This was our 4th time staying at the Riverside and each time it only gets better from the excellent food to the massages! I got to know several of the work force this time and Randy was awesome at 6:30 in the morning as well as Cheyenne. We took friends up with us the last two times and they won't... More

This is a classic hotel, very much like it must have been at the turn of the last century. Close to celebrating 100 years of business, this charmer may not be for those wishing to have room service, spotless modern furnishings and the maids turning down your bed with a mint on the pillow before your return from a night...

We stayed here in March and found the old hotel to be interesting and the staff to be very friendly. As an old hotel, it was somewhat noisey and there wasn't enough hot water to take a shower at 9am. The hotel has mineral tubs. One was outside and way too hot, by the time i found how to add... More

We are fre The quent lava visitors as we have lived relatively close a few times. We decided to be thrifty on this visit and spend less than money than you spend at one of the nicer hotels. I would say the best part about this hotel is the staff and the breakfast. The staff was very friendly and the... More

This hotel is exactly what it advertises itself to be, a historical property with different types of rooms and PRIVATE mineral baths. My husband and I loved it. The staff was overly friendly and helpful without being intrusive and annoying. It is an older hotel and it states that. The reviews that were so negative actually prompted our stay. We... More

These guys saved our weekend. Last room in town! Greeted by the chef @ 10 at night wondering if we wanted him to cook something for dinner before he left. A nice welcome smile from the nice check in lady and a nice thick towel and Robe for a half an hour in a private mineral tub, right before we... More

This was my first time staying at this little hotel, and I have to say that I won't stay anywhere else! The staff ensured that I was completely taken care of, from the towels in my room to the amazing meal that I had in the restaurant. The private hot soaking mineral pools are to die for! I slept like... More

this is the third time my wife and I have come to stay at the Riverside Inn in Lava Hot Springs. The private hot tubs, the great food in the Portneuf Grill, and the amazing staff make this an amazing get away each time. I cannot recommend the Riverside enough.

The food and menu was excellent. The hotel is in need of a complete update. It's a quaint old building, but the beds are HORRIBLE! The bed was so uncomfortable that I slept on the floor. Old linens, lousy towels, and the soaking rooms aren't very nice either. A lousy way to experience this great hot springs town for the... More

The staff graciously welcomed us without a reservation after the original booking had ants, etc. We rented the apartment for 2 nights. There is so much potential here to be tapped. 3 of the major appliances were broken and signs warning about their use needed to be replaced. The heating system was noisy but served the purpose of drowning out... More
