My husband and I stayed here the nights before and after our Carnival cruise to Mexico last week. We chose the hotel because we like Best Western, the reviews were good, and the price was right. Well, the reviews were all correct. The hotel is pretty no-frills, but we felt safe, it was quiet, the hotel was clean, and the... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in mid March. Arriving late from a long transatlantic flight into LAX. Easy to find the hotel and the staff were most welcoming. Great to have some coffee on arrival!! The hotel was busy but just enough parking spaces for all even though they could be tight if you are parked next to one... more

If you are on a budget and looking for a clean friendly... more

We found that and so much more in the Lamplighter Inn. First off, the staff is so friendly you fell like you... more
