“Doors are upgraded now”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2007

Well, the good thing about an oil boom is that they've invested in keycard locks on the doors, with a deadbolt feature.

The mattresses have not been upgraded, but the ones in my room weren't unsleepable during my forced 2-week stay. They weren't great, but they weren't the worst I've dealt with.

If you stay here & have chemical sensitivities, tell housekeeping to NOT spray the lysol or whatever it is they use daily in the air. I had to.

Very basic, but clean, no mold. Haven't figured out why their restaurant closes just before the dinner hour (4pm).

No suspicous activities, just oil workers on long term stays grilling out, mostly quiet, although I heard the place can get rowdy.

“Great....If you don't like sleeping. A Disaster!”

We planned a two-night trip to Vernal with four adults. We booked at the Lamplighter hotel for those two nights. We weren't expecting a four star hotel, but for the price we figured it should be a decent nights sleep...WRONG! At one point or another during the night, each of us considered sleeping on the floor or in the car. The mattresses, I'm guessing, must be at least 10 years old; my wife insists they are closer to 20. All of us woke up (from what sleep we did get) with sore backs and a sour distaste for the Lamplighter Inn. The rooms were clean, but with stark white cinder block walls and the barely 19" TV, it is hard to paint any kind of redeeming picture of this hotel. Also, the walls did little to muffle the sounds from other rooms and there is was no deadbolt or chain on the door. With some questionable characters unloading their truck at midnight, the push button lock on the door did little to sooth our concerns for security, almost to the point where we pushed furniture in front of the door. We checked out immediately the next day, canceling our second night's stay. At that point we didn't care if we couldn't get another hotel and would have to cut our vacation short, we would not stay another night in the hotel. Fortunately we were able to get a room at the Best Western Antlers. In contrast, it was a well-proportioned room with comfortable Serta Mattresses. Lamplight Inn, if you are reading this (which I doubt) GET SOME NEW MATRESSES AND INSTALL DEADBOLTS, or close your doors. What a rip-off!!!
