Staff were amazing, the room seemed really decent but the floor was very dirty and sticky. The dishwasher looked very dirty hard to trust the dishes that came out of it being clean. Dishes left in dish washer. Couch kept collapsing in on itself which made it hard to sit and enjoy a movie. Not enough silverware. Hot springs was amazing and we really enjoyed swimming and relaxing. Would stay here again just hope they clean the room a little more and maybe update some things.

The cabin was a nice step above tent camping with a bed, a big, modern flat screen TV, Keurig coffee machine with good dark roast and other coffee pods, microwave, refrigerator, air conditioner, and heater. The bed was like sleeping on an air mattress, soft and squishy. Bathroom was conveniently located in a separate building and the shower was in the pool, hot springs area. Friendly place, and a nice area to walk around enjoying the ID air.

This place is a hidden gem! Because it is not a very large resort the hot springs were never too crowded. The hotel accommodations were simple but very well maintained. The overall size and quality makes this a place everyone needs to visit when they come to Idaho.

I would go back.... we loved that the rooms are large and clean. I could not get my grandchildren out of the walk in shower with the rain shower head. Nice large pillows, which most hotels do not have along with a comfortable bed. We loved the atmosphere and hours of the pool and hot springs.

This property is great . I wish it had a couple rugs to feel a little bit more inviting, and that the bathroom was a little cleaner, but other than that for the price it was great!! The staff is really friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay there again!

Family trip to Hot Springs

Family trip to hot springs. We were able to play in the hot springs upon check in, after dinner and again the next morning. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. The improvements to the facility is well done. We will be back. So relaxing to enjoy the pools and stay on property.

We had a great time for Valentine’s Day. The hot tub was full of a bunch of loud obnoxious teenagers, but still had a great time relaxing. Bed sucked, but the jetted tub was great. Check-in was easy, and hassle free. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, would recommend this place as a weekend getaway.

Very clean and a good value. The staff was amazing. I only wished the snow removal was better, it was difficult to walk and drive on the property. Our condo was very cold when we arrived and it took hours to warm up. Overall a fun stay. We plan to return.
