The light yellow floor is very clean, and the two queen beds are very comfortable. It is very pleasant to sit on the outdoor balcony and enjoy the cool breeze at night.

The room was really nice. We especially liked the large bathtub. The free access to the mineral pool was a definite plus too. The only bad thing was the amount of insects and spiders there were inside.

This is a fairly basic hotel, but clean and confortable. The person at the counter was very helpful and even lent me a ceramic mug to make coffee in in the morning.

Cozy and Convenient!

Lava Hot Springs is a neat town, and the stay at the Lava Hotel has been pretty good! It’s located on the Main Street next to shops and restaurants that are a short walk from the room. Parking spaces were limited though. The room was very clean and cozy for our family.

Nice, older hotel, in great town location. Really good restaurant across the street. Could use a table with a couple of chairs inside, but it had a decent deck where we could play backgammon.

We liked the location and it was nice to have a place to prepare food. The Jacuzzi tub was just for looks there was not enough hot water to fill it. The outside hot tub was nice after it had been cleaned. Needs to be sprayed for insects, we killed five spiders in the room.
