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!

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.

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.
