At Library INN - Boutique Rooms - Hot Tub, travelers highlight the charming literary theme, small but comfortable rooms, and useful shared spaces like the kitchen and hot tub, alongside a generally quiet edge-of-town location near Lava Hot Springs.
Many praise overall cleanliness and the inviting common areas. Common drawbacks include thin walls and noise from common areas or late hot tub use, train horns at night, a basic and sometimes inconsistent breakfast, and occasional hiccups with self check-in, communication, or housekeeping. Expect a quaint, self-serve stay with character and some trade-offs.

This is a really cute property which at first glance was great. My review ratings are related to that but there were some problems. After an easy check-in, it quickly became apparent that sound carries and any conversations in the property can be easily heard including that of late night hot tubbers. The breakfast bar was minimal and appeal lessened by a non-working toaster and non-working, unclean waffle set up. The coffee bar including some item containers which were empty. There is no staff on site, but check in was smooth, and phone conversations were very good. Perhaps more attention good be paid to these details.

INN was cute. Large kitchen and meeting area. Each room decorated with a theme. Very quiet in the motel. But the constant trains that went by all through the night woke me up!!! Their horns!!! Yikes! I’m not used to that so my sleep wasn’t good. The train isn’t close by but it’s all in the middle of nowhere so the sounds were crazy! Down the street from lava.

Peaceful and quiet the room was nice, i liked the theme rooms but i would have like to pick which room i was in based on the themes. To have the book the theme is based on would have been a nice touch. The hot tub never heated up which was part of why wew chose the hotel.

This was one of the cutest places I've stayed at. You walk in and it looks like a cozy library (hence the name). There are books everywhere. In front of you is a white board with suggestions and people's comments. In the corner is a very well appointed coffee, tea and cocoa bar. The room was very nice with a great bathroom. Outside is a hot tub, grill and fire pit. The seats were well worn, but still comfortable. The kitchen was great with a large stove and cooktop. It's the type of place you could stay for an extended period and feel like home. My only slight complaint is that breakfast was supposed to be served at 7. It didn't come out until 7:30.and the milk was expired for the cereal. We were on a bit of a tight time schedule, so it did put a small kink in our plans. But overall, fantastic and I would stay again in a heartbeat!

There was a shelf in the shower that was on the floor with bottles of shower stuff scattered on the floor. It must have fallen off the wall before we got there. We didn't notice it until we took a shower in the morning. Also, the breakfast could have had signs showing where the waffle mix was, and could there be eggs available. That would have been nice.

Although it is beautifully decorated—a great idea—and the beds are comfortable the walls are so thin you can hear most everything going on around you. Instead of a signed book ear plugs should be provided. (Although we never got the book either…) Ps—albeit, not the owners fault but we had neighbors fighting at 2am and we could hear all of it as if living in the same house with no privacy or separation.

Nice clean and quiet place on the edge of town. Interesting remote check in, room and entry codes emailed to you to gain entry. Our room lacked any hooks or hangers to hang clothes. The rooms are small but adequate. Breakfast consists if coffee/tea, waffles and cereal. Definitely would recommend for single or couple. No children allowed as there is no space for a cot or extra mattress.

Room was small but nice and clean. Check-in was frustrating since i was never sent the door code, Room number had changed and since they have no front desk it is all done via emails and text.....except I never got them and had to call 4 times to get someone to answer while awkwardly wanting in the common room. Then the customer service person who was kind and helpful was supposed to send me an after hours door code. Never got it, called later to get it and no answer again, left a voicemail no response. Waited an hour called again, got code verbally for the doors and she was going to send it to me, she verified my phone number to send it to, never got it again. Thank goodness I got it verbally from her or we could have been left locked out.

It would have been better if there had been a proprietor or host to greet us . We felt a little responsible for those that didn't know how to check in. Should we lock the front door? Should we turn out the lights. The breakfast was nice, but would have liked to meet someone who provided it. The rooms were nice

It was my very first time in Lava and my very first time to experience a INN or a stay like this. It was a great experience for my husband and I as we celebrated our 35th anniversary there, it was super cute. It was convenient paying through the site and very convenient when arrived. The staff was friendly when you call to speak to them. We enjoyed our first time together and experience here! It was far enough to be in a quiet place but close enough to go into town to enjoy the busy streets and activities if you wanted to be in town for all the festivities.

The Shakespere room was good, if you leave the window open, be prepared for the train horns. If they had the A/C optional for guests to set would’ve great. Water in the fridge for guests would have topped off my requests!!!!

Nice clean and quiet place on the edge of town. Interesting remote check in, room and entry codes emailed to you to gain entry. Our room lacked any hooks or hangers to hang clothes. The rooms are small but adequate. Breakfast consists if coffee/tea, waffles and cereal. Definitely would recommend for single or couple. No children allowed as there is no space for a cot or extra mattress.

It was my very first time in Lava and my very first time to experience a INN or a stay like this. It was a great experience for my husband and I as we celebrated our 35th anniversary there, it was super cute. It was convenient paying through the site and very convenient when arrived. The staff was friendly when you call to speak to them. We enjoyed our first time together and experience here! It was far enough to be in a quiet place but close enough to go into town to enjoy the busy streets and activities if you wanted to be in town for all the festivities.

Dining
Breakfast is simple—mainly coffee, waffles, cereal, and pastries—and appreciated by some. Others found it minimal or inconsistently maintained, with occasional delays, empty or nonworking items, and one report of no breakfast and an unanswered call.

The Dracula room was fun . Although we could not get the tv to play a single channel not even YouTube. After a few hours of trying we gave up on the tv. The breakfast was awesome as well as the coffee. I would stay here again but make sure the tv worked first. It has a very friendly staff as well.

This is a really cute property which at first glance was great. My review ratings are related to that but there were some problems. After an easy check-in, it quickly became apparent that sound carries and any conversations in the property can be easily heard including that of late night hot tubbers. The breakfast bar was minimal and appeal lessened by a non-working toaster and non-working, unclean waffle set up. The coffee bar including some item containers which were empty. There is no staff on site, but check in was smooth, and phone conversations were very good. Perhaps more attention good be paid to these details.

There was a shelf in the shower that was on the floor with bottles of shower stuff scattered on the floor. It must have fallen off the wall before we got there. We didn't notice it until we took a shower in the morning. Also, the breakfast could have had signs showing where the waffle mix was, and could there be eggs available. That would have been nice.

Shoer had hair in the corners, faucet barely attached, had to use the showers soap dispenser to wash hands. Breakfast is store bought pastries and packages oatmeal. The rooms are small, hot and poorly put together. The rooms doors are to small and leave the hall light coming through all night to leave you sleepy the next day. You can here everyone in fheir rooms especially the beds and the people tall a d the kids screaming. Hotter the heck in tbe rooms, had to keep the window open all night. The front door allows anyone to walk in gueat or not since they commonly leave the front door open all day and night. Lack of comfort, space, and feeling relaxed

This was one of the cutest places I've stayed at. You walk in and it looks like a cozy library (hence the name). There are books everywhere. In front of you is a white board with suggestions and people's comments. In the corner is a very well appointed coffee, tea and cocoa bar. The room was very nice with a great bathroom. Outside is a hot tub, grill and fire pit. The seats were well worn, but still comfortable. The kitchen was great with a large stove and cooktop. It's the type of place you could stay for an extended period and feel like home. My only slight complaint is that breakfast was supposed to be served at 7. It didn't come out until 7:30.and the milk was expired for the cereal. We were on a bit of a tight time schedule, so it did put a small kink in our plans. But overall, fantastic and I would stay again in a heartbeat!

There is no staff on site at all. There was a loud party in a room near us, sounded like teenagers. Through 1am they kept waking us up. It says only adults on the property, but if these were adults they were barely 18 and using the small property as a party spot. With no staff on site we couldn’t get staff to help us quiet them down. Otherwise beautiful place. Quaint and clean. Good breakfast other than you have to make your own waffle batter to use the waffle maker, would be nice to have a pitcher of made waffle batter in the fridge for us all. Amazing muffins they got from somewhere local. Would stay there again.

Welcome letter stated that there was only one thermostat that could control the temperature for the whole property, however our room AC had turned off at night never to turn back on, while the rest of the property felt cool, making our stay very uncomfortable.

Pros: Nice quiet location. Room clean. Cons: Recipe posted to make the waffle batter, but no measuring cups to measure out the ingredients. Bathroom (Room #4-Dracula) was extremely narrow-had to shift around the sink to use the toilet. There is no temp control in the room, and it was very warm.
