Great, as always! We love the private hot pool here. We stay here just because of the hot pool. We usually get a tiny house which is comfortable and has a kitchenette and is very private and clean. Always a good experience.

10/10 Exceptional

The only downside was the train horn at night while trying to sleep.
Ryne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really, really loved having a private soaking tub in our room. Took awhile to fill up, but deeply enjoyable. Everything was super relaxing and comfortable. The bed was some of the best rest I've had in months and sitting out on the communal deck was a nice bonus for having somewhere close to soak up some sun. All of the staff were also very warm and welcoming. Aspen helped us a bunch and she was a delight to talk to. I'm still coasting on after-vacation relaxation mode and honestly cannot wait to go back!
Courtney, 1-night trip

This hotel was so cute, and in a great location. It was within walking distance of everything. The rooms were clean, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The pool was also a plus since Lava hot springs was closed for Thanksgiving.
