I'll skip Lava Hot Springs next time

The pictures online made this property look more appealing than it was. The bed qas very comfortable and there's a nice big tv, but the bathroom was tiny, with mineral scale covering everything and it just didnโ€™t look clean. There was a weird smell in the room, like fake cleanser, but it wasn't pleasant. I wouldn't stay here again, even for the reasonable price.

I only stayed here for one night but I loved it!! The bathroom is a little small and a place to hang a hand towel would be good. The view of the river in the back and the ability to just sit on the chairs and relax is fabulous!! 10/10 will be coming back!

The rooms are small but very well kept up. The bed was comfortable. When we opened the door in the bathroom it went out to a patio with chairs. It was easy to walk to the river. They setup a kid friendly movie after dark. served popcorn and cotton candy. I would definatly stay again.

This was less than 5 minute drive from town and the municipal hot springs. They stay open until 11:00pm so we were able to go at night and again in the morning. Great breakfast. Highly recommended.

The property owner is clearly trying but attention to detail was poor. Toilet seat was broken, dirty, mismatched and missing cups/utensils. Patio was covered in debris. Beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. Fire pit was nice at the end of the night.

It was your average hotel room. The water in the bathroom sink barely trickles out. Didnโ€™t try the shower. It's in a nice location on the Portneuf River. Beach access is nice.
