I've visited Mount Princeton Hot Springs many times over many years and have always enjoyed our stays, which is why this visit was disappointing. The staff was friendly and welcoming, actually friendlier than some of our past experiences and that was appreciated. However, for the price of a one- or two-night stay, I expect a much higher overall experience. The biggest issue was cleanliness. The women's restroom near the main middle pools and in the bathhouse was absolutely horrid. Cleanliness did not appear to be a priority and significantly impacted our experience. We also ordered takeout to enjoy in our room. Paying $45 for a steak dinner and not receiving a steak knife was frustrating. The room only had a butter knife, and we were provided plastic utensils. Small details like this matter when you're paying resort prices. Additionally, there wasn't a disposable cup available in the room for coffee to go. The only coffee cups provided was a mug already sitting in the dishwasher within the room. While we still enjoyed parts of our stay and appreciated the staff, the overall cleanliness and lack of attention to basic guest conveniences made this trip feel very different from the Mount Princeton experience we've come to expect over the years. It is also a bummer that the upper pools close so early at 5pm, kids had a great time, but not super accommodating for kids.

Overall, this is a great experience. The ability to climb down to the river is such a cool experience. The pools are cool. I do prefer different pools at Cottonwood more. The view is so beautiful. One thing that I did not enjoy about my experience is the locker rooms. Some people are extremely uncomfortable with dressing or showering in the open and there are no shower curtains or dressing rooms and should be a consideration for people. Most people are probably staying there and have a room to go back to, others do not. Unfortunately, that was a dealbreaker for me on doing a day trip here and will only go if I’m staying the night. Unfortunately, as much as I love to soak and chill, I also can’t sit in that water without showering and changing after. That would be my only reason for a 4 Star, but would gladly change it, if those minor things were changed.

Best hot springs I've been to yet. The scenery is absolutely stunning, with the peak of Mount Princeton looming over you. We stayed in the Creekside cabins which were nice and modern with solid amenities. I wish it was a bit warmer outside, sleeping with the windows open listening to the creek all night would've been amazing. The actual springs complex is very nice. There's separate kids and adults pools which are fed with hot spring water, so if you don't have kids you don't need to share a pool with kids. The adults pool also has a bar inside, though you aren't allowed to bring drinks into the water. The sauna was also nice and clean. The main attraction though is in between the kids' pool and adults' pool. The creek runs right between the two buildings and you can actually get down there into the all-natural mountain water directly on top of the hot springs. Even sharing with kids, I spent like two hours directly on top of a hot water vent and did not want to leave. The attached restaurant is pricey, but worth it. I got the house burger with truffle fries and both were pretty darn good. There is also a convenience store on sight with some cheaper food options, including a Hunt Bros. pizza. Finally, the drive both in and out almost makes it worth it for the drive alone. Literally one of the most scenic locations on the planet, right in our backyard.

This was a wonderful experience. We were only passing through but wished we could have spent more time here. The natural hot springs is the main attraction. We visited in the winter which felt whimsical to lounge in a river with snow all around. The staff were all great from check in to navigating the hot springs. Very relaxing and a worthwhile experience. We stayed in a hillside room which was perfect for the night. We highly recommend a visit!

Visited in February on a snowy day. Decided on the lower priced day pass so didn't use the spa section. Two nice pools. Creekside pools were enjoyed by my husband. Friendly staff. Only downside was the showers. You have to hold the button the whole time. Also, lockers way overpriced

Our stay at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort was extremely disappointing from start to finish, which was especially upsetting given that this was supposed to be our Valentine’s Day getaway. The room was noticeably dirty — there was dirt, trash, and random debris under the bed, which made it clear housekeeping was not thorough at all. On top of that, some of the dishes provided in the room were still dirty, which is honestly unacceptable for a place charging resort prices. The hot springs themselves were also lacking basic comfort and amenities. None of the pools had benches to sit on, which made relaxing difficult, especially during longer soaks. This was a particularly big issue for us because my fiancé has arthritis and relies on having proper seating for comfort and support while using hot springs. The absence of benches significantly impacted his ability to enjoy the experience. There was also absolutely no shade anywhere around the pools. Every other hot springs property we’ve visited has at least some umbrellas or shaded areas, so this felt like a major oversight and made it uncomfortable to spend extended time outside. We also had a very poor overnight experience due to extremely loud and disruptive upstairs neighbors. There was constant noise, banging, and activity that made it difficult to relax or sleep. When we brought this to staff’s attention, they did not seem concerned and no meaningful effort was made to address the situation, which was frustrating and added to the feeling that guest comfort was not a priority. The gym experience was just as poor — it was not air-conditioned and the thermostat read 80°, making it unusable. A resort fitness facility should at minimum be climate controlled. What made the experience even more frustrating was how management handled the situation afterward. When we raised these issues, they refused to provide a full refund despite the condition of the room, disruptive environment, and lack of amenities. After going back and forth, we negotiated a partial refund — only to later be recharged the refund amount. This felt incredibly dishonest and left a bad taste after an already negative stay. Overall, between the cleanliness issues, missing amenities, disruptive noise, uncomfortable facilities, and poor customer service resolution, this was not the relaxing Valentine’s Day getaway we expected and we would not choose to stay here again. The best part of our experience here was when we left and stayed somewhere else the following night, we highly recommend Silver Ridge Lodge in Salida Colorado. They have a saltwater hot tub and have excellent customer service. I included some pictures of underneath the bed and one photo of one of the many dishes that had what looked like maybe dirt or coffee grounds in it, I should’ve taken pictures of the spatulas that had old food on them.

We spent a night in the creekside room for my birthday and had an amazing time! We had so much soaking time and the pools were so comfortable. We started our second day with a morning mobility class with Trish who was so fun and chipper! And we enjoyed lots of drinks from Leo at the smoothie bar, he has fantastic customer service and you can tell he likes what he does! Overall an awesome way to start my birthday ?

Overall we had a really lovely time. We stayed in a creekside room. It was clean, comfortable, warm with the roar of the creek right outside the room. The Nespresso machine was a really nice touch! If you’re planning to cook, the cookware is super limited. No measuring stuff (at least in ours). Bring salt and pepper.

We stayed in a charming cabin nestled in the mountains, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The cabin was cozy, spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The staff at the resort were attentive and friendly, making check-in and our stay effortless. We only wish we had planned a longer visit to enjoy more of the hiking trails and hot springs nearby. This place is perfect for anyone looking to escape the city and unwind in a peaceful, scenic setting.

We enjoyed a nice stay at the hot springs resort for my birthday weekend. The service was good and accommodating, the hot springs themselves and the views were wonderful, the restaurant was decent. Lots of stuff to do. We love the Collegiates. Really enjoyed all the holiday tree lights as well. I would say my only complaint is that everything just seems very old and run down. I get that it IS an old and historic area, but the decor was very tired, and having all this old dingy carpet in the locker rooms was kind of gross. The shower tubs in the hotel rooms were a bit disappointing as well and we had a lot of trouble getting hot water for showers. I think some more modern renovations would really make the place shine.
