An independent comparison of places to sleep next to thermal water
hotspringstays.com compares the hotels, lodges and motels people book when they travel for hot springs — from Pagosa Springs and Glenwood Springs to Truth or Consequences and Bathhouse Row. For each destination we list what is actually bookable, where the thermal water actually is relative to each property, what a room does and does not include, what guests rate it, and what three November nights cost as a like-for-like comparison.
"Hot springs hotel" is used to mean four different things: a property with its own source and pools, a property that includes entry to a neighbouring springs, an ordinary hotel a short walk from a public pool, and — very often — an ordinary hotel in a town that merely has "Hot Springs" in its name. The listing platforms rarely distinguish between them, so every card on this site states which one you are looking at, in the operator's or the property's own reported words.
Hotel facts — ratings, review counts, addresses, amenities and nightly rates — come from Google Hotels data, captured on the date printed on each page. What each property's soaking access amounts to is drawn from the property's and the springs operator's own websites, and where sources disagree, the page says both things rather than averaging them. Prices for day passes and admissions carry a checked-on date, and where an operator does not publish a number we say that instead of inventing one.
Hotel links go to Expedia through its affiliate programme. If you book through them we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Placement is not for sale: the commission is the same whichever property you pick, and properties without thermal water stay on the page, labelled as such, because knowing what not to book is half the answer.
If you run a property listed here and something is wrong — the pools, the water, the hours, the kids policy — send the correction and the page on your own site that shows it via the contact page, and we will update the listing.
