We stayed in one of the adorable tiny cabins, and we must not have read carefully because we were surprised to find that there was no bathroom inside our little cabin. It was not a huge deal, though. We just used the facilities that were across the parking lot. They were fairly clean and overall felt pretty safe. The room was very hot initially, but the window air conditioner cooled it down pretty quickly. Really the only issues we had during the night werw the very intermittent Wi-Fi and the absolute lack of any cell service. This place is definitely off the beaten track, and it was actually nice to unplug for a night. One other possibly significant issue: the TV's reception was terrible, so accessing Netflix was difficult.The next day, we had a blast in the pools and on the water slide. The staff was super helpful, and we really appreciated the $15 food credit. Don't miss the soft serve ice cream 🙂 Overall, it was not a bad experience, especially for the price. We would do it again!
Awesome water slide! We didn't manage to get a photo of the geothermal pools, but they were amazing.
The teeny tiny cabins were so cute!

Super fun and clean

Check in was quick, responses to needs we're efficient, enough towels for the pools and shower. The lifeguards were not friendly at all but we still had a blast at the hot springs and water slides.

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.

Likely not twice

The young man who did my check in was less than polite. I had requested a ground floor room but was on the upper level instead. He did not offer to see if there was something available on the ground floor. The hotel does not have an elevator and I have breathing issues. I had to navigate 20 outdoor steps to reach the second floor and my room. As for the room, it was neat and clean. The floors were clean, the beds nicely made. The fridge and microwave both worked fine. The shower was quite large and worked very well. There is a sign in the bathroom about hot water stating it takes time to heat the shower water so it has to be turned on to let run for at least 10 minutes. The warning was nice so I didn't step into a cold shower. The beds were another story. Both beds were much too soft! I like a very firm mattress, rather than one I can sink into.

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.

Fun family friendly

You can tell this is a family run business and family friendly. The few issues we had (tv, more towels) were met with enthusiasm for / and quick response.

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.

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.

Most the staff was young and very helpful. But the lobby and property did seem like a young hangout and all their buddies showed up. Unfortunately our sink leaked, I told them they got on it, unfortunately it still continued to leak. No hot water for our shower in our room, manager said to run the water 10-20 mins. Still didn’t have hot water in the hotel until late the second day. Toilet had issue flushing kept having to take the back off. It said to leave trash outside door. I ended up throwing my trash away in a larger trash can because it wasn’t picked up and I had to use a grocery bag to replace my garage with. Hot springs opened at 11am. No extra accommodations for their hotel guess. Friday and Saturday so busy with the public. Talked with multiple hotel guest they were surprised it didn’t have extra accommodation for them as well definitely not enjoyable. Would have been nice if hotel guess had the option to access the hot-springs earlier than public. Definitely will never go back or recommend unless it’s a stop thru.
