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?

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.

It’s an older property, so what we expected . The room was clean & cozy. Great walking path behind the property to walk your dog. Hot pools are right across the street. It would be nice if there was coffee in the room. I did see a coffee pot in the lobby, but we were on the road before the lobby opened; the diesel truck out front needed to warm up from 5:30am-6am, so we were awake!!

Very clean and well maintained. Extremely comfortable beds and great service! This was my second time here and i would always recommend this place for future visits! The rooms with the jetted tubs are definitely worth it!

Have stayed several times at this property. The hot pools are basically across the street and everything is within walking distance. The facilities are a little dated but functional. The staff is friendly. Wi-Fi could be a little finicky at times but will definitely stay again.
