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!

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.

delightful staff. rooms are simply furnished and rough around the edges but the employees will do their best to fix it. our tv was locked on one channel and we couldn't figure out how to get it back to normal, and the kind lady at the front desk came over to try and help us fix it personally.

Heater was great, tub drained slowly, but reported to property who were eager to repair. Wifi was far away and low signal and not effective for my switch console or phone. Staff was very friendly and the proximity to the hotsprings was unbeatable. Overall great stay for a quick one-night trip!

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.
