We stayed in the apartment suite would recommend trying to get second floor we were on the first so privacy was lessened. Room was large, master bed was a bit hard but big plenty of room blankets on the bed were soft. Master bathroom has a weird layout but again big. Getting to use the main pool or your own hot tub was awesome. We didn't use the spa. Did see some reviews about staff but during our stay 3 days/2 nights the staff was amazing and we for sure would come back.Rooms: Apartment suite is huge plenty of room has a kitchenette 1.5 bathrooms Jacuzzi tub.

If your smoker don't stay here they'll accuse you of smoking in your room if you accidentally drop a cigarette butt out of your pocket they charged us $254 four times for 2 days that we stayed there they are con artists and very unprofessional. Ill never book with them again. Plus when we checked in the bathroom window was unlocked so anybody could have snuck in and stole our valuable, good thing we checked that kind of thing ourselves. And for 198$ it doesn't even cover the use of the bath house that's another 35$. Con Artists for sure. Beware the St. Martin inn at Carson hot springs it's a to off, and I didn't see any hot springs just w water they piped in claiming it's from a hot springs that cost extra. I doubt Jane Seymour ever stayed there and shot a movie without them playing her to do so.Rooms: Small and quaint I've had better at a slum motel in Oakland California.Nearby activities: Not many unless your into gold or wind surfing or hiking.Noteworthy details: They are very unprofessional the smoke detector was covered when we checked in they advised us of that. We don't throw it cigarette but on the ground, it's disrespectful so we pocket them. One fell out of the pocket when I was changing and they jump to the conclusion we smoked in our room. Furthermore the staff are liars and thieves.

Two of my friends and I came for the day to enjoy a soak and a wrap. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. As most of the prior reviews read. I agree the bathhouse attendant was so lovely in every way. She had long dark curly hair. We loved her.Sadly, as many of the prior reviews stated, the girls behind the desk were rude and very unwelcoming. I admit, I was ready for it as I'd read the reviews in advance. I called them out on it, and when I did, they knocked it off. But it set the day off negatively. I felt bad about the experience, although necessary imo. I don't know why this is allowed to go on when the management is obviously aware of it by the numerous comments. But our bathhouse experience was fabulous.

Room for 3 adults. 2 queens2 towels 1 washcloth 2 robes. Musty smell from deck hot tub. Pool not open for morning soaks. People were very loud with music at the fire pit until midnight when I went out and hollered.No access to microwave or hot tea pot, room coffee pot not hot enough for tea.The potential is there for a 5 star review, but there's so much room for improvement.

Very quiet and peaceful with beautiful mountain scenery. The bullfrogs singing in the "pond" make a lovely background noise. Staff were super nice and very helpful. Our room had a private spa tub on the balcony. Pure bliss!The only issue with the room was housekeeping. We found mouse poop in the dresser drawer and numerous small things on the floor under chairs and in corners. Hair ties, candy wrapper, ect.The bed was super comfortable though!

I’ve been coming to Carson Hot Springs to enjoy the tubs for multiple years now. My two girlfriends and I went up on Sunday, February 25 with a 3 hour round trip to enjoy what we thought was going to be a relaxing afternoon; as it usually is. It has been taken over now by some corporation, and the rude lady with the short hair in the bath house was sure to let us know that’s why it isn’t like it use to be. Now corporation is pushing for more people to be rushed out so more people can come in. The other tub attendant was literally running from one side of the bathhouse to the next frantically because she said it was shift change. I think that this place needs to be a bit more organized. The lady with the short hair was extremely rude and smelled like liquor as she wrapped us up in the blankets after the tubs. She also apologized for her rudeness because she was from Montana that’s her character. I seriously couldn’t believe what was happening in a place where people come to relax and getaway. Not sure if it was just a bad day for them or what , but the place has the worst customer service from the ladies in the office to the extremely rude ladies in the bath house. Good luck Carson Hot Springs! It was once a great place to visit but after this experience I’m sad to say I will no longer be returning.

I had left it at home.Keep up the good work we appreciate you!!

Full disclosure, we were a little confused about where we were staying. Years ago we stayed at Bonneville Hot Springs and heard they sold and we thought this was the new name. It is not. I will say that Carson Hot Springs has a fabulous photographer who makes the place look amazing.When you drive up, it looks very dated and a bit rickety. We went to check in and they were dealing with an ant problem. I was a little concerned about what we would find in our room. The gal checking us in was a bit curt, not very friendly for someone checking people in for a massage and hotel stay. Our massages were at 11am and she said check in was not until 4pm and then she said she might be able to get us in at 3 we could check back in.The place for the massage is definitely rustic, the floor is uneven, and they do not provide lockers, just baskets and then a large sign that they are not responsible if anything is stolen. The dressing area has three changing rooms but the area is very small. They do not provide flip flops, but they do provide robes. I am bigger and was concerned the robe would not fit me but was pleasantly surprised to find it did and when I voiced my concern that gal in the bath house said she had sheets too if I needed one. I thought that was nice.The massage rooms are not rooms, they are well let and they have curtains separating them. I was offered ear plugs to drown out the noise, I declined. The massage therapist did a great job. We both had hot stone massages and thought they were good.We got back to the hotel at 3pm and went to see if we could check in early. We were curtly told that check in was at 4pm. When we explained they said we may be able to check in early she said, again with some attitude that check was 4. I ask what building we would be in and she did confirm that, when I asked what floor, she sounded irritated and said that she couldn't let us know until we checked in. I am recovering from a foot injury and we were trying to strategize where to park.We had discussed if the room was too sketchy we would just cancel our reservation and eat the cost if we had to. The site says the cost starts at $168 with fees. My sister made the reservation and I am not sure if she made it online or called, I do remember she was trying to sign up for their rewards program so we could get the best price. Turns out the room cost $300 a night. Harder to let $300 go than $168. Not sure why there is such a discrepancy between the site and what we were actually charged. We initially said, well it is a good deal you get what you pay for but $300 is a nice chunk of change.The room was out dated like the rest of the hotel but it was lovely to have a hot tub in your room. They do use mineral water and I would like to know, or maybe I really do not want to know, if they clean those tubs out after each use. There is no chlorine to kill whatever might be in there. The beds were comfortable and they gave you each an extra towel for the hot tub. They say it is private but there is a trail down to the river and a green grassy area which both saw quite a bit of traffic. , I would not call it a river view room but you do get to see the woods. They have baby fir trees along the grassy area that would be lovely at night if they put white lights in them.The next morning we went to check out the restaurant, which said it stopped serving breakfast at 11am. It was 11:10 and my sister went in to see if they would serve breakfast, the gal was busy on her phone but when she did finally decide to acknowledge my sister she very curtly said breakfast stops at 11am. There was one other couple in the restaurant. Clearly they do not want the business.I think if you are not a germaphobe and you are good with rustic, then you will enjoy this location. If you are looking for a resort with everything in the same building, and a spa like atmosphere with good customer service where they seem happy you are there then maybe you want to go somewhere else.

Very great getaway. Got the room with jacuzzi outside on balcony. It was very quiet for a valentine day. Room was clean and cozy, very warm. There us a small fridge in room, and if you want coffee/tea you can get complimentary in lobby. Which also has microwave if you need to heat up something.Lobby also has books and games to borrow.Will definitely be coming back to use hot pool, and bath house.Food & drinks: Breakfast was perfect in a quiet setting, great view.

I called ahead and liked the prices, when I arrived the pool was filled with families so I went for the bathhouse option. The water was a nice 120° and after a few dips in the cold bath I ended up falling asleep in the tub for over an hour. My overworked body and muscles are still saying 'Thank You!' . I had a very relaxing time and plan on visiting often.

This is based on our experience with our room. We didn't care for the pool soaking as it was rather plain. No real view, a crowded indoor swimming pool with hot springs water. The room on the other hand was comfortable, clean, and had a Jacuzzi tub on the balcony filled with spring water. We were on the second floor and the balcony looked out over the woods. Parking was a little challenging to park close to your room. Really enjoyed the soak in the Jacuzzi but the water could have been a little warmer. It was around 103. There is time in the evening where only guests are allowed in the pool, 8-10PM but we preferred our private tub. There is no restaurant at the resort and the golf club nearby only did breakfast and lunch.

Went for the day pass for the pool (2 hours according to the rate board; only marked for one hour on the wrist band... Maybe giving extra time vs. shorting me). Hot pool was very hot...cold pool was refrigerated and quite cold. Loved it. Perfect if you're the type to enjoy contrasting thermal therapy. Bench seating around the interior of both pools. Easy access with stairs and railing. Water was treated, but didn't feel over sanitized and full of chemicals. Clean. Dressing rooms were small, but easily accessed. Bathrooms and water next to pools. Towels available as well. Nice experience. I will go back.

The bath house is now my go-to every other month. I felt like a new person when I left there. The hot mineral water, then the cold plunge, back to the hot bath, then wrap, sauna, and finish with a cold shower. Bring tip money because they take care of you. Best value in the NW.Nearby activities: Golf course was great!Food & drinks: Theres a local brewery that has amazing pizza!

There's a lot to say but I need to remind myself it's in a small town. There's almost no services in Carson proper. The hot tub on our balcony was clean and hot. The room was dated but the beds were comfortable. Our toilet broke. Wifi was down. And no one on site to assist. It felt almost Airbnb like with no response from the owner. I would however...go back because they have a little piece of heaven for a reasonable price. And the only bar serving liquor in town.

Lovely affordable getaway from Portland for a night or two. A room with a private hot tub on the balcony was less than $175 for a Thursday night. My hot tub was awesome and I had a beautiful view of the woods from the third floor, especially during sunrise. It is absolutely private- if you’re a little bit daring you don’t need to wear a swimsuit. You cannot see anyone else’s balcony or hot tub around you.The bathhouse/spa is the star of the show. It is unreasonably affordable. You can do a 50 minute soak and body wrap for $30, which is luxurious and lovely. I don’t know of any other hour long spa treatment that you can do for $30. The attendant, Deborah, was kind and helpful. In fact every employee I interacted with at the hotel went out of their way to be nice to me.The rooms themselves definitely need some TLC- very dated and many things did not work as intended (for instance my door was extremely difficult to lock and kept blowing open). My shower also didn’t work/was broken- you could only take a bath in room H309 which was not ideal after being in the hot tub. If I had been staying for longer than just one night I would have had to switch rooms so that I could shower. I was able to shower in their mineral water shower at the bath house after my soak though, which definitely helped.Also, skip the restaurant at the golf course that they give you a coupon for at check-in. The waitress was kind but I should have known when I was the only person there for breakfast that it wasn’t very good. It’s extremely expensive and kind of bland. I also witnessed some old golf guy have a meltdown over paying $22 for a double Bloody Mary (to his credit, that does seem unreasonably expensive) which threw off my relaxing morning vibe. I went to Big River Grill instead for lunch and it was drastically better.

Too many young guests in pools during our visit. Nice, but probably won't visit again, unless golf course is open, weather is better. Just too crowded and noisy. Hard to enjoy the mineral tub.Noteworthy details: Do not pull an RV any further than the parking lot, there is no turn around at the hotel check in. No food available except at golf course, breakfast and lunch.

Had an amazing experience here. The front desk ladies were very helpful. The room was wonderful. We actually got to check in early. We got the third floor with a balcony and hot tub. The view was wonderful. The bath house was so relaxing and calming. We will definitely be back. We drove into Stevenson for dinner and had a fantastic meal and drinks at the Red Bluff bar and grill.

One of my favorite places to go for rest and recovery. If you can do an overnight stay, I HIGHLY recommend it. Otherwise just a soak and wrap will renew your spirits! There's something magical in that mineral water 🙏🏼💦🛀 🛁 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Rooms: Simple but comfortable.Nearby activities: In Carson and Stevenson there are restaurants and activities. There are MANY hikes nearby. This is a true Columbia Gorge experience. The natural beauty and amount of activities are endless!Food & drinks: Several Restaurants very close by 5-10 minute drive 👍🏼Noteworthy details: Nothing compares to the natural beauty of the Columbia Gorge!

I love going here to use the hot springs pool and cold plunge. The customer service is excellent every time . This is a peaceful and overall excellent hot springs experience. The pool is indoors , though definitely therapeutic regardless.

Visited a friend who is staying there. I was checking out the hot tub in her room. There was slime on the inside and she was only there for 2 days. I'm wondering how often it's cleaned?

Staff greets me by my name when I come in to get Portland roasted coffee in the am. Been coming here since the late 80s. Been here off and on for over a month usually go to the Symes hotel in hot springs in Montana but the Columbia River is almost as beautiful as as the Clark Fork in Montana. Room prices vary but less than the Best Western and get to soak. Well my month long vacation ends sad to leave!

This is a half day getaway for us. We only used the baths. We love the soak and wrap: it relaxes our bodies and takes away the aches. They used to have a perk: you would get a free one after buying several. I wish they had brought that back. Also, this last time, I missed the soft meditation music. The drive there and seeing the trees and mountain tops when you step out contributes to this unique relaxing experience. The ladies that help us are always warm and friendly, thank you!

It looks like something from the wild west and smells like the devil has been loitering about, but it's just the sulfate in the water.Great place to soak, massage, relaxing body wraps, sauna....everything you want on a cold winter day.There is a hotel too if you want to spend the night...or a few nights for that matter.Highly recommended, it will shave at least a few months of worry of your shoulder!!

I got a room to celebrate graduating college and because the website said that overnight guests have access to mineral soaking tubs for the duration of their stay. I arrived to learn that overnight guests only have access to the chlorinated swimming pool and can soak in the tubs for an extra $30 an hour. I think their google description is false advertising and I would have just came in the daytime and paid to soak in the tubs instead of wasting money on a mediocre room.
