From jct US 285 & Hwy 414: Go 1/4 mi W on Hwy 414.
My room wasn't ready for almost a half hour after the check-in time. The floor was dirty and clearly hadn't been swept. Also, the comforter on the bed had a bunch of hair from multiple people. The hot springs were great, go early in the morning and late at night to beat the crowd. As a guest, you get 2.5 hour early access before it's opened up for everyone else.
There are few things in this world that are all that they are cracked up to be. Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs is one of them. The location is in a secluded in a tree-filled canyon and is quiet and peaceful to an almost super natural degree. The quiet rule is strictly enforced and the shower rooms are hospital level clean. The staff is friendly and incredibly patient with newbies. The water is perfectly warm and not too hot or cold. This is a great place to go to get away from it all, relax and forget about the world for a while. It is well worth the drive.
Magical. I wish to be back, right now. Nice rooms (although I’d love a rug by the bed cuz the concrete floors are cold, porous and chalky). You come for the waters and I couldn’t be more thankful for my one night stay there. The drive out is beautiful too.
They were a little short-staffed, so some of the rooms weren’t ready right at 3pm. I witnessed my fair share of extra-enlightened old white ladies being absolute Karens to the front desk staff. Pretty funny for how lovely this place is — how the staff obviously go above and beyond to make things really nice. I also really appreciated how sweet the servers were at the restaurant and wine bar. Go with an open heart and let the water take away your burdens.
Pretty nice spot. Customer service was great, locker rooms were nice as well. Showers have shampoo & conditioner. You get a locker and unlimited towels, access to all 7 pools from 10am-10pm all on the day pass for only $45.. worth the trip!
I love it here & will for sure return but will share why I’m unable to give all 5 stars.
The hot springs are lovely. The setting is just beautiful.
The spa where we received services is also lovely as were the service providers.
We stayed the night for the 1st time. Our room was fine. Good enough. Our shower was gross. We didn’t use it and opted to use the locker room shower instead which says enough. I’m okay with everything in the room being on the older side but the tile in the shower was very obviously not cleaned regularly.
The mini-split heating unit was malfunctioning so we were cold. The front desk couldn’t switch our room and told us they would bring us extra blankets that never came.
I will for sure come back to enjoy the spa and springs :)
