What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 67 guest reviews
The New Lantern Motel earns consistently strong praise for its thorough renovation, spotless rooms, and exceptionally warm, responsive staff — qualities that stand out for a roadside motel. However, recurring complaints about the continental breakfast being limited, inconsistently available, or absent, combined with thin walls, small room sizes, and occasional amenity shortfalls, are genuine niggles guests should be aware of. Overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with most travellers considering it excellent value for a clean, comfortable highway stop.
