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

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

8/10 Good

"The bathroom in the master bedroom was slow draining. And there were lots of bugs, but that’s a seasonal problem. They were elder bugs. Kind of noisy in the backyard along that road."

Riverside Hot Springs Inn & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very kind and helpful. Loved this place. I’m going to plan to stay longer next time we come through."

Cobblestone Inn & Suites – Soda Springs

8/10 Good

"The motel was very clean throughout as well as the rooms. Breakfast was yummy and staff were very pleasant. Quite surprised by the accommodations in a smaller community like Soda Springs."

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."

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

10/10 Excellent

"It was an adorable, very clean spacious stay"

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."
