We were choosing between this place and the Fairway Motel for a one-night stay while skiing at nearby resorts. Lamplighter looked nicer from the outside, and closer to other businesses/restaurants in town. Glad we stayed there. The room was very nice too and very clean and spacious. Flat screen TV and refrigerator in room. Room was quiet, even though it's... More

The price seemed right, the reviews on this site were good, so we went for it as we needed a one night stop in New London. The room, which was advertised as renovated, was not. Only the carpet had been changed. The room smelled horribly musty, to the point that we nearly left. The owner, very kindly, gave us that... More

What a fantastic place to stay. Furniture was traditional and it had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, it was quiet and there was good water pressure in the shower. Everything was extremely clean. A basic breakfast was provided and staff were very friendly. The grounds were well kept.

We can't thank the new owners enough for the fantastic stay and help during our trip. It's nice to know that you can still get such personal attention. We arrived very late and needed to plan the next day - Ernie stayed up late and helped. Thanks again - you saved the trip!

Stowe was our destination for a Saturday-Sunday ski trip last weekend. The Lamplighter Inn was a fine stop for the Friday evening stay. By staying here, we had comfortable rest and a pleasant and shorter drive early Saturday morning. We arrived at nearly 11pm. The office check in by the owner himself was friendly, smooth, and quick->straight to the cozy... More

The Lamplighter is a hidden treasure! The room is large, clean, with refrigerator, nice TV, free internet. Great price which includes a continental breakfast. New owner is son of original builders of the Motor Inn and with his carpentry skills has fixed it up beautifully. When we return to New London to visit, this will be our place of choice.

We spent 4 days at this Motor Inn. The room was large and clean. The Beds were comfortable. There was a refrigerator with a small freezer and plenty of closet space. The bathroom and sink were very clean and worked well. The "Host" was gracious and helpful. A breakfast of coffee, doughnuts, cereal, fruit, and yogurt was available each day.... More

For those of you who have stayed at the Lamplighter during the past 10 years, you will be very happy with the very much needed changes that have been made. The new management has ripped out that awful shag carpeting, has cut out and replaced all of the moldy ceilings and walls, and has painted all of the rooms. They... More
