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.

We were the only ones there. They gave us the worst room possible. Two queen beds foot to foot. worst room ever. No soap or shampoo at all in the room. Seemed dirty and very out dated. Would never go back or recommend to anyone.

Close to everything - But gross

The staff at the office was OK. But the room was terrible. It is so old and run down. The chairs had no cushion and were so stained that I would never sit on them. The bed is old and hard. Room smelled of pee. Shower was awful. Just a very old, gross room.

Bugs, actually killed one in the bed when I pulled the comforter down, urine on the toilet seat, went to get coffee the next morning in the “lobby”, door was locked, had to walk down the street and buy it. I’ve stayed in much nicer hotels for a lot less money. For what they charge the rooms should be updated and a whole lot nicer.

This property is right across from the hot pools in Lava, so location is prime. We had a huge leak in our room when we showered, enough that the carpet got sloshy. There were box elder bugs everywhere. There is no place to plug in USB cords for charging phones, watches, etc. The office doesn't open until 8:00 am so there was no coffee for the first couple of hours when we woke up. The air conditioner didn't work, it would kick on for a few seconds and then go off so it got very humid and hot in there.
