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.

My stay at this motel was quite a mixed bag. The price was reasonable, and I appreciated the clean environment. However, the condition of the rooms was less than ideal, with outdated furniture and maintenance issues.

The stay was interesting; while the location is superb with easy access to hot springs and the river, I faced issues with my room's condition and the service. The pricing is attractive, yet the overall experience fell short in certain areas, particularly with the room quality and customer support.
