I have stayed at the Lava Hot Springs Motel several times over the past four years and this stay will be the last. The bath tub was dirty, there was an ant trap on the floor and the towel bar was hanging out of the wall. The walls were also dirty and in need of paint. The veneer on the head board was coming off and all the furniture was well used and appears to have been purchased at a garage sale. It was a neat spot, but sadly, it's no longer cared for.

I have been coming to this motel for over 20 years and I just wish they would do some improvements! Anything would help! The best thing about the place is that it is across the street from the Hot Springs.

Have stayed several times at this property. The hot pools are basically across the street and everything is within walking distance. The facilities are a little dated but functional. The staff is friendly. Wi-Fi could be a little finicky at times but will definitely stay again.

It's an older hotel that can use some spackle and some fresh paint. The room can also use some additional outlets in the since most were used up by the appliances - fridge, microwave, TV, and TV accessories. There is no coffee pot in the room and the front office doesn't open until 8:30 with coffee. Bring your own shampoo, conditioner and hair dryer. On the plus side, the rooms are spacious, good tv selection, hot showers and the beds are comfy. Also the hotel is conveniently located across the street from the famous Lava Hot Springs facility. The facilities manager was very accommodating and was able to help us in our late arrival to the motel. It's not fancy but it's suited our needs.
