Great Anniversary at the Lava Hotel
The Lava Hotel was perfect for our New Year's Eve anniversary trip to New Year's Day! Despite the challenging TV, the room was clean, warm, and comfortable in 18-degree weather.

We went during a quiet period so this review is as such, I imagine the experience will be different during the peak seasons. The place is well prepared for our arrival and the check-in process was easy. The receptionist called us to make sure we didn't have any trouble. Our stay was pleasant for the one night we stayed. There was ample sleeping arrangements for our family of four (2 teenagers).

Found this Hotel cozy and Quaint. Set up was great for families, except no doors on rooms/shower area. But I did LOVE the room. Great deck. A block away from the Hot Springs. Thank you to wonderful stuff, they were very friendly!

Cute little motel. Newly renovated. Very tight for ,2 people and 2 dogs. But very comfortable. Their private soaking pool was delightful. I will definitely return. The town of lava hot springs is adorable.
