What guests think

At Gas Lite Motel Lawrenceville, travelers frequently praise the friendly staff and budget rates, while describing an older, no-frills property that can be quiet just outside town and adequate for short, low-cost stays.

Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed: several reviews cite stained linens, odors, dust, or a bug and recurring hot-water and AC issues, while others report rooms cleaned daily or recently updated. Room comfort varies, with some finding comfortable beds and decent size, but others noting thin walls, very small TVs, worn decor, and squeaky or hard mattresses, plus occasional switches from booked kings to doubles. Breakfast is very limited, sometimes just cereal, and coffee has been unavailable at times. Expect a basic, drive-up roadside stay focused on value over polish.

Old, worn room, super small television became an eye test for my old eyes. Thin walls...adjoining room conversations almost understandable. Good room size. Car parked directly outside my window a plus.

No frills stay for great price. Great owners/hosts. Kind and caring about their guests. Found room to be very clean, bedding clean, great mattress & sleep. Liked having refrigerator & microwave. A few miles from town which made it quiet and feel safe. Enjoyed grassy area out front with furniture provided by owners.

NO Hot Water couldn't take showers. was my only complaint. Front desk guy was nice, and room fairly clean, could use some updating. Probably won't be back until hot water issue is resolved, but was told by management that that's the way it is....NO Hot Water

Staff was readily available and helpful. The room was average, not the cleanest, with stains on some of the towels. But the bed was really comfortable and clean. Very quiet and just outside of town. I just needed a low cost hotel to stay at while in the area and this fit the bill.

Clean and comfortable, but theres an odor in the bathroom and the hot water is maybe 85° making shower very uncomfortable. Stayed, but would not stay again.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Impossible that the rating on hotels .com is accurate. Smelled like a pet bathroom in our room. AC really poor. Walls need cleaning (and paint). WORST ROOM EVER.

The front desk was friendly. I had never been there before. It was old and I said as long as its clean and bug free, it was 1 night. He said it should be fairly clean. He should have said barely. The wall was busted and patched together. The bathroom had been remodeled some and it didn't look as bad but all the towels were stained and there was an inch of test and dirty prints all over the hair dryer. Dust coated the headboard and lamps as well. It was very dark and difficult to see until I opened the curtains. I did find a roach on the floor when I got up during the night to use the bathroom. Needless to say, i will never stay here again! I was told I could get coffee in the lobby but it was never made. The waitress at the restaurant down the street said she won't have let us stay at her house if she had known. Her exact response was,"oh, you poor dears!" Enough said.

The ad for this hotel is deceiving! The room was old, run down, and dirty. Burn holes in linens. Chair was DISGUSTING! Window a/c unit was mounted through the wall and not sealed well. Beds were uncomfortable. Shoe marks on doors. Too many items broken and non functional. Staff was only helpful when I gave direct instructions.... for example, I moved my frosted over mini fridge outside myself and went to the office to tell them I needed a new one ASAP for my kid's milk. They told me I could not get a refund for early checkout even though I only used 4 out of 7 days.

this is a older motel in a small town. Expectations were low, but was lower than I had hoped. The Motel is under remodeling, but the carpet and the bed covering was dirty and stained. hopefully it will improve with the remodel, but for now its a no-go.

Stayed in a diff room then normal, Rm 26. Love it! Hopefully we can get that room everytime we stay. Only thing the mattresses were a bit too hard for us. I have a bad back and am having bad problems right now. Hubby works a hard job and is always sore and achy. So that wasnt in our favor. But everything else was wonderful as always

There was a huge barking dog across the road. Luckily we couldn’t really hear it when inside. No coffee in the morning. Not very easy to communicate with staff/ possibly owners.
