Top Southwest Colorado Hotel Reviews

The Springs Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property! But the older section pools need painting. Newer adult section was fantastic. Nice assortment of classes, free "mud" bath and dry sauna. I thought the massages and facials were too expensive--$200 and up. Snacks in the lobby market were also very expensive. Staff was terrific! Very clean property. I'd appreciate more vegan food options."

8/10 Good

"Overall we had a good stay. Our only real negaive was that that both days of our stay, the water temperature was not good. In our group, a couple showers barely got warm water, while others it was fairly cold. Also, it was disappointing the resturant was closed due to the slow season timing, so there were no onsite food or drink options available."
