indian hot springs印象

Great mineral water and the caves were very hot. Clothes are optional in the caves and once you get over the naked shock it is extremely relaxing. The building is very large and old, not especially clean. It definitely doesn't have a spa like feeling to the place but water is good. Bring your own towel and just know that this is a very old place and enjoy it for what it is.

I give hefty points for unique properties because they deliver unique memories and can lead to some enhanced creativity. I was up there writing a chapter for one of my books and this I did indeed accomplish, so on that level it was a success. However, this place is not for everyone. It's supposed to be romantic but your chances of having reciprocal drive here is limited by the fact that its very funky and the girl will not feel comfortable in the bathroom or the bedroom unless of course she's coming in from a tent; than stay gold Pony Boy. But it was fine for me. I wanted some peace and quiet and to be able to think clearly and write and this worked out fine for me. I had one of the cabins by Soda Creek and the sound of the creek filled the sitting area, which helped, mellowed me out; and there is a kitchen with an excellent gas burner; and of course Safeway is 0.5 miles up the road. So I was also cooking up a storm. So I was in my element. But the other reason I was there was because of two old wrestling injuries and I wanted to try out the spa and soak in the mineral rich volcanic baths that flow under the mountain The spa was odd, as there was no receptionist so I walked around this old building that resembled a thin 19th century hospital until someone came and got me. After the message I was advised to check out the caves and the mineral baths and I did. So this is where this post takes a turn for the surreal; and I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around what happened next- so I go into the caves and I see that the different pools have different temperatures and I see an open pool at the end of the cave and I walk and go into the water- and its great- the water temperature is about 115 degrees and its very relaxing and I'm moving my shoulder and lower back and stretching using the handrails and then out of the corner of my eye I see something move on the wall about 10 feet away. And its this thing- some sort of creature and its thin and its sleeping on a very thin rock ledge, and its head is also elongated, and its (I guess) camouflaged there on the wall- (I did not see it, I walked right by it to get into the mineral pool). So as I'm looking at this thing (It looked like a long distance runner from central Africa; but with a freakishly elongated head) and it slowly lowers itself from the ledge in one smooth motion and slithers like a snake on the floor down the rock face and into the pool I'm soaking in- and he's under the water and gone without making any splash or ripples' and then his head slowly rose out of the water next to me and I split...I got right out of there...I’ve been shot at before and was not as terrified as I was at that moment. It was mental. So I just grabbed all my clothes and got out of there, and I was visually shaken and one of the managers followed me outside and was like "What's wrong" "Didn't you like the caves?" And I was like "Dude, what's with the vampire?" And he laughed because that was the best way to describe it; and he was like oh you want a private bath, not to go into the caves- some people practically live down there he says; and that's why it smells like the deepest recess of my gym bag- its not sweat- that's what a nest of vampires smells like. Anyway, another person posted about the garbage truck coming at seven in the morning and I took a picture of it...

If you are looking for a fancy schmancy, new and shiny place you'll need to keep looking. But if you want a spa with many different options, this place is perfect!! As you enter you are greeted by a helpful and friendly employee - I didn't get her name. She patiently explained some of our options and encouraged us to look at the cave and pool. We decided to do the caves with HOT water stone 'tanks', the mud baths and the big outdoor covered pool. All three areas combined were only $41. By the time we'd done all three of these we were so relaxed!! Next time I want to try a facial and a massage.The only two somewhat negatives I have is that while you are in the mud bath area, you are on display to those walking by and that there is a shortage of places to put your stuff while you are at the pool. There are lockers as you enter which is good, but we went on a weekend and there were a lot of people at the pool. Virtually no place to set even a towel. The flip side of that is that there are AMAZING plants all around the pool area. HUGE ones. Feels like you are in Mexico. You owe it to yourself to give this a try. I was so content at the end of our time there!!

Great place to people watch! My husband and I went here for our 28th anniversary. Though there was a lot of partying, our room was surprisingly quiet! The desk clerks were very friendly. The breakfast was simple but adequate. You are NOT paying for a 5 star resort experience!! Our room was "stuck in the 80s" but it was clean. We are non smokers but there were ash trays ATTACHED to the building right outside our door. This helped that obnoxious smell seep into our room. Uck! The hot springs area was crowded (popular place for the locals!) and it was close to $50.00 for 2 people to rent a private bath for 1 HOUR! So! If you want a clean, simple room for not much money, this is your place. If you want upscale--go elsewhere!

The main pool is a decent price for the day, and so close to Denver that it's perfect in a pinch when you just really need to soak in a big vat of hot water. It would also be an AWESOME stop if you were driving back down I-70 from a day of skiing and wanted to dip out of the traffic for an hour or two. The private baths were alright, but can only be rented 1 hour at a time. I was also disappointed that the cave baths were separated by gender. This meant that for my partner and I our only option away from the kiddos that hang out in the main pool was a 1 hour private bath (instead of being able to come and go from the caves all day). The rules are just kind of strange here. We wanted to be able to alternate napping/sleeping and hanging out in the water, so we opted for a room in the main lodge. These rooms DO NOT have showers (which we knew). It actually wasn't that big of a deal because you are in and out of the non-chlorinated hot water baths all day. The main reason that even though I had a great time in the pools all day, etc etc, but I can't muster up more than 3 stars is really because of the terrible quality of the hotel room. Not having a shower? No big deal. The completely dilapidated feel of the room, stained and incredibly dated carpets, non-sealing windows, etc? Not that great. I think there is a fine line between 'rustic' and wanting to preserve some of the obvious history of the lodge (which was pretty neat!) and just not wanting/not being able to spend a penny up standard updates and repairs. I will definitely be back, I just probably won't spend the extra $100 on the hotel next time.

They quoted me two beds for $120 at first. I said I will call back. Another lady quoted a higher price in same day. Well, next time make sure you record what you have heard because they will argue with you and no courtesy say, "I am sorry." Not even said its their faults.

I recently spent a whole day relaxing at the Indian Hot Springs and have to say it was one of the most relaxing and honest spa experiences. If you are looking for movie set modern chic its not your kind of place but if you want to chill out in an amazing cave and soak away the stress.A perfect way to recover from an international flight and I have to say the price was really good. A days soaking in the caves, pool, mud room and a massage for less than I would usually pay for an hours massage alone in London.I would certainly plan my trips to Colorado around having a day to relax there again.

Hotel is run down and the staff shows no interest in repairing anything. Shower head was broken and they said there was nothing they could do, didn't even try. Main pool is always overcrowded with people eating nachos in the water. Worst hot springs in Colorado, it is close to Denver though and this is probably why they think they can run their business the way they do.

Have been a customer here for 19 years. The front desk person has put my name down as a bad person who can not stay anymore because I got in a argument with them? She changed my rate at the last minute and yelled at me in front of other customers and threw a pen at me and now I can't return?!? Really!????? Bad business.

Stayed there for one night and it felt like traveling back to the past. The property is very dated and it looks just like the pictures you would found hanging on the hall way. It reminds you what it was like 50 years ago or even earlier. Anyway, my wife and I read the review online, so we are mentally prepared for the worst but it turns out okay. I guess it is because we have pictured all the bad things could happen from the reviews we had read. The room is small but efficient. Two chairs, one dresser, tiny half-bath and there is a TV (a cheap one from Walmart and picture was blurry and dim). The interesting part is the old-fashioned experience. Soak in old hot tub in underground cave was a unique experience. You will probably find much better maintained hot sprints around the country, but this one stays the same way through the years. The cave was really sketchy and you can find pictures of it if you googgle it. It looks exactly the same as the pictures. Sometimes I cannot stop wondering where the water come from since all hot water are poured via PVC pipes. Is it really coming from some hot spring somewhere from the property or a boiler somewhere? Try not think about how many have soaked in the same water if you want to keep peace in mind. The spa package include dining coupons to four local restaurants and we went to Smokin Yard's BBQ in Idaho Springs. I have to admit that the bbq there is really the best part of stay. Both food and service are great.
