The room was clean and big too, the bathroom was small but not a big deal, the only thing I did notice that we did not have a hair dryer which was a bummer. Overall It was really functional nice and clean I would for sure away here again.

Room was great! Check in was odd having to call a phone number that I had to leave a message at but didn’t get a return call. Another guest who I met in the parking lot gave me a different number that got me right through to the person who gave me the key code and then all was smooth.

Calling to check in was a bit confusing cause the phone number provided in one email wasn't correct. Once I found another number listed I was helped and taken care of by the friendly staff. The area was clean and the rooms were decent. Has a small kitchen and fridge to cook or store food and there's AC unit. There was a TV to watch but didn't utilize it. The room was clean and nice place to stay the night. 15 minutes from lava hot springs so was convient.
