Many places in Lava are converted homes and I wanted an actual hotel. This place was nice, had a large bathroom and walk in shower. The train tracks go right by town so no matter where you stay you're going to hear them, this place is no exception. It's right in the middle of main street and all shopping and dining were 1 or 2 small blocks away which was fantastic. Parking is cramped as far as availability but we got a spot (last one). My only real complaint is the heater was loud any time it kicked on, which was often in order to keep the room warm in winter. We could also easily hear the people above us and every time they used their bathroom. It didn't bother me so much but it really bothered my sister. Just the way sound transfers through pipes you could hear peeing then really loud when the toilet flushed, their sink, or using the shower. Wasn't a deal breaker for me though. the state owned hot springs were an easy walk, about 4 little blocks away. I'd stay there again.
