Cozy cabins, great location

Easy to find, great location, cozy cabin! I did wish there was an extra blanket provided, that is a suggestion. The bathroom and bathroom sink are far from each other, not a huge issue, but just note that (not all units, just some). One of the outlets didn't work. Roku TV, some of the streaming apps work, others you would have to sign in your own account but we opted not to do that just in case). Key, info and wifi was waiting for us at 3 pm as said. Theres a key drop if leaving early like we did.

I have to travel to Helena monthly, Lamplighter is close to the VA Hospital and the cabins are quiet and most have a kitchen if you'd rather cook than eat out. Great prices

Accommodation was fine

Person at check in was not very welcoming or engaged and just rattled off the information as if memorized. Also, there was an additional $3 convenience charge, with no explanation. Accommodation was fine. I stayed at this before and people seemed very friendly, maybe the person was having a bad day.

Nice little cabin stay. Could have had cleaner floors, but understandable given winter weather…. Walking around barefoot was definitely a no-go. Otherwise convenient and cozy little place. Would stay here again!

I like how convenient this place was to everything in the city of Helena. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The small kitchen had everything you would need for cooking. The suite we were in did need some cosmetic touch ups to it such as the bathroom and floor. The bathroom was the coldest area for us. I suggest a heat light in there would make a huge difference. The manager was most helpful and kind to educate us about “on demand hot water” and how it works. She even stopped over to show us in person how it works in order to get the hot water. We were so thankful for that lesson. Another great thing about this place, we had complete control of our thermostat. It is winter and snowstorms were nonstop while we were there. So it was nice to know you could adjust your thermostat if the cold was too much.
