My husband and I spent two nights here. We camped - which I strongly do not recommend. The "camping" was sort of an after thought. There wasn't even a table at our site. It's basically just a gravel area near the cabins. The bathroom was a port-o-potty in an upper parking lot. However, by staying as a guest you get... more

You can tell they are trying to run this resort on a shoe string budget. We had plumbing problems in our room so they moved us to a new room. The next day they wanted to move us again and further inconvience us. We had booked this resort for two days so we would not have to pack and move... more

Come for the pools and a massage. Relaxing atmosphere... not polished, but clean. Colorful, eclectic decor/landscaping in pool area. Variety of temperatures in the pools mean you can soak if you're intolerant to high heat or have brought a baby or small child. I have stayed in the motel and would honestly not stay there again because I like a... more

I stayed 2 nights in Cabin #2 August of 2008 - I also made time for an appt. for a swedish massage. I was on a 16 day primitive camping trip through parts of CO/NM - these were my only 2 nights during the trip inside - the private hot springs hot tub right next to a rushing stream was... more

We stayed at Cottonwood in 2006. We really liked our little private hot tub outside of our cabin. Yes, the cabins are rustic and older but we enjoyed the atmosphere at Cottonwood. I would not suggest it for campers. That area was small and confined. I would go back to the cabins and hot springs though. The surroundings and wildlife... more

Upon arriving at Cottonwood Hot Springs you'll probably notice evidence of the minor improvements (paint pots, ladders, piles of renovation equipment etc), which is a shame, because this place doesn't need minor improvements at all, it needs major improvements! Cottonwood Hot Springs review in brief, excessive heat in non-ventilated rooms, bright lights shining into the bedroom all night, unhelpful staff,... more

Seriously, this place is a dump and this is coming from someone who doesn't mind a campy, rustic experience. And at $15 per person, you do not get your money's worth. Do yourself a favor and go to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, just a little further south on 285 in Nathrop. It's the same price but they recently renovated the... more

It's a holiday - they fully expected to busy -they said that. So they go ahead & do construction on the change rooms (the ONLY change rooms) which blocks off one shower. Then they sell showers (of which they have one other available & the water keeps shutting off) for $3 to campers. So after paying $15 there was no... more

Went to The Hot Springs for Valentines Day! It was great! Made a reservation to get a massage and that was good. (I've had better) Should mention that this is clothing option after dark from Nov to May (I think that's the months) but it was interesting to say the least! The pools (they have 5) were really nice and... more
