Had a great time with the family at Crystal Crane Hot Springs. We stayed in the Eagles Nest which…read morehad 2 big beds and a tub that could easily fit 4 adults. The bathroom and showers were 20 feet away and our stay was still very quiet. There is a picnic table and first pit with a burning grill so we had everything we needed. The nights got a little cold cause the tipi has a canvas door and there is a couple holes where the wind blows in, by the second night we got wise and shoved extra clothes in the holes on the tipi got super warm due to blocking the wind and turning on the space heater thats inside. It was relaxing and not as rowdy as I thought it would get for a place that has a lot of people but they are spread out enough to not worry about and people just come and go for the hot water. We had a late check in that they were very nice about and we checked out on time. See you guys again!

Pretty poor service tbh. Everything was an up charge…read more When we arrived, I stated, I am aware that there is a fee for checking in early, but just wanted you to know we'd be ok with that and would like to check in 30 min early. The response was in all capital letters. THERE IS A FEE TO CHECK IN EARLY! Ok. So maybe that was automated. But the front desk lady was lukewarm at best. And she counted the items we bought three times then finally said-- "where's the flip flops?!!" In reference to the sticker my husband and I were talking about that I had purchased. I showed her it was the sticker and she just said, "Oh!" She was aggressively snippy at this point. Me.. having a sharp tongue walked away rather than engage. Everywhere we went there were rules posted with fees for various things-- including a $250 missing or damaged towel fee. Astounding. As we sat, quietly in our private tub, we read rules about noise levels and quiet time. While we listened to the party happening out in the public pool. It was loud and rowdy and frankly annoying. The next day, as we stay at hot springs all over the world, we expected that we could stay in the public pool past checkout. Maybe we would soak for an hour out there if no one was around. Within seconds of that private convo in our room, we got a text stating it would cost us for another four hours of soak time. We looked at each other and said "No way". I had planned on bringing my group of 12 lady friends here for our annual girls trip this spring. But the attitude was such a turn off that we've decided to head to Black Rock instead. Sadly, a fairly decent place was ruined by an alarming attitude of "being on offense". Most of the real world are good people. It would do this place a lot of good to charge a bit more, allow an all day free soak for guests (Hot Sulfur Springs Co allows soaking the day you check in until 10pm the night after you check out.) And a smile, happy attitude would be great. When we checked out, a different group of people-- but both also seemed to bothered to help us check out. Doubtful we would go back. Wish things were different. Would have loved to give wonderful review-- especially since we love hot springs and try to support locals trying to make a living. I'm sure their attitude is reflective of their experience with some types. But that doesn't mean we all deserve the same treatment. Giving a 3, because maybe you can slip in, enjoy the private soak and leave without a care.

So glad everything I sensed about this was right! Even down to the creative email communications from the owners before and after the stay. The only regret is that we weren't able to meet any staff during the one night we stayed. We booked 2 King rooms that shared a common living room type area. Worked perfectly. Beds and linens were the best of our trip. Loved the way they maintained the historic feel but modernized in the right ways (bathroom particularly). I'd stay here again if I were anywhere near Burns. Huge fan.

It does not look like much on the outside (yes it's shaped like a 'U') but don't let that fool you. The shape actually makes parking easy, with plenty of space for everyone. Motorcyclists will appreciate that it has a paved entrance and parking area as well. The room is nice and large with a generous sized bathroom and larger sleeping area. There is a min fridge in the room, with a separate door for the freezer portion. What's really nice is there is a lazy boy type chair in the room which was nice after a long day on the cycle. The owners have had it for 23 years a making them vested in having guests leave happy. If you're looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay, this should make your list.

First, the actual layout of the rooms are in a curved configuration...kinda like a horseshoe! Also, there is a nice BBQ and patio area in the center of the layout which is cool so you can grab some protein at the local market and have a cookout, cowboy style. Also, there are western themes all over the place which makes the place even more charming. Finally, the room was very nice and clean, good sized bed and a nice AC unit to fit your comfort level for a good nights sleep after a long drive on the plus side of 700 miles. Thank you Horseshoe Inn and thanks for the dinner recommendations! The food at the Pine Room was great :)
