Beware of HIDDEN FEES.

The suites are big, clean and comfy for the price. Beware of bait and switch, however, as they will try to collect ridiculous fees at the end, after you check out (the office is never open). We left key and paperwork in drop box, then they called to ACCUSE me of taking said room key (the the office was closed at checkout time).They left a message saying they would charge me for a locksmith, but when I called back to protest; the key had just magically appeared. Worse, this place is NOT “PET FRIENDLY” AS ADVERTISED. THEY WILL TRY TO TAKE $250 FROM YOUR CC, extra, and kick you out if you have a cat, because “Expedia won’t let them clarify what constitutes a pet when you book.” I am pretty sure their inexpensive room rates are a ploy to tack on any number and kind of charges after you leave. We could not find a valid business license for the Lamplighter Cabins and Suites in Helena, on the MonTana Secretary of State business search website. The whole time we were there I kept having a feeling they were hurting for $. Now I know why. Repeat biz is not their business strategy. Stay away.

Disliked: Staff & service
There are very limited hours that you are able to contact a staff member if you need anything. There was an alarm clock going off in the neighboring room from 5 AM until after we left. We were unable to contact a staff member to go into the neighboring room to turn off that alarm clock which was extremely frustrating. The service would be much better if someone was available or on call to take phone calls of the guests. Also, our room was advertised as a king size on Expedia, but was only a queen size. Supposedly, they have tried to change that, but Expedia has not changed it for them.

Lamplighter is great!

We like how cute these little cabins are and reasonably priced. They family size cabins as well and most all have kitchenette's. It's one of the closest places to stay that is near the Broadwater Hot Springs. We enjoy the Lamplighter and have stayed many times.

Cute, Cozy & Welcoming

This was our 2nd time staying at the Lamplighter Inn. Just as before we absolutely LOVED staying. The rooms are clean, cute, comfortable, convenient & family owned. Staff is always friendly & welcoming. Our pets love the space we have inside when the weather outside isn’tso nice. I will say parking is a bit tight so if you aren’t good at parking….

Quick and friendly check in. Cabins are very nice, clean and comfortable. Conveniently located near a grocery store and Carroll College, makes a good place to stay for a single night or several. I will come back again.

Great place to lay your head!

Nice and quiet near downtown, right across from the staggering Ox. Hotel has been renovated recently, there are a few little rough edges if you look closely, but the staff is super friendly, the price can't be beat for what you're getting, would be a great place for a family gathering. Great place to stay when visiting Helena.

Been working in Montana for 5 months and all over the state. This is my favorite lodging I’ve had to use. Bed is super comfy, staff is super friendly and helpful. The cabins are super cozy and have full kitchens, so you can save money by not eating out every night. Highly recommend to traveling workers. Thank you for allowing me to stay here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
