Courteous staff. Very close to hot springs. No frills or any hooks or closet. Soak and you’ll sleep like a baby.

The room was nice and clean. Beds are very bouncy. But the name of the motel is misleading. Why put Spa in the name if you dont have any?

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.

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.
