Nice, older hotel, in great town location. Really good restaurant across the street. Could use a table with a couple of chairs inside, but it had a decent deck where we could play backgammon.

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!!!
