Clean room, quiet... Convenient to mineral pools, restaurants, bars and down town
I’m happy with the stay. The in room shower water pressure was the stuff of legend! Their pool was super, the staff was very friendly coming and going.
I loved this place, the tiny house was amazing, small and spacious at the same time, plenty of parking in front of your house, nice extremely hot pool within 3 minute walk. We'll be back.
Such a cozy little hotel! No coffeec pot in the room, which is bad for old people who get up at 5 am! There are a few places open to get coffee in town though and the office has coffee too, but didnt open
at 5! Overall it was a nice stay. A short walk to the hot spring, but it was quiet and the perfect hot temperature,
Pool was a bit of a walk from our room. With it being less than 40F, the trip back to room was “refreshing”. Room was nice and clean. The only complaint was no closet, hangers or clothes hooks. With 4 people with winter clothes it was a challenge to find places to put clothing.
Pool was too hot for our 3 year old, but nice for adults that like hot water. The jetted tub and hot shower was excellent. Not very bright lights for the vanity in the bathroom, but overall a great spot to stay in Lava.
We love staying at Lava Hot Springs Hotel. The rooms are simple, cozy, and comfortable, and the location is hard to beat. It’s within easy walking distance of just about everything downtown, which makes the whole stay feel relaxed and convenient.
The biggest perk is definitely the private hot pool access. The hours are great, and it’s such a nice bonus to be able to soak without the crowds.
The staff was nice and helpful, though not overly friendly. The rooms were clean overall, though not the cleanest we’ve experienced. Still, the comfort, location, and private hot pool access keep us coming back. It’s a solid choice if you want a cozy stay right in the heart of Lava Hot Springs.
Everything was clean and nice. Super fun time. The only thing is there are only shampoos in the room and for a 6 person room only had 2 shower towls
And you cant get more intil the next day. Other than that they were amazing and would stay again
