The Pineapple Express Hot Tub Volcano 65 Mi Away

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “The Pineapple Express Hot Tub Volcano 65 Mi Away,” I thought someone was pulling my leg. But you know what? This quirky 3-star spot actually delivers on its promise of being delightfully weird in all the right ways. The whole place has this tropical-meets-adventure vibe that shouldn’t work but somehow totally does. Walking into the lobby, you’re hit with this mix of pineapple-scented air freshener (not overpowering, thankfully) and the distant sound of bubbling water from their signature hot tub area. The staff clearly gets that they’re running something unconventional – they lean into the theme without making it feel like a cheesy tourist trap.

The rooms are honestly better than you’d expect for a 3-star property. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable with these fun little pineapple touches that made me smile every time I walked in. The beds are actually pretty decent – I’m picky about mattresses and slept well both nights. What really sets this place apart though is that hot tub situation they’ve got going on. It’s designed to look like you’re soaking in a volcanic crater, complete with fake rock formations and some clever lighting that makes the whole thing glow at night. I mean, it’s definitely over the top, but after a long day of driving (and yes, you’ll probably be driving – this isn’t exactly downtown anywhere), it’s exactly what you want. The water’s always the perfect temperature, and they keep it clean, which honestly isn’t a given at some places I’ve stayed.

Here’s the thing about the location – that “65 Mi Away” part of the name isn’t just random. You’re genuinely out there, which can be either perfect or problematic depending on what you’re after. If you’re looking for a quiet escape with some personality, this works. The parking is easy and free, check-in was smooth even when I arrived pretty late, and the night manager actually gave me some solid recommendations for breakfast spots the next morning. The 8.0 rating makes sense – it’s not luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises with zero pretense. Just don’t expect room service or a concierge desk. This is more about unplugging, soaking in that ridiculous hot tub under the stars, and having a story to tell when you get home.
