1. Caribou Gem

Bancroft

"I really loved the accommodations and the location other than the train was so loud and there was a lot. The lady met us right at the door and showed us how to use everything. We were the only occupants there so it was very quiet. The fees for using things are a little crazy but I get it. Over all definitely keep this one the list. I have two teens who do not like sharing a bed so having three beds is hard to find."

Top Central Hotel Reviews

Cobblestone Inn & Suites – Soda Springs

10/10 Excellent

"New carpet, nice big fridge, wonderful breakfast very helpful staff!"

JR Inn

8/10 Good

"Although dated and needing a refresh, it was good for what we paid for and very convenient location. Bed was comfortable enough but the pillows were totally flat. Towels were oddly small, probably the smallest I have ever seen in a hotel. But we were pleased with the temp and being able to adjust as we needed. Quiet and convenient. We would stay again."

Riverside Hot Springs Inn & Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The best way to think about the Riverside Inn is to imagine that you’re driving through southern Italy and come upon a charming but old and not terribly well maintained hotel. Your room is OK, not great, but you are able to have cocktails and a quite good dinner outside on a lovely patio next to a flowing river. You can also soak in the lava spring hot tubs in the basement. Pretty good deal."

Gorgeous views, unique stay minutes away from hot pools, golfing, restaurants.

10/10 Excellent

"It was an adorable, very clean spacious stay"

Family size, unique stay in a grain bin minutes from Lava, golfing and swimming

10/10 Excellent

"Literally only complaint was the bugs but that's not something you can control. Those beetles are EVERYWHERE in and out of town. This trip was just us girls for my daughter's bachelorette party but I will be back with my husband!! I can't wait!!!"

Lost Trail Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The nature surrounding The Lost Trail Resort is enough to want to come back, but when you factor in the ammenities, the cleanliness, and the helpfulness of the staff it makes it a guarantee that we will stay there again."

Winzig Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We need a pool"

Midtown Condo right on Main St! Walking distance to everything!

8/10 Good

"Great space for 2 people a little snug for any more! The so rounding’s are questionable! Very loud people hanging out in the walk way and behind the condo! Not a good environment for kids!"

Adventures Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"This space was way bigger than I thought it would be. It’s perfectly located within walking distance of everything in Lava."
