This hotel was so cute, and in a great location. It was within walking distance of everything. The rooms were clean, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The pool was also a plus since Lava hot springs was closed for Thanksgiving.

The room was ok. Nothing really bad about it. It was adequate. The parking is highly inadequate. Probably 6 spots for 30 rooms. I don’t know the exact ratio but plan on parking down the road someplace.
