Lamplighter Inn & Suites

I prepaid through a booking agent for 3 nights. When I arrived I discovered that there wasn't a microwave as was advertised. Since they required a $150 deposit, I made a video of the entire room verifying that upon entering there was no microwave and any other damage so there would be no confusion about me taking it or damaging anything. The front desk person didn't offer to bring me one but I let it pass because I was mostly concerned with not getting my deposit back. The next morning I asked if they would give me a copy of my receipt and note on it that the room had no microwave. He refused and then someone who claimed to be the hotel manager and owner called right back and said because I was so rude by insisting I have something from them verifying there was no microwave t that I was to leave immediately. This was just a little past 9 a.m. after I had just gotten out of the shower. He would not listen to reason. Called back literally a couple minutes later and said he had called ******* to request I be refunded two nights. I let him know I did not make the reservation through *******. He insisted I did--it was on his computer. The listing agent I used said they are not affiliated with ******* and my bank shows the funds were not given to *******. Anyway--very scary. It was a non-refundable reservation on my end but given that the hotel canceled it obviously it should needs to be. So far nothing but I opened a dispute with the bank. Fortunately I have taken a victim awareness course so verified the whole horrible episode but you never get compensated for a ruined vacation, do you? Apparently I should have read the reviews on Tripadvisor. Continue to live and learn...

The Lamplighter is a very nice older motel with some architectural character. We enjoyed our stay. The usual amenities are provided
