished renovations.
Lamplighter South is an aging budget 3-star, not a dependable mid-range hotel. Its South Glenstone location, free parking and attached Ziggies restaurant are practical advantages. Expedia guests repeatedly praise helpful staff, and some report clean rooms and satisfactory overnight stays. But the broader picture is below what even a simple hotel should deliver: cleanliness and room condition vary too much to recommend it confidently.
Recent reviews across Expedia, Tripadvisor and other booking sites describe dirty floors, lingering smoke smells and worn or malfunctioning room fixtures. Renovations were still reported in September 2026; summer guests also reported the outdoor pool closed for remodeling, so confirm reopening rather than trusting amenity photos. We'd consider it only for a basic stopover with modest expectations. Families, smoke-sensitive travelers and anyone wanting reliable comfort should skip it.

Lamplighter South is an aging budget 3-star, not a dependable mid-range hotel. Its South Glenstone location, free parking and attached Ziggies restaurant are practical advantages. Expedia guests repeatedly praise helpful staff, and some report clean rooms and satisfactory overnight stays. But the broader picture is below what even a simple hotel should deliver: cleanliness and room condition vary too much to recommend it confidently.
Recent reviews across Expedia, Tripadvisor and other booking sites describe dirty floors, lingering smoke smells and worn or malfunctioning room fixtures. Renovations were still reported in September 2026; summer guests also reported the outdoor pool closed for remodeling, so confirm reopening rather than trusting amenity photos. We'd consider it only for a basic stopover with modest expectations. Families, smoke-sensitive travelers and anyone wanting reliable comfort should skip it.
Best for: Undemanding overnight stopovers; Drivers prioritizing South Glenstone access
Watch out for: Inconsistent cleaning and smoke odors; Worn rooms and unreliable fixtures; Renovations and reported pool closure
Location: Convenient for Mercy Hospital and driving to shops; some guests report feeling uncomfortable around the property.
Rooms: Condition varies, with recurring reports of worn beds, broken fixtures and heating or cooling problems.
Cleanliness: Some rooms earn praise, but dirty floors, linens and persistent odors recur across recent reviews.
Service: Helpful, friendly front-desk staff are the most consistent positive, including assistance with room changes.
Amenities: Continental breakfast, Wi-Fi and Ziggies are listed; summer 2026 guests reported the outdoor pool closed.
Fees and surprises: Parking is free; late checkout costs extra, and renovation completion and pool reopening remain unverified.
