The RV park and hotel are in a fantastic location along the river, just a short walk to the hot springs and local eateries. The rooms are basic but clean, making it a decent choice for families and budget travelers. However, be prepared for noise from nearby bars, which can disrupt your peace, especially at night.

We had a great weekend at the Lava Spa Motel. The location is simply unbeatable, just steps away from the hot springs. Our room was clean and provided decent comfort, though it lacked a true river view as advertised. Overall, it was a good value for what we paid, and the hospitality was warm, making our stay memorable despite a few minor hiccups.

Our family reunion at this hotel was met with mixed experiences. While we appreciated the staff's friendly greetings and their willingness to help with our AC problems, the overall stay was marred by unfortunate incidents with other guests and some room issues. It's a shame because the location could have been perfect for a family gathering, but we ended up feeling quite uncomfortable during our visit.
Rooms

Although the rooms had electric devices like a mini-fridge and microwave, we faced AC issues that required personal intervention. The chairs even had an unpleasant odor, which was quite surprising.

The management seemed genuinely friendly but fell short when handling disputes between guests. There was a visible imbalance in how they addressed our concerns compared to others.

The hotel is tucked away next to the river, providing easy access to outdoor activities, although the parking situation was challenging as we were warned not to leave for fear of losing our spot.

The facilities seemed dated, with some damage to the doors and furniture that took away from the charm. While they provided a shop vac for our AC issues, it felt like they were reacting instead of being proactive.

The motel has a great location right across from the hot springs, which was the highlight of our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, which was a plus, but the lack of hot water and other maintenance issues were major letdowns. We expected better given the price we paid, and the inconsistent service added to our frustration during our visit.

Our experience at the motel was a mix of good and bad. The location right across from the hot springs was a big plus, but we faced numerous issues with the hot water, which is a major concern. The room was clean and had comfortable mattresses, yet we felt the price did not match the value of our stay given the water troubles and overall condition of the motel.
