I booked a garden view room but got a room near the fields, trash bins, and a welding crew set up under a tarp doing wrought iron fencing. I killed 5 large bugs in the room that looked like cockroaches, but the owner said they were water bugs. I stayed 6 nights and would have thought allowances would be made for the lousy accommodations but not the case. I was offered another room upstairs, but I'm handicapped and had 2 young grandchildren with me.

The accommodations and bugs! No maid service or clean towels for 6 nights

Our family has been staying at the Lamp Liter in Visalia for YEARS!! Right now, they are going thru a remodel and once it is completed it will be even more beautiful. It is convenient for us to visit other family living in Visalia. Gentleman doing Registration is always very welcoming, friendly and will take care of anything we need. Rooms are clean and the Garden Room Grounds outside are beautiful, and pool is always sparkling clean. Housekeeping does a great job, and our room is always ready when we arrive which is greatly appreciated. This is a BIG Perk for us. My on-line booking was completed and confirmed with-in 15 minutes! We feel that Lamp Liter deserves 4-5 Stars for the service they provide. I don't need to pay a higher price anywhere else in Visalia just to get breakfast at another hotel included. We always eat at Denny's!! See you on our Next Visit! Sincerely, Patty Castro

We Love Lamp Liter Inn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4-5 Stars from US!!

The grounds are beautifully landscaped and it's just a really charming property - a throwback to the motor court era decades ago but just fine for me to enjoy my stay before I head up into Sequoia National Park for a few more beautiful days.

You can hear voices some of the rooms and the highway is right across the street... but I didn't have any problems...

I stayed in the non remodeled side and the bed was very hard. Also water pressure was very low. I was told when I checked out that part of the remodel was replacing the hard beds with softer upgraded beds. I was also told that the side that is finished has better beds. Overall, I would stay again.

Dennis (day-time front desk clerk) was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He ensured we got the room we reserved and paid for. He had good ideas for restaurants and places to visit. Also, the courtyard gardens are gorgeous and worth a slow walk through. Also, Amanda gave us a tour of the cottages in the center. The place is old (1963) but retains much charm. Beds/pillows were very comfortable. Old pine furniture ("Thomasville" brand) was charming. Having a microwave and mini-fridge is helpful on a road trip. Nice flashback to the 20th century. New ownership. I'm intrigued by potential upgrades.

Reservation said "restaurant on site." No restaurant -- closed for awhile. Night clerk (Michelle) was not friendly or helpful. Had to drive on a highway to get food. Big pain, when arriving at 7pm in the dark and hungry for dinner. Two nightstand lamps in the room -- no overhead lighting -- impossible to read at night. Not upgraded, re lighting or places to charge devices. No Decaf coffee for the little pot. Also, no bar in the shower for stability, so we didn't use it. Ice machine was a very long walk from our room.

I stayed in one of the new remodeled rooms and I must say it was very nice and beyond my expectations. This is one of my favorite places to stay in the area, rooms are a great value, location is great near the freeway, good parking clean and quiet with downtown restaurants and shopping nearby.

No complaints.

It was a good base for a day out in Kings Canyon and Sequoia NP, about 1hr drive to the park which is worth it compared to paying the prices in 3 rivers. The staff were friendly and gave great restaurant recommendations! The bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was excellent. The room was clean, apart from a minor issue in the bathroom.

Our bathroom had a few ants appearing from under the bath but the weren’t there the next day. If you wanted the door/window open it was straight onto the communal outdoor area with smokers, so we didn’t feel comfortable leaving it open in the night and we got smells in the room!

Love this old school property, it is currently being remodeled and I am really looking forward to the restaurant being completed next time I stay. Overall the location is great, close to freeway and downtown, clean and comfortable.

The restaurant is under construction so I didn't get to enjoy it.

Gardens, gardens, gardens! Immaculate gardens surrounding the rooms created a beautiful and tranquil setting even with a busy road nearby. It was too cold when we were there to use the pool, but it was crystal clear and shimmering. The person at the front desk was very friendly and very well informed, it was lovely to have a chat with him.

We have no complaints.

LLI is centrally located, along the road to Sequoia Park. It’s a favorite, with beautiful gardens in center, a lovely pool, and a new restaurant about to open. I stay here whenever I’m in town.

There’s no breakfast, although that might change when the attached restaurant opens, $ included or not.
