I liked the price, the location, and the staff. We stayed there while on a motorcycle trip, we pulled a trailor and had our own lawn chairs so we set them on the lawn outside our room's window and had a lovely relaxing evening. We could walk to the Muesuem and the Covered Wagon Restaraunt and the Hot Springs right accross the street. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay at Lava Motel & RV Park. Our room had a jacuzzi tub! And it right across the street from the Hot Springs as well as the river access for tubing. We could hear the river from our room, it was so relaxing!

Box elder bugs in the room... hair of previous guests in the towels, paper thin doors that didnt seal to the door frame at any point, so the blessed motorcycle customers coming an going all night to the bars was... annoying. The exhaust fan in our room didnt work so the steam from the big jetted tub made the room damp. TV was small... almost Michael Scott Plasma small... and the cable package they purchased was 73 channels of QVC in 7 languages and a fuzzy local channel... it was worse than no tv at all to be honest. The best thing about the stay... aceoss the street from the good hot springs in town and a short walk to Rouge Restaurant... the only elevated eating experience in town... the Pot Roast was TOP SHELF. The guy running the place was super kind and hilarious... he deserves a better property to run. It looks kitchy online... its not very kitchy... we were hoping a motel like Sam an Dean from SuperNatural would stay in... we search those out. That is not what this is. An thats ok.

Location near the Hot Springs was perfect. Room was clean but an older motel. No Wifi accessible or information at the desk or in the room although it said it was available. Office was locked up at 8:00 am next morning so not available to get coffee until after 8:30.

Everything was kept clean and the staff was friendly and very accommodating. We didnt have pets with us, but I know that it was welcoming to pets because we saw dogs everywhere and they were allowed in most of the shops. The shops were close by and were in walking distance. We had such a good time!

The property does accept pets, although we did not have one this trip. Staff was professional and friendly, we did not need much from them so our interaction was minimal. Room was clean and we had not complaints for concerns. It is nicely located right across from the main hot pools in the town. Everything is with in walking distance which is one of the reasons we love it here.

The room was adequate and clean and the staff was pleasant. The motel is definitely out dated and in need of new bathtubs and shower walls. Overall it was just ok. Good location.
