I really like how they saved this vintage motel and brought new life into it. Excellent job on the renovation. Great place to stay the night if you are going to Lava Hot Springs.

24th celebration

I love the proximity to lava and the ability to cook in the room. You may just want to run a hair snake down the shower drain. I love this place and I’m already planning my next trip there.

Very comfy beds and newly remodeled room interior. One thing they forgot however is a dinette set. A kitchen without a place to eat your tasty vitals makes no sense.

Check in great. They called me when we were coming in late giving instructions to get in room. Got in late. Older property. Walked across floors with white socks. Socks were dirty from floors. Room was ok otherwise. Beds were comfortable. Shower pressure nice. Not a bad stay for the money, just older property.

A little out of the way but worth it for the price

The motel is very well decorated and clean inside. Outside is clean, but plain. It’s next to the railroad tracks so the train horn woke me up a few times, but my adult grandson slept through it. I’ll stay at Caribou Gem again if I’m in the area

I was surprised to see we had a kitchen in our unit. Made it great to feed the kids& i appreciated that one of the beds was in a room. There is no heating in the bathroom so it got pretty cold in there but other than that our stay was great. I would recommend some better seating, my father in law is old& was uncomfortable when we were around the table. The unit was very clean& provided what we needed for the night
