Everything was Great from the time we checked in, The only thing I recommend is that the jetted tubs that are advertised are not actually jetted. It was a little disappointed, but it was over all a Great Location, and the rooms where clean, and the bed was soft. One thing is maybe bring your own blanket, the one provided in the room is thin, and if you go when its cooler weather it can get a little cold. I would stay again.

We staid at the cabin which was so cute and well laid out. It was a little noisy the floor was very creaky and the window unit was very loud when it turned on. But all in all it was still a nice relaxing stay conveniently located in town we were able to walk to the restaurants and the main pools. We were a bit disappointed the pool was yellow they said it was because the river water levels were high. However we did see that other pools near by the water all semed ok and not yellow.

Our original booking dates was changed by the third party so when we got there we didn’t have a room. Thankfully the hotel worked with us and rebooked for another date that worked for us. The water in the hot tub was dirty due to the spring run off and the main pool was drained and was in the process of refilling so we could use it either.

My family and I visit Lava every year between March and April, we've stayed at other locations before and now since we found this location we only stay here. We have only ever stayed in the tiny houses. We enjoy how close we are to all the shopping/ dining, and we enjoy they have their own hot pool. We enjoy that we can walk to everything. Keep in mind our visits are still during colder times, with that we do not enjoy how hard it is to keep the tiny homes warm, we do not enjoy when it snows/rains or the temp drops that ants find their way in. With those "cons" we still will return as the pros outweigh the cons.

Rooms were comfortable and clean. Other than being a little dated this is a great option if you’re staying in Lava. The town itself is a bit rundown but the hotel is above average for the area. I would stay here again without question.

We will be back for another stay!

We took a weekend trip up to enjoy the hot springs for the first time. We loved staying at The Lava Hotel. The staff was so nice and more than happy to answer any questions about the area and gave us excellent recommendations. The private pool for their visitors was a nice relief from the crowds at the other hot springs. We will definitely be back!
