The hotel management did not contact us when they are closing down due to the forest fire in the area. We showed up at the hotel and saw a notice on the door. We called the hotel and one of personnel said they will refund the money then hung up on us. We unable to connect again and have to scramble that evening to find a place to stay, but nothing is available at least 30 miles out; so we are ending sleep in the van in one of the hotel parking lot approx. 25 miles away from Lava Mountain Lodge hotel. It is unprofessional as part of hotel management run the business. Never want to come back again.

We booked a night stay here and the hotel was inaccessible from either point of entry of the road it sits on due to the state closing the road for a forest fire. I called the hotel early the day of when I saw the warning on the GPS and they confirmed we could still access their hotel and the road was closed \"a few miles up from them\". We drove 20 miles towards the property only to find that the road was closed 16 miles before we could get to the hotel. Nothing changed on the DOT website for where the road was closed from the morning so the staff was just uninformed. I called again and told them there was no way to get to them and requested to cancel and refund. The staff wasn't super friendly or even empathetic. Customer service could have gone a long way here. They cancelled but refused a refund, which was mind bogglign considering they were inaccessable for another 24 hrs. No servies/stay were rendered and we're expected to pay? When hurricanes hit and businesses need to close, they don't still charge people services. Its the cost of doing business. Its unforunate a company is unwilling to do the right thing in these situations.

It was a cheap place to stay on its last leg. The bed was broken and the mattresses were very old and dirty. The pillows were barely there. The overall property was not maintained or updated. The staff was nice and accommodating. The amenities like coffee bar, laundry facilities and WiFi were VERY limited. No coffee, only one washer and dryer that worked that everyone had to wait for. We were barely able to use our phones with the WiFi and weren’t able to use the tv at all because of the WiFi connection.

Okay

We stayed one night in one of the front rooms. The room was very large and clean. It seemed to be fairly recently remodeled with fresh paint and trim and newer carpet.

We arrived late, a few minutes before 9p. Checkin was easy as our key was left on the front door. One reason we chose to stay here was because they had a bar and restaurant but unfortunately both were closed - I should have double checked the hours. It is miles to any alternatives.

The beds appeared to be newer but they were not super comfortable- definitely on the hard side. Each bed only had two pillows - two more per bed would have made it much more comfortable.

There was not a coffee pot in the room and the pot in the office was broken but we were able to buy a cup in the restaurant.

Overall it was an okay stay - good price for the area, large and clean room, could have used a few touches to make it more comfortable.

This property is really old, and needs major renovation! The mattresses were disgusting, the carpet was smelly and in need of replacement, the ceiling had water damage, and you can hear water drip somewhere in the walls or ceiling. The bathroom was filthy. The door would not secure. I returned to my room from a long day of excursions to find my room wide open. I informed a staff member (she was lovely) however, she advised that room #7 & 8 (which we were assigned) has an issue with the locking mechanism that they couldn't fix. This situation could have been easily fixed by replacing the old damaged door, that you can see the outside from the lower portion of the door frame where it appears that it may have been kicked in once or twice. The gift shop was old, dusty, and in need of a deep clean and overhaul.
The staff were helpful and nice. Another good thing about this location is that you could park directly in front of your room, which was quite helpful to load and unload your vehicle. The best plus about this property is that they had electric charging station for electric vehicles. That was fantastic!
This property has the potential of being great. It needs a complete overhaul.

Never again

When we arrived at 3:20pm we waited at the office desk for 20 minutes for someone to check us in. The whole building including the restaurant was empty.

We did finally get checked in.

Dinner was tough. The one employee here has to go back and forth between running the bar, cooking all the food, and checking in people.


Our room was disgusting. The counter and sink look like they haven't been cleaned in weeks and the toilet and tub are worse. A literal hairball is sitting on top of the drain.

When I visited the front desk and asked what could be done I was told that there isn't anyone available to come clean and no alternative room. I asked for cleaner & some paper towels so I could clean it myself.

It took 5 minutes to find cleaner.

I offered to bring back the paper towels when we finished cleaning our own bathroom but was told for my troubles I could keep them.

They actually helped since our room had no hand towels. Also no soap, no washcloths, or cups.

After we cleaned the bathroom we decided to call it a night. Discovered that of the 2 double beds in our room one was missing the top sheet.

We were supposed to stay here again in a few days but you might imagine our family won't do a round 2.

There is a no refund policy within 7 days which is understandable but given our experience I asked if there was a manager. I was given a # for corporate. I called and was told by the answering service to send an email. The email bounced back undeliverable. Buyer beware

Buyer beware

We booked this hotel because it advertised a restaurant on site, with a lounge. These were not open, so we had to drive back to Dubois after driving all day. The room had 3 light bulbs burned out. We had no hot water, and was told someone would be there to take care of it, but never heard back. Staff is on site, just not at office, they stay in a big house behind lodge. WiFi is spotty and there is no cell service. Rooms do not have air conditioning, we were ok, since it was May, but probably not if staying in summer.

Room was very spacious. We would have wished that they offered a continental breakfast like cereal or bagels and coffee as we left early in the morning to take advantage of the day and you are not allowed to cook in the room. But was a nice place to stay overall.

Well for starters there was no refrigerator in the unit. Very disappointing, not even a mini fridge. There was no microwave either in the room. We had to use the microwave in the main lobby which is only open after 8am till 8pm. Not very convenient if you like to start your day early. Also, there was a constant flow of people using the communal bathrooms, some of which were not even staying at the facility. Additionally, there is what appears to be an old greenhouse which is currently being used for storage. This would be ok, but it is blocking the beautiful view of the river valley which you can still see if you walk past the greenhouse but not from your room because this structure is rather big. On the plus side you are very close to GTNP and about 20 minutes away from Dubois.

When we arrived we found that our reservation through Expedia had been cancelled by the \"owner\" of the Lava Mountain Lodge. Apparently, if I have the story straight, Expedia gave me a discounted deal, and the owner didn't want to accept that low of payment, so he cancelled it. They never contacted me. When I showed up, they did not honor the Expedia reservation. But luckily they had 1 room left which they rented to me at the regular high price. Very disappointing. But I needed the room, so I took it at the higher price and paid them by my CC. They said Expedia would refund the amount I had previously paid to Expedia when I made the reservation. I hope so.

Pleasant, nice staff.

A very nice, western place to stay. Staff and service were excellant, pleasant and interesting.

Only issue was lack of cook for breakfast. Totally forgivable with state of economy.

The room was NOT clean. I had to remove a clump of long hair from the bathtub drain. There was mildew and brown stains on the shower curtain. There were blood stains on the mattress cover. Listed amenities include laundry facilities. Laundry room was locked. I asked about opening it and was told no laundry facilities. This place should not be listed on any reputable travel site.

Old dirty room but fairly priced

Stains on the ceiling tiles from a leak. Broken toilet seat. Mold on shower curtain. Very weak wifi signal. No A/C when it was hot in the evening. It might be great as a stay for a hunting trip with the guys, but not where I should have taken my gal for a weekend trip.

The staff were nice but are definitely not available after 8:00 to help you. It’s in the middle of no where so there’s no cell service which would be fine except there’s no wifi because they haven’t paid their bill. The rooms are dark & pretty dirty/dusty. Sheets are definitely scratchy. They say they’ve got a hair dryer in the room but they didn’t. The area they are in is beautiful.

The dining facility was very nice and very friendly staff. Sandwiches were the dinner menu. However, they did not serve breakfast and there was no where to eat for hours. Description of lodge should state it is miles from any thing.

Amazing place. Clean and beautiful. It’s about 45 mins from north entrance of grand Teton and 1.5hr from south Yellowstone entrance. The surrounding is beautiful. The price is right.

HORRIBLE -- DO NOT BOOK. It is a scam now

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! Read all the other recent review!
They gave us a dirty room that hadn't been cleaned after the previous guests, YIKES! Lava Mountain Lodge SCAMMED us and left us helpless.
My wife and I booked this place and we showed up after 8pm. So we were aware that there would be no one would be at reception. That usually would be no issue if the room was in good, or even ok condition. However, the room they left for us had been slept in and used by other guests before us, AND NEVER CLEANDED! The beds were a messed and smelled like someone who had bad hygiene had slept in it previously. There was trash in the trash cans and elsewhere as well. Based on the level of trash, I'm guessing the previous guests had slept there at least 2 nights. There was a pile on nasty wet towels in the bathroom doorway. The toilet was definitely soiled. It horribly disgusting. There was also tiny little pebbles all over the floor, don't know what that was about.
But to make everything worse, there was no way to get a hold of customer service. So we were forced to either sleep in the nasty bed, or sleep in our car. There was no cell reception there, nor was there wifi working, so we couldn't check if any hotels nearby had availability. There was no one at reception the next day either to help figure things out
We tried resolving the issue and maybe get a refund or at least partial refund, but the people were awful to us. I called the Lava Mountain Lodge and the guy that answers the phone

DO NOT STAY HERE

The hotel was not open when we showed up for our reservation. They charged us the entire amount, even though they were not open. We are out over $500 for a stay that we could not complete, and could not cancel, because THEY WERE NOT OPEN! No one answered the phones, no one was there.

Arrived late after check-in closed, but they were so nice and left the key in an envelope on the lobby door. Car was able to park directly in front of room. Such a beautiful, authentic western feel to the room. We arrived when it was pitch-black out so we were thrilled in the morning to see the spectacular views. We could hear elk bugling from our room. The lodge overlooks a gorgeous valley between two mountains. There were horses free roaming in the valley we could watch and pet near the barn. There is a gift shop and restaurant in the lodge. Laundry room available but we didn’t check it out. There is (admittedly very pricey) gas available out front to fill up your vehicle. Such a great location. Such a great place. Well worth the money.

We decided to stay here from hearing about it from a group of sleders. We saved money and used our points on Expedia ($89 of points) for this stay and the 2 double bed room still came out to 85$ cad. We loved the grounds and the staff were amazing! We were disappointed in our room. The beds felt like a glorified cot. Very old and uncomfortable. There was not enough toilet paper for the night and we had to get some from car mid-night. As others have said the wifi is only strong in the restaurant which was no issue for us. Still a wifi booster doesn’t cost much…The restaurant food was ok, we were skimped on sausages for breakfast. None was there for any of our meals. We were told there was a recent change in management for the worse. Would we stay there again, no. Next time we will stay in the next town out at the super 8 cheaper for the expected same experience.
