I pulled into a gas station and started to have a panic attack. This hotel looked really appealing, and honestly it was the first one I clicked on, so I immediately booked two queen bed room. It was a 5 minute drive in the insane torrential downpour, but we made it. Although I was a little confused about the contactless check in, the amenities were excellent, nice clean beds, several AC units, fans, heaters, a nice loveseat with a comfy chair facing the TV. I was also informed that it is local and family owned. This hotel was such a nice reprieve from the insanity of our drive. Absolutely, positively worth every cent. Definitely consider this over a corporate owned hotel. All that's left to say is, thank you!

Then out of nowhere where the weather flipped from 90 degrees and sunny/hazy to cold, rain and thunderstorms! What surprised me the most was how much rain dumped from the sky and cold it was out. I was almost completely drenched from rain and wearing Jean shorts. I was freezing and wet. My daughter and husband were soaked too but somehow neither of them get cold.. anyway I found Indian Hot Springs and begged my family to go so I could hop in a hot tub and get warm. My husband skipped the pool and got a message they had a last minute opening and my daughter and I went swimming in the springs. It's was perfect. Not too hot not too cold. Perfect activity to do on a surprise rainy day. They provided towels and even had a gift shop to buy swim suits if u didn't bring one. There was soft music playing and it made for a very chill and relaxing vibe. It was so nice floating in a hot spring while listening to the rain drops on the roof and soft thundering. Literally the most perfect solution to a rainy day. My husband enjoyed his massage and everyone was happy. They saved the day!

Indian Hot Springs is one of those uniquely Colorado experiences that everyone should do at least…read moreonce. We've visited several hot springs over the years - there is something special about this place. The history alone is incredible. People have been soaking in these mineral waters for well over a century, and the springs themselves have been used for generations before that. What we loved most was the character. The geothermal caves are unlike anything we've experienced elsewhere, and the large mineral pool under the tropical dome feels like stepping into another world. Surrounded by palm trees, tropical plants, and naturally heated mineral water, it's easy to forget you're only a short drive from Denver. The caves are a mix between a wet sauna and a plunge pool. Four pool options down there with the coolest at 106 degrees...that is the one we opted for. When we needed to cool a bit, we could just step out into the relaxation area. There is a side for women or men for the caves, so clothing is optional down there. If you're looking for a perfectly polished resort experience, this may not be your place. But if you're looking for a historic Colorado landmark with unique geothermal features, relaxing mineral water, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, Indian Hot Springs absolutely delivers. We'll definitely be back.

Clean rooms, indoor rooftop pool and hot tub... great service from all the staff and employees…read more Resort fee is $25/room per day but parking is free and the rooms are spacious. Really love the bathrooms with dual sinks and the water pressure was really good in the showers. The bed was a little lumpy in the rooms we were in and the bed itself was very soft... There were some knicks and marks in the rooms too so I think they might need a little refresh soon. The mattresses in the rooms we were in really needed to be replaced. Good location and easily walkable to main street. Very easy access to get into the parking from the HWY and they have a Starbucks inside the property. Overall we had a great stay and will consider to stay again when we're in Black Hawk.

Some pros and cons from our stay (room 1014): PROS: - the promo included lowest room rate and $20 dining credit per day. A genuinely good deal for the price - the restaurant offers on site are pretty decent, varied, and reasonably priced for BH - staff was 50/50. Literally half were welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly, while the other half was borderline rude or incompetent - the amenities were a nice perk, including a rooftop pool, and two hot tubs (1 indoor 1 outdoor) - the room and bathroom were very spacious with both a shower AND a garden tub - there were public restrooms available in the hallway - the casino floor feels spacious and there is a good variety of slot machines and table games CONS: - Communication in general is very lacking: When we walked into our room there was no literature to showcase on site dining options, WiFi password, or amenities' hours/logistics. The room service menu is not available in the Penn app nor is much information provided about one's stay. We finally found a brochure at the front desk when we went to inquire about where to find a "do not disturb" hang tag (the app live chat was useless for any room information). Room service is upon request only, that info is also not available unless asking a front desk attendant. I requested a Penn play card for gambling, the attendant did not explain how to use it, so it took us two days to realize the card must be inserted in the slots the entire time you play to track usage. You can remove it only AFTER you cash out. - It's extremely frustrating to use the Penn play cards at the machines. We had to constantly try again and again as most readers do not see a card has been inserted. Some machines we completely gave up on... - The room was TIRED (both beds had mattresses which sunk from damage/overuse, both headboards had peeling faux leather behind the pillows, there was random scotch tape on the walls and some holes/dings, the toilet's door jam was coming loose from the wall, bathroom was not extremely clean (heavy dust coating on baseboards, hair on bathroom counter, etc) - Of of 6 elevators to the tower: 4 had broken LCD screens (making it difficult to determine at which level the car would stop), 2 made very concerning cable car noises (we begun avoiding them), all 6 were unsecured (guest key card access on cars was disabled; letting ANY casino patrons access the room floors) - the pool deck has posted adults only hours (daily 7-11pm) however, despite various staff walk through a dozen children were still splashing about at 8:30pm on Friday night - the vending machine on the pool deck was out of service and drinks ordered poolside through the QR code available on tables was not delivered to the pool deck (despite note of location in order) - the ice machine on floor 10 was out of order and no microwave was available in the rooms (or in the vending room) making it impossible to get takeout if one got tired of in house options. A microwave in the vending room would be a great addition - ambient music in the casino was great mid-week throughout until on Friday night at around 8pm it was set to blast and was along with the ambient slots noise it was no longer enjoyable. We left the floor shortly after - wait staff on the casino floor was scarce both on weekdays and weekends. It didn't seem they were circulating much, and when they did come by, they often skipped us (we are not big drinkers, so it was fine for us, but it left us feeling un-welcomed). Interestingly enough, for both drinks I ordered during my stay (handed a $5 bill for tip) I was asked if I wanted any change back :-/ - the floral scent that's pumped through the AC units on the casino floor can quickly become overwhelming and a bit nauseating. I understand casinos do this to cover up odors and have a 'signature scent' however a lighter less floral aroma may be a better choice Overall a good value for us (over low-occupancy days and with a good promotion) and a change of pace for a fun few days away from the hustle and bustle of city living.

Upon my arrival he greeted me as I pulled up and quickly checked me in. The Columbine is Charming. The room reminds me of going to my grandmother's home. It smelled fantastic when I walked in the door. The bedding isn't the standard white. It's full of color, as are the towels. There is a kitchenette, small table, two burner stove, fridge, microwave, and a coffee pot. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The only thing that could possibly be improved was the paint that was peeling in the restroom probably from the steam and years. Nothing a new coat of paint couldn't fix. I would definitely stay here again. It was adorable, comfortable, and most importantly affordable. I appreciate the kindness of Sam, and hope to see him again when I visit the area.

I don't know if I can say enough good things about Club Hotel…read more The entire experience had a bed-and-breakfast feel without being a traditional bed-and-breakfast. Check-in was fantastic, and the hospitality and friendliness set the tone for the entire stay. We stayed on the first floor in The Stanley, and the room felt surprisingly spacious thanks to the high ceilings. The bathroom was large, the room was exceptionally clean, and thoughtful touches were everywhere. The soaps were great, there were plenty of towels, and we appreciated having pour over coffee and creamers available both in the room and on each floor. They provide a couple of bottles of water and a lotion as well. One thing we really enjoyed was that the hotel never felt crowded or busy. There wasn't always someone stationed at the front desk, which may not be for everyone, but for us it made the place feel more like a home than a hotel. Coming and going felt effortless and comfortable. The location is excellent - just a block from Miner Street and easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and everything downtown Idaho Springs has to offer. The complimentary parking across the street was another huge plus, especially since free parking can be hard to find in town. The history of the building adds to the charm, and it's clear the owners have put a lot of thought into preserving that character while creating a comfortable place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
