Loa, the city that Snuggle Inn is located in, is reviewed as being a "small town that is tranquil and beautiful, with various tourist attractions for guests." The area got its name from Mauna Loa, a volcano in Hawaii, from a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints missionary who had lived in that area. Loa provides outdoor activities for tourists, including hiking, swimming, fishing and more. With its location being near various National Parks, Loa is seen as a "central destination," being within two hours of popular jeeping, hiking and fishing spots. Richard Davis promotes its location with a "stay three nights, get one free" package that is commonly used while tourists stay at the Snuggle Inn. Also promoted in the Snuggle Inn are Native American and Western cultures, with nearly $87,000 worth of art supplied throughout the hallways and rooms, something that is reviewed as being "the best part about staying at the Snuggle Inn."
The Snuggle Inn was built in 1995 by Richard Davis, with the intent to establish a nice motel in Loa. During the time it was made, Davis mentions that "there weren't really any motels in Loa, at least, none worth staying at. That is the reason why I built the Snuggle Inn was to establish a quality stay for guests in the area." Retiring from his day job in 1995, Richard was also "looking for something that [he] could easily do while taking care of [his] wife."
The property has expanded from the initial lodging to include a restaurant, salon, and used furnishings. These expansions have brought in additional guests, allowing the property to expand its services and provide more opportunities for patrons during their stay. Along with the restaurant, salon, and used furnishings, the Snuggle Inn also provides a gift shop titled "Creative Spirits gallery and gifts." Here, guests can purchase merchandise and bath products during their stay. Richard Davis has owned and operated the Snuggle Inn for the last 25 years, since its opening in 1995.
