Although the Lighthouse is an older property, it was extremely clean and well-maintained. It has recently had upgrades that improved the aesthetic. It was a great stay at an excellent price!

They charge for parking now which was unfortunate and they were stingey on toilet paper and shampoo (gave one little pouch of shampoo so we had to ask for a lot more) but otherwise clean and safe and nice overall would stay again. Great location and amazing AC

The best thing was the staff. They did an awesome job of making guest feel welcome. The hotel itself is very old and could use some renovation. Despite the hotel age, the rooms were clean and clean towels were provided each day.
