“My family and I spent a weekend at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort and it was a wonderful getaway. The hot springs were the highlight of our stay—soaking in the warm water while surrounded by mountain views was incredibly relaxing. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the resort grounds were well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever we had questions, which made the experience feel even more welcoming. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some time in nature, and I’d definitely consider coming back in the future.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was my second time staying here, both occasions lovely and tranquil. First last fall with a friend and then last month with my partner. I’ll definitely continue to return to this resort and area as it’s stunningly beautiful with amazing access. Although stays were comped for shooting photo/video content, I believe the prices for what it is are quite overpriced. Standards of cleanliness, attention to details such as anything hanging on a wall in the room to look at, level of customer service do not match the standards presented. Cleanliness of the room could be improved as we found multiple pieces of trash under both beds in our creekside suite, some staff members were not kind to us (s/o to Debbie for being an amazing front desk associate!), and there are other environmental details that are just not up to other similarly priced resort standards. Great food, variety of options for pools including adult only areas, and the magic of this place are pretty unmatched though!”
“A group of us came out for the Club Infinity After Dark DJ Pool Party, and it was an absolute BLAST!! The views are simply gorgeous! The pool itself was a perfect temperature for a bunch of people that are partying. There are lots of pools to move around in, and explore. A fabulous idea for a fun party!”
