A hidden GEM!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Mar 2022
I was looking for a value priced hotel in Helena on a recent business trip. I found this hidden gem. Price was great, cabin was quiet, dog friendly, and very comfortable. The cabins are similar to a tiny house. I will definitely be booking here again!

Room Tip: Cabins are similar to tiny houses, and they have larger units as well. Dog friendly, quiet, and...

I really enjoyed my stay at the lamplighter! I wanted something more than a hotel room while visiting friends in the area and this was perfect. The wifi was reliable so I could work remotely, the owners/staff were so friendly, and there’s a grocery store very close by. I think they’ve made updates recently so it’s hard to know if some of the reviews are before those were done, but everything was very comfortable. I didn’t have the same issue with children in the parking lot or noise, so I think it’s similar to any hotel situation where there might be guests who are loud. I will absolutely stay here again when I visit!

I found the Lamplighter while searching for accommodations that don't have HVAC systems, due to covid-19. I'm so glad I found this place! My cabin was clean, comfortable, cozy and in a great location.

Warning don’t get #. 33 ..this is a cute place inside and out but unfortunately they rent by the month to families..we had a u haul parked at our door ...at least two large noisy families next to us ..we had to keep the windows closed when they stared up their BBQ to keep the odor out ..we had to ask them to turn down the music and they have 7 kids on scooters,bikes and skateboards..wizzing all around and depositing them at our door step ..they talked loudly all night
We asked to be moved but they said they were full ..the owners are nice but they should not rent that unit out while so many people are next door ..they also need a sign to warn that children are all over the drive way ..we almost hit one ..
This spoiled the lovey unit we were in ...it was very clean and well stocked ...great bed and linens and WiFi

Dragonfly room was ok, but why would you position a bed where you can’t see the tv? Bathroom was tight. Heat was tricky, but workable. It was a clean room though. Close to downtown. Just don’t expect any frills.

These are cute LITTLE cabins. They are old and small but nicely maintained. They are clean, but no frills. The blinds are cheap ones and many slats are broken. No breakfast here. Queen size bed that is comfy and a nice big tv. But for one night for the price it worked for us.
