We liked the location and it was nice to have a place to prepare food. The Jacuzzi tub was just for looks there was not enough hot water to fill it. The outside hot tub was nice after it had been cleaned. Needs to be sprayed for insects, we killed five spiders in the room.

We love this hotel!! We go up to lava every year for family vacation and we have stayed here the last 2 years! We have loved it!! Super convenient to walk to and from the campground, easy/quick walks up and down the streets for food or shopping, everything is literally walkable from the hotel and super accessible! It’s the perfect place to stay when you need somewhere to sleep and stay while your there! Highly recommend!!!

Hot nights but fun days

Decent facility but so hot. The AC doesn’t cover the bedroom area so it was a sweatfest all night. A simple fan would have helped, an easy fix but wowza was it miserable.

Absolutely loved our stay! The Lava Hotel was charming, clean, and right in the heart of everything. We could walk to the hot springs, grab food, and still make it back in time to relax. Cozy room, friendly staff, and great vibes all around. Would 100% stay again!
