Clean room. Conveniently located. Friendly staff. Outdated electrical in room, everything plugged into extension cords or not mounted in wall properly. Ice machine locked up every time we tried to use it.

Well, where do I start? First I tried to upgrade my room because I had another person joining for the trip. I called about 2 and a half weeks before my tay to make the changes. I was told the change was made, they even told me how much was added to the price of my reservation. I asked if I was going to get a confirmation or anything and the gentleman said no, but I definitely made the change. Well we got there to check in and the front desk attendant, said that the reservation wasn't updated and that they were full so I was stuck in the original room.... 3 grown adults on 1 queen bed..... They did have a rollaway bed he brought over, at no charge he said. Thankfully he didn't charge for it. I wouldn't buy that thing for $10. It was extremely old and beat up. Squeaky and not even resembling anything of any comfort. When we settled into the room, noticed there was trash under the bed from a previous guest. Makes me wonder what else didn't get cleaned. There was also a woman hair claw clip under there too. We went out for the evening and enjoyed the springs. We got back to a completely full lot with no parking so we had to park behind the property in the RV park. Upon our return to the room, we wanted to shower. When we turned the water on, there was no hot water. Luckily it got almost Luke warm so we were able to survive a quick rinse. The location of this place is probably the only good thing about it. I was far from expecting anything fancy or luxury, o

Heater was great, tub drained slowly, but reported to property who were eager to repair. Wifi was far away and low signal and not effective for my switch console or phone. Staff was very friendly and the proximity to the hotsprings was unbeatable. Overall great stay for a quick one-night trip!

Rooms are old.... walls have patches everywhere. TV was old and the satellite reception kept going out. If you want ice you have to hope the desk clerk is there to unlock the bin that has bagged ice. Light bulb was out on the nightstand light.... the doors don't have a deadbolt or Secondary locking Device. The only plus is that it's right by the springs within walking distance.

The room was great. This Motel is really old but we have stayed here several times over the years. We had one little problem with the sink in the bathroom but they were able to fix that and apologized for the inconvenience. Very nice staff. This Motel is the closest place to stay near the hot springs. Very easy to walk back and forth.

This is nothing special. It’s clean, staff are friendly. The draw is that it’s across the street from the springs. There is limited parking and very difficult when large trucks park in the lot. This caused an issue once. On the last visit, we had a small car park in the corner next to us even though it was not a parking spot. Staff do not monitor parking.
