Cute and cozy inside.
The outside is deceiving. The inside is cute, remodeled and cozy. Our deadbolt wouldn’t lock (room 7) and we didn’t like that but it was a good place to stay passing through. There is no front desk but you just call the number from online and they tell you what to do.

Todo muy bien limpieza, estado de la propiedad e instalaciones, el unico problema el tren, pero luego nos percatamos que el ruido del tren tambien se escucha en Lava Hot spring por eso decidimos calificarlos con esta puntuación

The train can be quite annoying, but the location and price were great if you are wanting to go to Lava and aren't looking to camp. Check in was a bit confusing, as there is no on site office, but staff answered quickly and were very helpful. The full kitchen was a great feature and all amenities were up to date. Having a roku in the room was a great feature for my kids. I wish it was easier to get new towels and soaps. Otherwise, I would give it 5 stars.

The rooms are super cute and you can park right by the door to your room. It’s a super small town with no amenities so make sure you have everything you need. The kitchenette was stocked and nice to have, it was tucked in the corner with plenty of space in the rest of the room.

Unit 7 deadbolt does not lock. We had to put our suitcases against it. In general it is very clean but floor had not been swept at this stay. We had problems last time we stayed with the door locks not working. Trains horns go off regularly but that is no fault of the property. Bring ear plugs. Safe area

Pretty country area. Town is a ghost town, no stores or restaurants, have to go to Lava or Soda springs for anything. Right next to train tracks that was quite noisy. Room was updated and fairly nice. Other guests were noisy, coming and going throughout the night. They parked so close to my car and dinged the doors.

Check in was a bit of a nightmare. 1st there is no front office, which I was aware of. I called the # & got voicemail. Called again was told my room # & that that it's unlocked with keys inside. Well it was locked! Then I was given the code to the laundry room & the code on a box to get the key. No key! Was told the manager would be there in 15min. She arrived, apologized & said I get a $ 20 refund which I haven't seen on my credit card yet.

Very reasonable for a weekend stay. It was an easy drive to activities we wanted to do in the area. The room was neat and clean. Loved having a kitchenette. The staff was very quick to respond to our questions. I would recommend the property.

When we arrived at the hotel, I was initially disappointed by the outside appearance. I called the number to check in. A lady showed up quick and got us our key. Inside, the rooms were nice and clean. It was well taken care of and comfortable. There is a complete kitchen. Fridge, stove, microwave, sink, and stocked with utensils, plates and cups. I would have liked a larger tv but that was not that big of an issue.
