Great hotel
It was a wonderful hotel. Their private pool is small but nice down close to the river. Very clean rooms. Thin walls. But wonderful for the price point. Close enough to walk to the large hot springs.

Decent stay
Good location but we were not aware our room would be in a detached building behind the parking lot. There isn’t a lot of parking available and the lighting at night in the back isn’t great. Beds were comfortable.

The Hotel was great, even though the grounds were a bit eclectic and folksy. But the experience was good, the hot springs pool was awesome and easily accesible. We will stay again when we are in the area.
