We live near the Lithia Springs Resort, so my husband and I decided to try it out for our anniversary.

Upon check-in, the lady working the front desk was less than pleasant. Rather than get up from her chair, she just pointed us in the direction of our cottage with a "You'll see it". On the other hand, the entire inn was nearly empty that weekend (Christmas weekend), so we got a free upgrade (I'll deal with rudeness for an upgrade).

The room itself was beautifully appointed, and it looked much nicer than a hotel room, which is what I expected. The soaking tub was large enough for both of us to get in a good soak before afternoon tea. I see other people were treated to a glass of wine, but when we asked about the wine bar, we were told it's only open for special occasions. Afternoon tea was nice, if a little awkward with only one other couple in the room. The front desk lady came in and only spoke to the other couple, and that just added to the awkwardness. The water in the soaking tub was still hot an hour later, so I treated myself to a second soak before dinner.

Considering the Inn is just off the freeway, it was surprisingly quiet.

Breakfast was a very nice buffet spread, with both cold and hot choices.

If you are staying here, you should know up-front that this hotel is not really walking distance to any restaurants, and there is no restaurant on the premises. There is a bus stop nearby, though, so you could take the bus a couple stops up the hill to dinner in Ashland.

Stayed here coming and going on a Seattle to Vegas road trip. What a find! Most rooms have hot and cold spring water piped into the room. Fill a huge hot tub with the hot water and (if you're feeling daring) drink the cold. The spring water holds the heat so you can soak forever as the 8 hour slog on I-5 fades into memory. After your soak drive into Ashland and eat at one of the many fabulous restaurants available. Although I did not sample the afternoon tea or the wine-tasting, the breakfasts were wonderful. My first breakfast was oatmeal with cooked fruit (eggs Benedict was also available, along with a selection of muffins, bagels, juice and cold cereals), my second breakfast was French toast and sausage links and a huge bowl of fresh fruit. I also loved the murals, gardens and furnishings -- with antiques scattered here and there. A very charming and comforting place. AND the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I will definitely be back.

My husband and i spent the night here because we had purchased a groupon (www.groupon.com) so we paid $143 for a weeknight stay. There was a complimentary glass of wine for each of us, a 10% discount coupon to a local restaurant, and breakfast included for the price. The cottage we stayed in was very clean and could have easily fit 4 people since there was separate bedroom and a couch in the main room that had a hide-a-bed. the jetted tub in the room allowed us to enjoy the spring water in the privacy of our room (beware the spring water has a strong sulfer smell, although we became desensitzed to it after soaking for a short while). the staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast was the best continental breakfast i have every had!! We also had access to the living room space near the main lobby which contained a small library, some games, and comfortable seating to enjoy the activities. You could walk around the beautifully manicured grounds or find a comfortable seat to enjoy the complimentary wine.
The only downside, for me, was the lack of ammenities within walking distance [well it is right next to the car dealership if you are looking to buy a new car ;)]. i would have loved to be able to walk to dinner and back to the inn. We enjoyed this place for our anniversary, but i probably wouldn't pay full price unless it was another special occasion ($200 for a weekday rate).
Overall a great experience!

After a long drive on I-5, this is a great place to relax. Loved the hot tub in our room with natural spring water. The full breakfast in the morning, the scones and tea in the afternoon and the wine-tasting in the evening made this is a wonderful place to relax. We didn't have time for a massage but I am sure that would have been excellent as well. Ashland is full of shops and restaurants so there is plenty to do, all lit up for Christmas. A perfect stay.
