The motel has a fantastic location right across from the hot springs, making it perfect for those who want quick access to relax in the water. The rooms are reasonably clean, but they could use some updates to feel fresher and more inviting. The service was decent, accommodating to our needs, but there were some concerns regarding security. Overall, it's a budget-friendly choice for those looking to enjoy the hot springs without spending too much.
