Colorado Hot Springs Getaway (Part 1)

If you’re looking for a classy, upscale, sleek, modern spa with hot springs, this is not it. This is a spa build in the 1990s that has not been modernized (with the possible exception of the changing rooms, which seemed much newer), and much of the building materials are mismatched and discolored. All that said, if you want to experience completely natural hot springs in an array of rocky, cement, and tub-style pools (total of 16 at the time of our visit in February, including uncovered, covered, and indoors) for a great price in a snowy mountainside, you’re in luck. We came here as a pit stop to kill 2 hours before heading to Denver airport and to experience hot springs for the first time, and it was perfect for that purpose. It was not busy when we arrived at 9:30 but was decently so by the time we left at 11:30. They had everything we needed available to purchase or rent - towels, sandals, robes, even swimsuits, as well as water fountains scattered throughout. Walk ins are welcome and their operating hours are excellent (8am to 10pm if I recall correctly), and you can come and go off the property as long as you notify the front desk. The staff was helpful and friendly, as were the locals that apparently come there on a daily basis. The pools that are set higher in the mountain are typically the hotter pools, and vice versa, ranging from 114-90ish Fahrenheit; they have varying levels of minerals though the only distinction made on the signs was the high-magnesium pool. All of the pools are filled with water ONLY from the 122 acre property’s 7 hot springs, without any additives such as chlorine; they do certainly have the sulfur smell but it didn’t bother me after 20 minutes or so. We definitely felt relaxed and loose after 2 hours. Children are only allowed on the base floor where the cooler pools are, so I was glad we didn’t have our kids with us as I preferred the higher pools. They also offer massages (I don’t recall pricing) and private pools for $30 per person for one hour, both of which are easily booked online. We started with a private pool, which had its own shower and sauna-style room, but the pool was scalding (113 I think she said?) and had white strands things floating in it, which naturally alarmed me. Turns out those white floaters are in all of the pools and upon close inspection by my husband appeared to be disintegrated caulking, which made me feel better. Otherwise there was the occasional gnat or hair floating in the pools which I think is to be expected at any facility. Lots of birds could be heard chirping in the surrounding trees. The hotel rooms looked old but not necessarily unclean or run-down from the outside. The town looks like an old mining style town that is very small (population of 600) and rundown, with only a single restaurant I could find that didn’t open till 4pm. The spa itself does have a cafeteria but we didn’t even venture in there, as well as a small gift shop. Overall, very inexpensive way to experience authentic natural hot springs in a remote setting, though I think the resort could really use a significant renovation to make it more aesthetically appealing and cleaner feeling. Bring your own flip flops, towel, robe, swimsuit, and kindle to optimize the experience.

My partner and I are making a cross country trip from North Carolina to Washington. While in Colorado, we wanted to visit some of the natural hot springs, and soak our tired muscles. Despite the mixed reviews, we decided to give Hot Sulphur Springs Resort & Spa a chance. And we’re so glad we did! Nestled in a tiny town, this resort is sweet as can be— albeit a bit rustic. The rooms are m basic, but squeaky clean and well maintained. Stays come with use of the hot springs on the day of your arrival, during your stay, and on your departure date. They offer as many fresh towels as needed so you can take full advantage of the springs. And they even have a complimentary breakfast! All of the staff were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The hot springs were lovely and so refreshing! Divided into 16 pools, this ensures you’ll have plenty of temperatures and views to choose from. We tested most, and were able to soak both alone and with others. The springs were definitely not overcrowded. We had plenty of privacy and time alone while enjoying them. We also were able to watch the local furry deer, chipmunks, and geese while soaking! The resort is set next to a railroad, so you will hear and see trains several times per day. However, earplugs are provided in room if this is of concern to you. And for us, it added to the charm! Things to know for your trip: Cell service may not be available. We have t-mobile, and there was no service for several miles. However, they have excellent wifi in the lobby, and main building (which includes a cozy living room with fireplace, gift shop, and a dining room). You can also access it from some parts of the parking lot. But the lack of constant signal helped us to disconnect and better enjoy ourselves. Local restaurants are few and far between. However, there is a microwave in the dining room off the lobby— open til 10:00pm. You can easily bring a meal or leftovers to heat there if you don’t want to go far for dinner. The springs do smell of sulphur and other minerals (hence the name). It’s to be expected and you quickly grow used to it. The smell will cling somewhat to clothes and hair for a bit even after washing— but only very faintly. We recommend not getting your hair wet in the springs, and letting swimwear/wet clothes dry fully before traveling again. Altogether we thoroughly enjoyed our stop here! Sweet, quaint, and nostalgic— few places offer the opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasure of a good long soak in a hot spring amongst nature. 10/10 definitely recommend, and would love to return!

I took a chance on this place despite the mixed reviews and was pretty pleased so I wanted to address the negative aspects that others have cited. Rust/maintenance: Hot spring water is full of minerals. Because of this, there will be rust and mineral deposits on various surfaces around the waterline of hot spring pools. This is natural. There are roughly 20 different pools on the property with a lot of boardwalks to connect them. Are they all perfect? No. I’m sure it takes a massive effort to keep everything running sooth with this many pools so I do not fault the place for not being pristine. Perhaps it’s too many pools to keep up perfectly, but I’d rather have more options than a few perfect ones. Lightning policy: This is indeed a pain. Thunderstorms are a regular occurrence in the Rockies. I heard many visitors upset about closing down the pools for nearby lightning strikes. It sucks, but so does getting hit by lightning so I can see why they do it. The policy (and its lack of refunds) is clearly posted, so do your own forecasting before visiting. Water: Yes, some pools have “floaties.” This is natural spring water and hot springs have harmless bacteria so it’s just a fact of life. The water is clear in some pools, so find one of those if this is an issue for you. Rooms: I stayed in one of the basic rooms. It was clearly built in the 40’s or 50’s and most of the fixtures were original. Nothing fancy about it, but it was clean and cozy. There are trains that go by, luckily not all that often and not that bothersome. Breakfast is a bit of a joke, especially since you’d have to drive a ways to do any better, but again, this is listed ahead of time so be prepared if you need some protein in the morning.
