Unfortunately, the bottom floor room was filthy and the TV didn't work. We were finally moved to a different room hours later. The new room was not much better even though the TV worked. Clogged sink, blood drops on the sheets of one bed we and clogged shower. Staff was less than accommodating about the room change as though it was annoying to them. Didn't feel comfortable bringing anything else to attention. The so called pool they offer is basically located on another rental properties land. It's dirty and not what was advertised. Charging as much as they do for one night is absolutely absurd. I can only imagine what they consider a "spa"! Makes the town experience walkable and fun but it's Right next to the loud road and train. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

From the Brussels sprouts starter... wow probably the best we've had. The main entrees of lobster pasta and filet mignon that melted with every bite, and the crisp fresh vegetables on the side... holy Hannah! Even the damn cheese cake was phenomenal with its wild local blueberries.... We ate every bit of all of it. Then Cesar shocked us with some smoked old fashions that completely exceeded expectations... it is a baked Alaska for beverages. Even the next morning we had a voucher for breakfast...the spinach tomato quiche, made in house, was so damn delicious. We assume it's made by the same chef. We thought we were just headed to your average hotel restaurant, we were very wrong. The only thing that I would say we struggled with was the damn mattress. The most uncomfortable sleep we've had in a long while. We may not go back to sleep but we will absolutely go back for drinks and good eats! The entire staff is incredibly kind, helpful and pretty knowledgeable about the town and even the building.

Absolutely amazing!…read more Diane booked me over the phone and hooked us up very nicely. The price was exactly what she told me it would be and the service was exceptional. I want to give a special thanks to Dave & Ally at the front desk, as well as the lady at the cafe- I didn't catch her name! (I recommend the quiche and French toast) Everyone who works here is so personable and so kind. I also want to shout out Portneuf Grill. Lindsay, Caesar, and Dereck were amazing!!! It was Caesar's first night and he was on fire. The ribeye, potatoes & veggies were absolutely unreal and I got a Caesar salad with chicken and it was the best Caesar salad I've ever had in my entire life. The Brussel sprouts were a spiritual awakening. Corey was a great masseuse and the pools were so relaxing. Oh and room 305 is the best spot in the hotel. It was so charming and cozy and you have a perfect view of the creek out back and the mountains. It also provides a lot of privacy. 10/10 will stay here again, and I HIGHLY recommend anyone going to lava to stay here!

The tour of the room by Autumn was awesome and added to the overall experience. The furniture, decorations and draperies were all spot on. The attention to detail like the rose on the mantel (from the Phantom, from anyone who hasn't seen Phantom of the Opera) the pitcher of ice water, a box fan tucked away in the corner, the Phantom of the Opera music playing, and DVD for viewing were all over the top details that made this stay worth every penny. The bed was great, as were the sheets and bedding. Then to plug devices in to charge there is a charging station next to the bed with I think 4 USB and 4 A/C plug ins to utilize. You can tell right away that these people care about their customers and do their best to make them happy. Then, the next day was a very nice breakfast consisting of bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, fresh cut fruit and creamy dipping sauce for the fruit, plus orange juice and hot chocolate (since we aren't coffee drinkers). It was delicious! We got a great rate by calling direct (better than the pricing that I saw online... but we stayed on a week night, so it may have been cheaper than a weekend stay. I have stayed in several bed and breakfast inns, and this one is the best that I have ever experienced! I highly recommend getting a room here if you are visiting Lava Hot Springs! Awesome!!!

We were driving down from Montana and got caught up in a storm so our check in time was going to be extremely late (midnight). Called the office and they were extremely accommodating. The room is secured by a keypad with a unique code given to you at check in which they gave me over the phone. The staff over the phone and in person the next day was very friendly. The room(#7) was the perfect touch of warmth and cozy feeling we needed after such a long drive. There is a pretty big mini fridge and microwave in the room. The TV is a smart TV and has dish network with several channel options. The room was very clean and decorated with cute alpaca pictures and alpaca rugs. The bathroom has a full size tub, full size 32 oz tresemme shampoo/conditioner, small hair dryer, full size pump of hand soap and lotion (see pic). The beds are extremely comfortable and they even give you extra pillows besides the ones on the bed. Inside the rooms the ac has been updated as well (see pic) and is remote controlled for easy on/off option. Each room has their own little coffee station with real mugs. Outside of each room is a small patio table and chairs for two, so you can sit and enjoy your coffee. If you prefer to stay inside to drink your coffee there is a nice comfy rocking chair. I will definitely be staying here in the future!

We stayed here New Years Eve. It was a last minute getaway for my little family. They usually have…read morea minimum of a 2 nights stay but we were able to get squeezed in between the other guests, which was really nice of them to do that. The location itself is secluded. Just a little off the Main Street but still close enough to restaurants and bars. Close enough to walk to. Which was really nice and convenient when you're driving a big truck and you don't feel like pulling in and out of the crowded areas. Plus for us, on that part haha. The room is spacey and barn house feel but really cozy and warm. The ceilings are high so we didn't feel like we were crushed in a small room. The bathroom was spacious and I love that they advertise items for sale inside the room. The bed was comfy but I ended up on the couch lol because my son fell asleep in my spot on the bed next to my husband. We didn't even stay up for the count down. I did hear the fire works while I was dozing off into sleep. It was nice a quiet. The host was really cool and friendly. Got me checked in quickly and smoothly. Check out was also quick. I liked that they had a card and keyless entry door. That solves card problems if it doesn't work and the host is out, yeah! Been there done that. Not having to worry about where the card is or where I put it saves me so much stress. Believe me, I'm so distracted with other things that I'll end up leaving my key cards in the room! Lol! Anyway, don't take my word for it, staying here is recommend. We'll definitely be back.

Location is great if you're coming to the hot springs. Tara,…read morethat manages the motel, is so sweet. Our room was very run down. One wall light that didn't work, forcing you to use the overhead light. The cushion was broken in the chair leaving you to sit on the frame. Pieces of wall missing in the bathroom. Chipped bathtub. No nightstands to put your phone, book or water on. We were on the front corner along the road and the lights from the roadway shined in all night, had to get up and get the phone several times thinking it was day and my alarm hadn't gone off only to find it was 2 am, 4:30 am, 6 am. I don't know if this is because we had a pet room, but for the $125 it might have been a tad high. Let's talk about the beds. Best thing about the room! They were thick and very comfortable.

I would not recommend staying here!!!…read more What started as a simple motel stay turned into a serious safety issue. The door to our room suddenly became completely inoperable, trapping me, my boyfriend, and our child inside. The only way we could get out was by climbing through the window. Thankfully, our room had a large enough window to escape. Some of the other rooms only have small, high windows, which could have made the situation much worse. When I informed the front desk, the employee's response was shocking: "Oh yeah, we've been having issues with that door." If they already knew it was malfunctioning, why was it never repaired before putting guests in that room? The employee tried and failed to open the door, then told us, "Luckily we have one room available tonight." We then had to wait about three hours before moving. When the room was finally ready, we had to pass all of our luggage out the window and move everything ourselves. Instead of enjoying the little vacation time we had left, we spent it dealing with a problem that could have been prevented. While we appreciated being moved to another room, it doesn't change the fact that this was a major safety hazard. At checkout, we politely asked if there was any compensation for the inconvenience, lost vacation time, and, most importantly, the safety risk. We weren't asking for a full refund--just a reasonable gesture of goodwill. Instead, we were immediately met with resistance. An employee even told us, "The owner is a stickler." When we spoke with the owner, Tyler, he dismissed our concerns almost immediately, saying, "Things happen." There was no apology, no accountability, and no indication that guest safety was a priority. Based on our experience, this property is poorly maintained, and management appears unwilling to address serious issues or stand behind their guests when something goes wrong. I cannot recommend staying here, especially if you value your safety and expect reasonable customer service when problems arise.

The suite had a mix of new and old furnishings and a little over priced for what it was. Plenty of soft pillows and everything was clean. The front desk staff was excellent. Parking on the street or in the small lot behind hotel was enough in the off season, but I think on a weekend in summer, it would be challenging to find a spot. All things considered, it was not a bad stay. This is not a 5 star establishment, but based on the other accommodations available in town, it's probably one of the better spots. Keep your expectations at the 3 star level, and you won't be disappointed.
