This place is a hidden gem! Because it is not a very large resort the hot springs were never too crowded. The hotel accommodations were simple but very well maintained. The overall size and quality makes this a place everyone needs to visit when they come to Idaho.

No hot water, and no attempt made to fix it. I picked the place for the jetted tub.

We had a great time for Valentine’s Day. The hot tub was full of a bunch of loud obnoxious teenagers, but still had a great time relaxing. Bed sucked, but the jetted tub was great. Check-in was easy, and hassle free. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, would recommend this place as a weekend getaway.

Amazing, my husband and I were on a quiet holiday to celebrate us. No real plans other than to relax. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and extremely comfortable. It was a great place to have a getaway weekend with my husband..

Enjoyable experience

It was a lot of fun for me and my two small children. The water park was awesome and the room was comfortable. Front desk service was very kind and helpful. And we got our room and water park passes for an amazing price. We will definitely return if we are ever back in the area.

TV didn’t work, except for Netflix. Front desk person came in to try. Said they’d go ask other staff and be back. Never heard a thing. Little fridge was dirty. Obviously not checked from last customer.

Beware of Pool Hours Before Booking

We packed the family up for two days swimming at the hot springs. Unfortunately the hot springs closed at 7pm the day we arrived and didn't open until well after our check out time the second day. Due to unforseen issues, we didn't arrive until 6:45pm. A disappointing trip. We got less than twenty minutes of swimming our entire stay. We are from Logan so the hotel room became unnecessary. The room was nice. The room we originally booked was not cleaned, so we moved rooms upstairs. The room was sweltering hot at 86 degrees when we arrived (it was 20 degrees outside in Jan). The shower was enjoyable, but did have quite a bit of hair from the last guests. I did not find the pillows or bed comfortable. I did not sleep well. Overall, bad planning on our part. The room was nice, but we were looking forward to lots of swimming and time with family in the hot springs. Instead we were stuck in the hotel room due to the springs not being open during our stay.

We enjoyed sitting in the hot side of the hot springs, would of liked the other pool to be a little warmer. Having more options for food and drinks The deposit was more than the room, yikes. I was taken back on that, for that price they could do a little upkeeping. The night we stayed there was a couple arguing very loudly I was ready to call the police but someone opened there door and they quieted up. After those things it's a nice little place to get away to. Everyone we talked to were so nice the young ladies so polite and helpful.
