Not a bad place for the money

If you're expecting a modern hotel with plush amenities, this isn't it. But if you're looking for an affordable place to stay with good location, great customer service, and some nice bonuses this is the place to stay. It doesn't look like it's been updated since the 70's, but it has it's positives: the walls are brick so you can't hear your neighbors at all, unlike most hotels. You get a microwave and fridge in every room. The location can't be beat, it's right in the middle of downtown so everything is within walking distance. It's a great place to stay with pets, they have good rates and you can walk to the park just a couple blocks away for morning walks. Also, we had a situation where we needed to leave early. Lamplighter fully refunded us for the day we had to leave, even though we told them last minute that we had to go. For every day you spend here, you get a free voucher to the breakfast place by their lobby. The breakfast here surprised me and is actually really good! As far as the atmosphere, I guess the best way to describe it is not terribly clean, but it was clean enough to be comfortable. Definitely seems like there are 30 years worth of stains in the bedding, carpeting, bathroom, etc. All in all, I recommend it if you're staying in Alamosa on a budget or with pets.
