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.

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.

Comfy spot
Beds were comfy , close to Maple Grove Hot springs , kind of a bummer the hot springs on site did not open till 11am. No food located at the hotel.
