    I'm in the habit of doing a room check to make sure nothing is left behind when I check out. On April 7th I forgot an expensive pair of boots. I called the hotel, and they found my boots in the room and told me I could pick them up at the front desk. I don't live in the area so I arranged for a friend to pick them up. When she went to get them, they had no boots. I've called the hotel almost daily to speak to the manager with no response. I've spoke with 2 employees who confirmed my boots were there, but they didn't know what happened to them but they had cameras and could check to see what happened to them. I finally spoke with the manager on May 1st. His name was Jay, who was rude as hell. He told me boots gone that they can't store stuff left behind, and they got thrown away and for me not to call back. Even though we have enjoyed several stays at the Lamp Liter and the staff has been great. We will never stay again. The manager is horrible and has no people skills. I am very disappointed that I am out of my favorite boots. I don't believe for one minute my boots were thrown away. Do a room check before leaving.

    The TV Cable system didn’t have local or network channels. And no thermostat in room that we could find. Warm in room at night. There was a sliding door in room. But it was screwed shut. Just a one off switch that said heat/air. But it was a noisy fan

    The grounds were very nice. Beautifully landscaped. We sat outside our room a lot just looking at flowers and trees. Room was nice

    The weather was not warm enough to swim but there was geese poop in the pool, so that.... If I wanted to swim there is no way I would have jumped in.

    I loved that this hotel was a little bit of paradise that contrasted with the freeway in front. The garden area was sweet. I liked the patio doors and option of two doors to enter and leave. The location was perfect for us.

    The mattress, was sunken in! There was no real way to regulate the temperature outside of flipping a switch for heat, or pulling the chain of the ceiling fan.

    Quiet, & actually had amenities (coffee, tea, and coffee pot). The room itself was rather spacious & I liked that the bathroom wasn’t open facing to the rest of the room.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Quite a bit of highway noise- recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

    Beautiful grounds with trees, plants, and flowers. Pet friendly. Simple but clean rooms.
