Lamplighter Inn

This is the best place to stay in Powell. We've stayed in other places and nothing compares. The rooms are very clean and well-maintained. The pride in ownership is evident. We didn't have any issues and didn't lack for anything. Thanks for a great stay!

This has been our go to motel in Powell for 6 years and it never fails for a great experience. From the owners to the friendly staff and the clean and updated rooms and super accommodating. We highly recommend staying here while your in Powell you won't regret it!

We stay have stayed at this hotel nearly every summer for over THREE decades!! Locally owned and cared for, it's CLEAN and the bathrooms have been recently refreshed. It's a small inn, and always quiet. Rick and his staff will take very good care of you, and best of all, you just can't beat the price!!!

Only rating the food not the inn itself. Unfortunately they have closed down the restaurant. But it was without a doubt the best place to eat in Powell before it closed down. Haven't used the inn/hotel side of it but based on the restaurant I would guess it's solid.

I stay here for work when I have to work in Powell. I love Rick he’s just so nice and just amazing. The restaurant here is always consistent and good food. The staff in the restaurant is always so nice and welcoming. I always enjoy coming here. If you end up in Powell stay here! Rick and all of the staff will take good care of you.

The beds are sooo comfortable! And have tons of great pillows. I live a good ways out of town from Powell and I eat at the Lamplighter regularly and stay at the motel when I’m attending an event with alcohol. The restaurant has the best steak I’ve eaten in my life (consistently always amazing). And the liquor store is actually really great too. The whole establishment is truly a blessing to Powell. And Rick and Julie are the best!!

Went to restaurant on our wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday, both on same day. Decor of the lounge and the restaurant was beautiful. One waitress excellent, one so so. Many items listed on the menu were not available. Ribeye steaks were both way to salty. Aesthetic appeal to the food plates was very unspectacular for $67. No mention nor activity offered about either the anniversary not the birthday, yet we had made a point of it when we made the reservation as well as upon our arrival. Glad we tried it once since we had heard about it, but not likely to return.

My brother has lived in Powell for many years but had never been to the Lamplighter (though he had heard that it was good). I was in town visiting him, just for the afternoon, and he took me there for lunch. First of all, we came in toward the end of their lunchtime hours (45 minutes til closing) and often people don't really want to seat/serve you that late (and you can tell). If the lady who seated us minded, we sure couldn't tell. The gal who seated us was very accomodating and friendly. The blonde lady (with glasses) who took our order was wonderful, giving us a genuine, welcoming smile and then later, a wonderful lunch. I had shrimp, salad, and "fries" (cut differently than the classic) that were really yummy. My brother had a French Dip. Suffice to say he ate every bite. The food was good but our server was really the exception here. So nice to be greeted so warmly. I don't know her name but I know this will be a place my brother will go again, now that he has finally discovered it.

The Lamlighter Inn, Motel HAS NOT CLOSED. The Motel and rooms are still ZOPEN and operating.

My friends and I were visiting through here and our Airbnb host recommended the Lamplighter Inn. We really enjoyed the food here. We all got the ribeye which came with some veggies. We wished there were more veggies, but it was good nonetheless. Our meals came with delicious bread as well! Definitely worth a visit for a good meal!

This is a great hotel in Powell they have an attached steakhouse and liquor store . The rooms are clean everyone is friedly and you are close to shops and resturants but I would recommend their steakhouse everything we had was delicious .

Wow just Wow! Visiting with friends and they brought me here. Employees are super nice and that Lamplighter Steak platter is the bomb. It comes with soup salad bread sides... everything! Come hungry!! 10 stars

Immaculate! Perfectly comfortable and quiet. The room l stayed in had all the conveniences, including mini fridge and microwave. Friendly and helpful hotel management, plus comfort and cleanliness, are the reasons l will be staying here again.

Rick the manager brought a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese to my room and even played some video games with the boys before leaving . Class act all the way.

The Owner Rick who has been in business for 47 years was really nice and polite even after he asked me if I understood his frustration he also asked me what I was insinuating? They also removed the phones from the room years ago but thats ok we have our own phones Rick was fed up with working so I invited him to my room to join me and my grandfather Fred and we enjoyed pepperoni with extra cheese pizza and 2 cokes that were delivered to our room

The best burger and fries around!!! Burger is ground fresh each morning and their give you a half-pound! There is nothing like their sidewinder fries. Despite simply being frozen and then fried, they are perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside. Yummilicious. All for under $10! Phenomenal, super attentive service from our host, Betty, and our amazing server (whose name I didn't get). Plenty of soda refills for my aunt. Super southwest salad with chicken. The cilantro ranch dressing was bland but the horseradish dipping sauce was an unexpectedly good salad dressing. I can't wait to come back and try their amazing range of desserts.

Our grandson goes to college here in Powell. The inn was recommended by our daughter and son-in law who stayed here when they brought our grandson here for school. On our trip to visit to our grandson our daughter had called ahead for us. When we arrived We met Rick in the office. It was a joy talking to him. He made us feel like we were old friends. You could tell by his thoughts he was a conservative from the west. The room was clean, up to date, quiet with great WiFi. On our trip 8 day we stayed in several places around the Yellowstone Park area. This was the best. We wanted to try the restaurant but it was booked full past time we wanted to eat. The menu looked awesome.

Just had an awesome dinner! Jessie G was fabulous! They were short handed due to an illness of o coworker. Jessie took excellent care of everyone . She was there when she was needed and very courteous when she approached the table. We are from Cody but come here often because of the consistent good food and service. Jessie is an excellent asset to the staff and deserves recognition for her excellent service! We'll be back!

I really love this hotel. The owner is probably one of the nicest people you will meet. It is not a fancy place but perfect for a getaway. The liquor store is walking distance away. They also have a restaurant and it is really good for a small town place. They really do a nice job and care about your experience.

The Lamplighter offers the best beef anywhere. Period. (And I've eaten beef all over the midwest and west.) My favorites are the prime rib (available on Friday nights) and either the ribeye or New York steaks. The atmosphere is great, the people are friendly and accommodating, and the drinks are generous. Other entrees on the menu are solid but predictable fare. The only real weakness of the restaurant is the dessert menu which consists only of cheesecakes and sundaes.

Very impressed. The service at this clean and welcoming restaraunt was very good. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food was also very good.

What make this place great is the people, service is great the front end gentlemen was extremely nice omg make me feel like home. I really really recommend this place. P.s is a very very clean room and restrooms.

Super clean family owned motel. Rick makes you feel like an old friend coming for a visit! The rooms are quiet and comfortable. Then there is the fantastic food at the restaurant! Just amazing. Tired? Want to eat in your room? Room service at your finger tips. The food is just as hot and delightful when they bring it to you. Attached is a liquor store with a large variety of items. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!!

Great staff and the food was very good as well. We had supper there two different night during our stay and the waitress remembered our drink orders and the conversation that we had two nights previous. For the price it's well worth it. Bread, soup and salad included with the meal makes it a great value. Between the two time we ate there we had the the chefs Mac and cheeses, teriyaki chicken and sirloin steak. Highly recommend if you want something to eat outside of Cody to avoid the busy tourist packed restaurants.

We were searching and searching for a motel to stop in at after a long day (and even longer exit) from Yellowstone. Called here and was greeted as if it was the middle of the day (it was close to midnight) by the most welcoming voice. He seemed genuinely happy to help us out. Extremely reasonably priced and way nicer than some of the other not - as - nice locations we stayed at for a higher price. We were so happy with this motel all the way down to the cleanliness and friendliness. 5 stars!

The rooms are immaculate, the shower is great, the staff is extremely friendly, but alas, I can only give two stars because the pillows are some of the flattest, hardest, most miserable pillows I've ever had to suffer a night with. If they had good pillows, the rating would be significantly higher.

As good a meal as I have had anywhere-fabulous. Service is excellent & quality of food is near perfection. A rare treat!

AMAZING! Best Mexican food North of the border. The guacamole is fresh and made with perfection. The margarita was PERFECT, not too sour and not too sweet, just the right amount of perfect. If you find yourself near Yellowstone, make the trip to Powell, WY.

Best kept secret in Powell. They grind their own burger, make their own sauces and cut their own fries etc.. The food is very good, and the place is rarely crowded. The steaks are the best in town -PERIOD, (and the only ones).

After a long day of taking in the amazing sights, we decided on staying at the Lamplighter Hotel. Not the most up to date in terms of amenities ... but it was clean and we slept great. The biggest and most unexpected surprise was the food at the restaurant. Holy smokers ... it was fantastic. Our girl thought the place was super fancy ... really, REALLY good food.
