Not only did it STINK and the beds sunken and unsanitary, the pools where open to the public with kids doing cannon balls from one pool to another. There is nothing relaxing about the Inn and I toured all of their delapitated rooms available hoping to see somehting better than the one i had reserved. DONT MAKE RESERVATIONS- the cancellation...

The Inn is just what it claims to be. Down home, rustic and wonderful. Yes they have a dog, yes he is sometimes in the kitchen. Do these people put their animals outside every time they eat? B&Bs have animals. If you want antiseptic, stay at a hospital. The whole reason you go to Lava is to relax. It is... More

This is not the Ritz, not the most glamorous of locations, but if you want a peaceful, friendly, and inviting environment, this is the place for you. It's location is easy to find, parking is adequate, but not very inviting. Hotel is old, but homey. There are 6 hot pools, two are too hot for comfortable use, but the four... More

The things I liked about this hotel were the hot spring pools on the property. I liked being able to step out of the hot spring and go to my room. My husband and I had massages on site by therapist that were called in from somewhere else... we enjoyed our massages. I can appriciate the eclecticness of the place... More

We liked the quaint friendly atmosphere of this old hotel. We served ourselves appetizers and drinks in the second floor "conservatory" and were quickly joined by other friendly guests. We used four of the hot six pools on site and they were being used but were not crowded. This is in contrast to the public pool that we walked by... More

Gotta go to Lava Hot Spings. You will love it. Cute little town. Nice people. The hot springs are wonderful!!! You will feel like a million dollars and wish you had your very own at home. Family friendly but, if you're looking for a romantic getaway there are some very nice private rooms. More

I'm shocked to read these reviews that make this hotel sound like anything more than the dump it is. It is overpriced for what you get. I agree the hot spring pools were nice, but these aren't private so just pay the fee to use them and sleep somewhere else. It was still warm in September when we stayed there... More

Although asked by this guest not to respond, I would like to respond anyway. Lava Hot Springs is an old-fashioned town with a lot to offer. Yes we have trains that go by the town, which Lava Hot Springs itself can not control. Our hotels are meant to create the old town atmosphere, with beautiful hot springs for our guests... More
