Carson Hot Springs Golf & Spa Resort

The place are older but our room was perfectly fine. They have nice place to sit on the deck and by fire pit. The soaking bathtubs was very relaxing and the bathrobe are very useful. I was kind of disappointed with the pool, it was so much chlorine in. It was burning my eyes. Overall I like the setting of the hotel and the old charm.

We stayed at Carson's Hotsprings just because it is close to zip-lining. The rooms were affordable and fairly clean. Many people enjoyed the hot spring water, but it didn't seem right in 96° heat! The staff is nice and professional. We noticed the clientele are mostly older folks, so everyone was nice and polite.

Visited Carson Hot Springs Resort for my birthday because I wanted a relaxing quiet time away from the city I live in. When we first walked into the room my partner pointed out that there was still feces from the previous guest on the back of the toilet seat, he cleaned it off so I didn't bother complaining to the front desk because she said she was alone and It was a little late. After that we decided to go into our personal hot tub which never got hot. After the long drive I didn't feel like switching rooms so I did not complain as we were only there for 2 days anyway. The front desk was always nice and helpful and the bed was comfortable enough.

The accommodations are pretty basic, at or below the quality of a similarly-priced room at a national chain hotel. They have spa services that I'm sure a lot of people enjoy. The location is tucked away in a quiet, scenic valley backdrop providing a nice place to come back to after experiencing the many activities the gorge area has to offer. The WiFi quality was sketchy to non-existent depending on where your room is.

I have both positive and negative feedback for our stay. The negative was at check-in after a long drive and my spouse was told they had no pet friendly rooms available. I heard him call the hotel and make sure they would as we have a senior dog who comes with us everywhere and never want any issues like this. We tried to book directly but was not able to and used a 3rd party (which seemed to make them upset?). I was outside with our dog and hubs came out to give me the news. I gave him the dog and went in to see why there was an issue and was treated so rudely by the young blonde at the desk with an attitude beyond belief and then would just sit and stare at me. The other desk attendant, Adrian, overheard and asked if he should call Lana to the rude one. Thank goodness for Adrian, as there apparently was a pet friendly room open after calling her?! I'm sure it must be hard to find good employees in a rural area but that one really needs to go! Maybe she should explore a career in collections or LE, as clearly, CS is not her calling. The positive was the room was fine, clean and quiet, and the hot/cold pools were too. Well probably come back, but I will call Lana myself next time, lol! Thanks for trying folks, it must be hard to please everyone. Lastly, I'll post a pic of the MAGA nutters vehicle who parked next to us. TDS much?!?

Love this place!! Favorite place to come and heal and completely rejuvenate. They have hot tub rooms with the true hot spring water with all the minerals that literally heal cancer cells. They even have day passes that are around $15 bucks! I def recommend for girls nights, couples, men’s retreats…etc. No kids allowed in the pool area.

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here and in the exact same room, H101. The heat of the tub was tepid at best. We spent the whole of the night boiling hot water on the stove utilizing additional pots of our own. We tried 3 different times to enjoy the tub, chalking it up to the fact maybe a lot of guests had just checked in but to no avail. The sinks, shower and tub all held the same tepid temperature. The jacuzzi had mildew and mold on it which is by the way apparently is the spring/mineral water. All else, is indeed city water as told to me by maintenance.||When I called to speak with a representative of the resort in the morning , no one answered but I did receive a call back and was reassured maintenance would be assisting us. Brandon stated this was a city temperature ordinance. If so, then you should state your water temperatures prior to the arrival of your guests. We spent 330 plus about 20 in fees for this room.||Brandon did somehow manage to fix the issue and we enjoyed the room for a total of two hours in the morning prior to check out and assured us he spoke to GM and we would be speaking with them. However, upon checking out, the also tepid front desk staff notified us the GM wasn’t on the property.||I would give Zero stars if it wasn’t for Brandon. The morning staff was far below average.||I am writing this as a multiple diamond member at Hilton, Multiple Gold member at Marriott, Gold Member of Delta and a person whose professional career is flying around the country measuring Temperature and Humidity in sterile and sub sterile environments. Trust me, the water was cold. I very rarely am so upset that I write a bad review and often go out of my way to acknowledge the hard work of staff, hotel and resorts as a whole.||Spend your money elsewhere, we won’t be returning! I’d rather drive all the way to Ashland and enjoy Lithia Springs Resort!

Absolutely stunning place. Nothing like sitting in a natural mineral springs hot tub on your balcony watching the sun rise. Very clean, and the front desk gal Elizabeth was wonderful. Will definitely be coming back.

We went and stayed for one night, but had an amazing time in the hot pool and the cool pool, rooms were cozy and clean, and the restaurants in town were awesome too.

Sadly this trip they didn't have rooms ready. Waiting thru line twice after 4pm. After I asked to checkin now and get key when ready I sat and waited in the lobby. Clearly not staffed for a few checkins. The lot was full meaning a bunch of stayovers. So the room cleaning should have been a short list.

Pretty good however, the front desk staff are cold and uninformed. The tubs are great and the attendant is sweet. Reasonably priced for tubs and wrap. THE restaurant at the golf course Elk Ridge. is not good unless all you want is a drink. I ate the breakfast muffin with ham and egg and ended up in the bathroom throwing it up after 20 min. So hotel room is fine decent bed clean roomy

The hotel room I was in is a bit outdated and had a musty smell . The door paint on outside was peeling and I was way down on the end where there were many stairs to climb but at the other end was a ramp so I had to walk all the way down to the other end because I have a bad foot and knee . The WiFi is not very good I had trouble keeping connected . You should get a better WiFi for your hotel. The heater in the room is so loud I had to keep it turn down very low when going to sleep for the night or else I would wake up every time it came on . I am a light sleeper so if you are not it may not bother you. My room had no ironing board I called the front desk to see if one was available unfortunately I was told sorry no we don't have one. The hot tub they have is amazing I have to admit it's so huge . A lot of people use it so had to find a time when not so many people were there . My room size was a nice size and the bed was very comfy. The scenery. Is very beautiful. And appreciate that the room has nice terry robes for your use while there . You do have to request a room refresher while you are there they don't go in automatically to clean .

I was contemplating whether I should give this place a lower score after a bad first impression. I had booked a room with the hot tub. When I checked in, they gave me a room and said it was ready. First issue, the key card wouldn't work. The guy working there opened it and went to help us get a key that worked. Then, when we went in, the room was NOT ready. We were not happy at this time, but we waited patiently for them to prepare the room. It was a good thing that we had arrived earlier than planned, because I wouldn't want to wait outside in the dark. They need a better process to figure out if the room is ready next time; hopefully, it was just a one-time mishap. Got in a better mood after using the hot tub. It was very nice and relaxing. In addition, the room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, a good experience.

My recent stay here offered a mixed experience. Upon arrival, the front desk staff member wasn't particularly welcoming, and unfortunately, I didn't catch their name. I only know she had lots of tatoos. In contrast, the staff at the bathhouse were fantastic! My spa attendant's attentiveness more than made up for the initial disappointment. The bathhouse itself offered a wonderful ambiance, transporting you back in time while providing a relaxing and worthwhile experience. I especially enjoyed the wrap treatment, which was so relaxing I drifted off to sleep. The room was spacious, although there were a few minor maintenance issues. However, considering the price point, it felt like a fair value. Overall, I would rate the hotel a 2 1/2-star experience with a great bathhouse experience balanced by uneven service. A special shout-out to Priciella at the front desk! Her friendly and professional demeanor made a significant difference in our stay. Management, you have a gem in her!

We had a great time here, although we had a rough go round with customer service at first, upper management made it right. we loved the personal hot tub and the Wind River we could hear at night!

Loved coming here for years. It was rustic but clean, fresh and so quiet. The wind river was all you'd hear. Now with a frat party next door and doors slamming it's too noisy for overnights. The mineral pool is good but the cold pool isn't working. And the room smells like dog. For a moment I thought I was in Seaside, OR. Another one bites the dust.

In the desperate search for anything that will take the edge off the pain my wife has been dealing with for more than a month (due to a pinched nerve in her neck), we've visited several chiropractors, massage therapists, and urgent care centers; all have helped to some degree, but there still hasn't been a silver bullet to put an end to her suffering. However, after visiting an all natural, outdoor hot spring last week, and finding things much improved for a longer period of time, I decided to drive her out to Carson, which is much closer to home, to see if another soak session would help provide some much needed relief. I've heard about Carson Hot Spring most of my life, but I'd never been here before. Having experienced some truly magical hot springs in Japan (and now in Oregon as well!), I was skeptical that I would enjoy it here. I'm not particularly a fan of spas and resorts, and even less excited by hot springs that are housed within modern buildings, with the mineral water dredged up from the earth in pipes and pumped into a pool or tub: the experience is just not the same. But hey, we didn't come here for me, did we? $17 gets you one hour of soak time (plus a few minutes on either end for changing and showering) on the weekends; it's cheaper during the workweek ($12 instead). You're given a choice of the quiet, serene, gender-segregated bath house (sorry, couples!), which we did not use, or the more public, communal mineral spa in an adjacent building; my wife opted for the latter. Within, a larger pool bubbles and froths with a mixture of chlorine and mineral water, and is comfortably, almost exceptionally warm. Attached to it is a smaller tub filled with significantly more tepid water, for cooling down. Alternating between these two extremes provides the best bang for your buck, when it comes to muscle relaxation. Carson provides many other services across its campus: massages (including couples), bath and wrap, a somewhat Spartan communal game room, some snacks and beverages purchasable at the concierge desk. Hotel rooms are available, and plentiful, although the quality of said rooms was not observed during our single day trip visit. The hot springs, as a business entity, has existed here for over 130 years, and the original building, where hotel rooms and spa services are booked, looks the part, while the outlying buildings, where overnight visitors will find their rooms, are significantly more modern in comparison, although they still look dated. Sadly, all of the soaking pools are accessible only for guests 18 and older, meaning that I had to abstain from enjoying them (this time), as someone had to stay out to watch our newborn son. However, even if he hadn't been with us, 18 seems a bit extreme. Excluding young children (under 6, maybe?) seems reasonable, but anything higher than that, I just can't reckon a good reason why. Considering we took our two youngest boy (7 years, and 11 months, respectively) to Terwilliger Hot Springs last week, and they both had a total blast, it's even harder to fathom...and that place is clothing optional, and in the middle of the woods! Even with these complaints, Carson Hot Springs still offers a wonderful, rejuvenating experience, for a reasonable price, and is a fantastic little day trip from Vancouver or Portland. Whether an overnight stay is worth the price of admission, I couldn't tell you (yet), but as far as my wife is concerned, her long, luxurious soak did wonders for her pain management, at least in the short term. Whether that's due to the properties of the water, its temperature, the relaxing atmosphere, or all three, the result is the same: she felt much better afterward. I guess that's why this place has been here for more than a century.

I was in the Carson area for a wedding this weekend and decided to take a little private time to enjoy the Hot Springs. My nephew and I decided to enjoy the hot spring soak and body wrap. It was a wonderful experience, however I heard from my nephew that the men's side had a cold plunge pool while the women's side does not have. That's unfortunate because I would have loved the cold plunge part. I'm just curious why they don't have both. Other than that, it was a great experience and I highly recommend.

Not a bad spot for a soak. It is $17/hr on weekends, $12/hr on weekdays. There doesn't appear to be an extra charge for towels, but they ran out, so it's a good idea to bring your own. There is a large hot pool w/ jets, which I believe is 104 degrees. There's also a smaller cold plunge pool. There's bathrooms, a shower in the public area for rinsing (no soap provided), lockers, water fountains, and changing stalls. I personally would prefer the hot pool to be a degree or two cooler, and also would have liked it if the windows could open. It got a bit crowded in the second half of my time there. All in all, a well priced, clean place not too far from Portland to escape for a hot soak!

WTF Carson? I used to love this place but when I came here to soak I was told that the corporation that acquired this place will no longer have a cold plunge tub in the private soaking area (that we pay $35+ for a soak and wrap). When asking about this I was told that i would have to pay for an entire extra tub. This defies the medicinal purpose of soaking- which is for our circulatory system. So corporate greed has now perverted this sacred healing space. If anyone has the name of the corporation reply here so we can identify the toxic decision makers. Huge bummer Carson Hot Springs.

Even though I've been visiting Carson Hot Springs for over 30 years, the historic resort has been around a whole lot longer. In fact, the venue was established in 1892! Just across the river from Portland, and out east a bit, Carson Hot Springs is located in the deeply-wooded town of Carson, Washington. Keep your eyes peeled folks, this is the kind of place where you might see Bigfoot! The entire property exudes a sense of nostalgia and historic charm. Nothing here is state of the art, in fact, you'll find corrosion, rust and peeling paint in some of the overlooked corners of the resort. Let's just call it character because the price is right! If the owners upped the ante of poshness, you'd definitely spend a whole lot more to relax at the spa or stay overnight in their quaint accommodations. The only reason folks are drawn to this remote stretch of Hwy 14 is for the geothermal hot springs, well-known for its therapeutic properties. There are many snake oil-type stories of various maladies that have been cured by those soaking in the water at Carson, but all I know is I feel a whole lot better when I leave. It's been fascinating to watch the resort change over the years. The original buildings still exist, but new cabins and accommodations have been added to serve visitors as the resort's popularity surges. Antique clawfoot bathtubs add to the vintage charm, but a large swimming pool modernizes the space and allows for more relaxation opportunities. Check out the resort website for massage, soaking and wrap prices. They even have specials for folks wanting to visit early in the week. Day passes are available, as well as deals for holidays and special occasions. Do yourself a favor and visit Carson Hot Springs... it really is a Pacific Northwest gem.

The bath and wrap was luxurious. I felt like an absolute queen. I also loved being able to swim in the pool beforehand. I wasn't a guest and wanted to do both things. Having never visited I didn't know exactly what to expect. If you're wanting to do both things I would definitely recommend the pool & the bath and wrap. Don't miss this spectacular spot.

I love this place. It is not fancy but they cover my needs better than many 5 star Spas. An ideal visit would be a 25 hot mineral water tub soak, followed by a 20 full body wrap and ending with a full body massage. All of that with tip will cost less than $200 per person. I have not stayed at the hotel, but that will be considered in the future. I have been here several times over the last decade, good for all seasons.

We've been coming over the years and have noticed a drop off in service. Recently we went on a mother/daughter day trip and we each had a bath/wrap and massage. We did not enjoy the experience. The massages were very light, and the practitioners did not seem well trained. Afterwards we asked ourselves: "Did we just have a massage?" The spa area smelled very strongly of scented candles which gave us a headache. The spa attendant was not friendly. Will not go back.

The private hot tub was AMAZING. Super nice, super private. We had thought about getting an AirBnb, but decided against it because (a) hidden fees and (b) who wants to do chores? This was a great alternative, and absolutely sparkling clean water and hot tub. The bathroom was also gorgeous; beautiful tile and totally clean. The actual room - well, it was a bit dated, and the walls are thin (take a white noise generator), but very everything worked, the bed was comfy, and the setting is gorgeous. We didn't do the bathhouse at all; why go, when you've got your own private hot tub? Will come again. Recommend.

Very misleading advertising - rooms are very outdated and smells horrible. Our sheets had hair everywhere with stains ... Also had housekeeping redo our sheets & they left our door wide open!! We were off the premises and came back to our door open with all of our personal belongings available to others. Absolutely unacceptable.

I have been going to soak at the tubs at this establishment for literally decades. Today we showed up as a family and was told that our 17, almost 18yo daughter could not soak - must be 18 to soak - "because of the nudity" is what the staff told me - which is just silly. My wife had bought two soaks and two wraps for us (I was parking the car while all this was happening at the counter). Since we had planned to do this as a family I asked to be refunded our money. They refused to refund us the nearly $80!!! We would gladly have come back another time - probably in December when our daughter turns 18 . . . and can handle nudity. We will not be returning after this terrible customer service experience. This place has changed hands many times and now not for the better.

Had the most wonderful day celebrating my friends birthday at Carson Hot Springs!!! We soaked in the vintage bathhouse in claw foot tubs for 30 minutes and then received a tight towel wrap for 25 minutes. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience from entering the bathhouse to the finale of the experience a classic massage. The massage was fantastic and ask for Spring if you'd like a great massage that was sooo relaxing and rejuvenating. We spent a little over 2 hours pampering ourselves and we vow to make this more of a regular outing!!

We enjoyed this unique hot spring experience! The staff were very nice and the place was very clean. I hope to be back! Thank you!

We stopped here to use the bath house on a Saturday morning. It was pretty quiet and empty when we started. We were hopping to get massages but they were booked. It's slightly creepy but I loved my soak and wrap experience. It was $35 for a 25 minute soak and a 25 minute wrap. The ladies giving massages were so loud and didn't shut their doors so we could hear everything while trying to relax during the wrap session. Other we had a pretty interesting and different experience and I can finally cross this Washington hot springs off the list.

The rooms needed to be updated. Rugs need to be cleaned. More handicap parking closer to the rooms. Rooms cleaned and checked by a manager to make sure they are .

At first I felt the Service at front desk was welcoming & cheerful. The bathhouse attendant was beyond unprofessional. The bathhouse attendant was venomous, I guess because I expressed that I am willing to wait for a tub that I enjoy caused her to go out of her mind! I was told to exit her bathhouse!! Twice, for explaining that I wasn't in a hurry and could wait! I enjoy the drive up the gorge, but it is a choice, as the cost of gas and soaking tubs aren't cheap! So it's a bit of an investment, of time and $$, but in all the almost 50 years that I've been coming... it's always been worth the drive and cost. I waited again at the front desk to just request a refund... explaining the I had no idea what just happened??? Elaina at the front desk asked for me to wait and she fell this was (not normal). She returned and explained that the tub was available within the next 20 minutes. Expressing another attendant would replace the young blond attendant. I agreed to that and returned to the tub house about 20-25 minutes... I felt uncertain still, as I felt the new attendant was just getting me in... no personal graciousness. The attendant was absent most of the shirted bath time, as I wanted to inquire about drinking the hot water, & if it was safe today? The young blond expressed it was time to exit my time was over. I questioned that the tub time was short as I didn't even enter the tub house until 6:07pm and it was 7pm straight up! She said no that's not what the attendant that ran the tub wrote in... This was incorrect and my 45 minute tub was all

Went down for a wrap,soak and massage. Tim the attendant was amazing. Made the visit so welcoming . The massage did a fine job on this old body.

This place is one of my favorite places to get away for a few days . When u first pull in and see the resort it is breath taking (especially at night) . I stayed a few nights for valentines day and they did not disappoint. From the front desk to the spa attendants to the other guest it was top notch service. Very polite and eager to help. They even had single stem roses and chocolate covered strawberries available for purchase at the check in office just in case !!!! The room was quiet never heard any other guests noises the bathroom was huge! Hot tub on patio was secluded and so relaxing !! I did the spa treatment and the price was affordable at only 30 bucks!! Close to towns at any direction and it made for the best valentines get away ever!!! I will now be making plans to visit here at least a few times a year. I live 2 hours away and visit Portland often. Thankyou all so much for the perfect experience I would give a hundred stars if I could!!!!

Love it! Great and quiet atmosphere. Got two rooms and enjoyed everything about it. Desk help was friendly and the rooms spotless. Hot tub was awesome. Thanks for a great stay, wish I could have stayed longer!

Best kept secret of Southern WA and easy and gorgeous drive from Portland. I was first introduced to this relaxing gem of a place a couple months ago from a friend. I live in NW Portland and frequent the bath house every week on my day off work. It's a step back in time and very relaxing and I cannot believe how charming it is. A bath and wrap is very affordable. Had a massage on one of my visits and that was wonderful to add to the experience. Friendly professional staff and super clean and quiet. Love this nostalgic gem. The frosting is how amazing the mineral water is for my skin. It's sooo soft after a soak in the claw foot tub and of course the wrap that follows and some time in the sauna!! Perfect retreat to recharge and relax. Highly recommend.

I have been coming here for over 30 years and the customer service at the front desk for several years has been very rude. There is little humility and an air of arrogance when you get turned away (their soak times are almost always booked, only walk-in's welcome). Refusing to take reservations seems to give them an air of superiority and breeds a scarcity mindset. I live nearby and have trouble getting in because they don't take soaking reservations and I see many turned away, even though they drive far to get there. Super uncool. Likewise, the bathhouse wrap room needs an upgrade. It may have mold growing in the walls, it's so old. They should change their soak reservation policy, improve the bath and eatery facilities (considering that a foreign company that probably has plenty of money owns it) and treat people more kindly. My two cents.

This hotel is fair. It needs some serious upgrades in order to be called a resort, and it is disingenuous to call an indoor, chlorine filled hot tub a mineral hot springs. The pool area lacks a legitimate changing room so I had to use a restroom stall to change because I arrived before the 4 p.m. check in time. Staff was less than willing to answer questions, but pushy on the "strict 4 p.m." check-in time. My room was clean with good quality soaps, etc; however the wifi was poor and the TV was analog only so I could only get 4 channels. I did not book any spa services, but I did try the golf club restaurant, which had decent food, although overpriced. A single slice of cake cost $13. This hotel needs some painting as well as more activities for non golfers to enjoy, especially since there is little else to do in Carson. Kudos to the Carson Mercantile, local coffee shop, and golf club waitress for courteous and kind service.

I came here for hot springs. First of all, I don't think it's "hot springs (nature water)". I think it's just pool size jacuzzi. They just heat up the water, I won't call it hot springs!!!! Secondly, the bleach smell is way too strong!!!! Paying $12.5 for one hour in the heated pool, I won't recommend or come again.

Love Carson and am very happy to hear about the new ownership. We all hope and pray they can bring the old historical building back to life and keep reinvesting in this wonderful healing place! My only complaint is the television service in room is lame. Alot of channels don't have audible dialogue no matter how high you put the volume. And very limited on channel choice. For some reason alot of empty channels with just a train rolling by on the screen. Would have enjoyed watching the Sunday football game from bed before going back out and enjoying the mineral bath and spa.... Maybe fix your current station volume issues and upgrade channels?

My partner loves hotsprings and this is no exception. This is a unique way to enjoy them and may not be what you are expecting if you are a natural hot springs type of person. We've stayed here twice, the last time over 10 years ago, nothing seemed to have changed in that time period. If we ever stay again I will definitely consider the hot tub rooms more seriously although the prices seem really high to me. A regular room is reasonably priced, the rooms are not anything special, we definitely come for the mineral baths. This place does appear dated but perhaps that adds to the ambiance. It is an excellent example of the Washington landscape and the history of the area. I'd love to have time to do some hiking on my next visit. It would be nice if the restaurant ever got going again, not sure if this is related to covid or what. There are places to eat in driving distance in both directions. We really enjoyed the pool which is a new addition since our last visit. I think it may be a nice experience to just come and do this on a day visit if you happen to be in the area and prefer to save by not paying for a hotel. I would have liked get in more than once, but time did not allow. We opted to do the tubs and wraps as well, which seem to be priced appropriately at about 30$. The bathhouses are separated by gender so it can be hard to figure out when the other person will be done. On my most recent visit some of the other people in my bathhouse were a bit loud which made relaxing difficult. Its nice to have the privacy curtains to allow you some time and space to try to zone out.

The room had dirty carpet, TV stations were not accurate to the list supplied and not great reception, there was no room to place items in the bathroom, pillows were horrible, and bed was very firm. It took close to 10 mins to get hot water to the shower. Ice maker near the office was inoperable and had to walk to yet another building.  No relaxing chairs, so very disappointed in the room.   On Friday we had to go purchase pillows to try and sleep better.  We had high expectations for this weekend, even taking into account some reviews,  but we were disappointed.   With "resort" in the name, we had expectations of some nice amenities,  but sadly we didn't see any.  Even the tile in large mineral pool is cracking and in need of repair.

Well, we gave this place our best shot . When we arrived we were told that anyone under 18 could not use the bath house or mineral pool . I was a bit astounded . It is in the fine print on the website . When I did make the reservation I stated how excited I was to bring my kids , that would have been a good opportunity for the reservationist to let me know " no kids allowed". We did have a hotel suite w a hot tub and that saved us from not just twiddling our thumbs. There is smoking on the balconies which is kind of gross. The room is in need of a major upgrade . I feel like the run down look of this place is part of its charm but for $360 a night and no access to the facilities was a major blow . If your an adult w other adults , come for the day and then go to Hood River and stay somewhere there . My husband got an excellent massage from one of the male therapists in the spa .

We probably won't stay the night but will stay for a few hours for the mineral water soak. A band for the day is about $18.50 -$20.50 and they have changing rooms in the pool area as well as bathrooms. Joseph in the pool room was very kind and hardworking. When he wasn't moping up he was dusting the outside of the building! I couldn't believe what a great job he was doing.

Been coming here for the past 15 years. Never disappoints. Wonderful service and always feel rejuvenated after a soak and wrap. Sulfur water is sooo good for you! Historic place! Highly recommend

Hmmm...idk. I wasn't impressed with Carson Hotspring. It wasn't all bad but it wasn't all good either. We came to town for a day of white water rafting. Negatives - 4PM check in is just a no to me. That is just way to late to be checking into a hotel for me. - what good is a restaurant that closes at 4PM if check in is at 4PM. In fact, the hot tubs closed at 7 and the spa pool closed at 9PM. So check in, rest quick, run down the spa, get hell out of spa and get back to your room? - the hotel lobby for check in smelled weird. - i messaged the front desk that we would like a roll away bed. They confirmed they're have one ready. When we got there the lady there said "we can't provide one because of fire code." Well, why confirm one in the first place and why do you even have them if you can't provide them... - don't bother turning on the TV, there are no channels worth looking at - two people sitting at the lobby desk in the morning. One helping a customer. The other marking a paper didn't acknowledge me. I mean, if you're too busy at least say "good morning, she'll be with you in one moment" or something. Idk. Positives - 3 person hot tub in our room on the balcony. It was clean and worked well. Easy to operate. - beds and bedding were comfortable (pillow was a big hard though) - there is a big jacuzzi like tub that a lot of people can get in with a smaller cold tub to cool back off in Overall, it was an ok stay but the negatives outweighed the positives for me. My wife was still a fan because she could use the hot tub in the morning. I'd probably still select it because of the hot tub in the room.

My wife and I had a wonderful time, private jacuzzi off of room outside. Be advised it's like some west coast cities... stores and restaurants we saw within the area closed around 8pm, if not before. Four pillows provided (soft and hard) . Didn't watch any TV, because Jacuzzi's are awesome! Would give five stars if you could eat there after 4pm. IMO

As a last minute surprise, my husband booked a night here on Friday. We arrived a quarter to midnight and were surprised to find no key awaiting us in the lobby. He made the reservation through booking and tried contacting the front desk a few hours before we started driving there. We never received any callback, but weren't too concerned. There was some miscommunication and a few staff members were confused about where our key was. They were really nice and accommodating, but it wasn't off to the best start. In the end, they had to make an entirely new reservation. Eventually, we received the key to our king-sized room, with a hot tub on the patio! It was a huge room, but a bit outdated. The hot tub was nice, but we had to clean it out since there were some insects. One of the vents kept detaching, but we had little energy to complain. The view was lovely and I'm glad the room came with a hot tub. However, the bed was just okay and the bathroom was decently cleaned. Neither of us was interested in the spa services since I'm not a fan of the sulfur smell that comes from natural hot springs. To conclude our stay, we took one last dip in our personal hot tub, admiring the spruce trees surrounding the property and enjoying the fresh air of the mountains. When we checked out, the staff was kind enough to comp our stay due to the miscommunication regarding our reservation. Overall, I would give the staff a 4/5, but the rooms were a 2.5.

Made reservations for my wife and her Mom, plus 2 friends. November 5th for November 25,26, and 27th. While my wife and crew were enroute to Carson Resort, an employee called her and asked her if she wanted to reschedule her trip. Not a couple or one day before like any normal business would. My wife doesn't speak fluent English, so she said no. When they arrived, they were told the main pool was closed. They were charged $30/ person, and they could only use the Sauna, Soak, and wrapping for 25 minutes per person. They were talked down to by the staff, and treated like they were bothering the employees by being there. The young lady employee was very rude. You people were lucky I wasn't there, because I wouldn't have left until ALL OF MY MONEY WAS REFUNDED! How dare you treat my wife and her group like this! Stop taking reservations, and ripping people off until your facilities are up and running! You people are awful, and I will black ball you to EVERYONE!!! A full refund would be a good start, but you're clearly not honest enough to offer, because you only apologized after another screwed over patron yelled at you for your abysmal customer disservice. Don't waste your money on this dump! It's like a roadside motel that charges by the hour. They tried to get away with only giving her group of four 2 robes. Were they expected to share robes?! The staff at Carson Resort seem more like disgruntled 7-11 employees. Avoid these awful people!!!

I just love Carson Hotspring and try to get in to soak there about once a month. At $30 on week days and $35 on the weekend, it is a deal for an hour of relaxation. They offer a 25 minute soak and 25 minute wrap but I usually just soak for 50 minutes because I'm a bath connoisseur. It's first come, first serve (unless you schedule a massage) so the weekends can get busy. The men's and women's bathhouses have individual cast-iron tubs that on the women's side, are separated by shower curtains. The bathhouses offer changing rooms with attached saunas and showers for after your soak/wrap.They are kept impeccably clean and the bath attendants are polite and attentive. You should tip them. The water is healing and comes right from the spring at the bottom of the hill. Because of this, it naturally smells like sulfur which some may not like. I personally like it and appreciate its benefits. If you are lucky enough to have a massage as part of your treatments at Carson Hotspring Spa, you will be escorted from the bathhouse to your treatment room by your massage therapist. You must schedule massages in advance but I have seen walk-in availability at times. The ambiance is cozy and serene, and it has an old-timey vibe that suits my kinda hillbilly self. I usually visit Carson Hotspring Spa on my own but it's a great place to go with a girlfriend or partner. It's perfect after a hike in the Gorge. Backwoods brewery is close, offers great food, and my husband enjoys their beer selection. Stopping here has become part of our routine when visiting Carson. I'll have to review them next.....

Check in was efficient and staff was friendly. We stayed a night in a room with mineral water hot tub on the porch. The water was lovely on my skin. The view was beautiful from the tub. Our room was spacious and clean. The big mineral pool was closed for renovations during our visit so I can't comment on that. Only a 4 star review because the website claims there is a restaurant on site but there is not. We brought snacks.

Private tubs don't have much privacy. The building is old and would definitely benefit from a full renovation.

The first time I went to Carson Hot Springs is all the way back in 1990. Back then there were old cabins and no big hotel and it was pretty charming and though they've modernized it quite a bit, it still retains the original charm. I love soaking in the old clawfoot tubs and getting the hot towel wrap. It's the perfect day trip from Portland.

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.

This is the view from the 3rd floor. I tried to get the mountain . I like the trees. I just got here. My 1st time here. I recommend getting the room with the hot tub. I'll review more. I'm getting in the hot tub. By the way check in at 4pm. I don't know about rooms without hot tubs, but check in cannot be early. No worries you can check out the local scene. They will let you into the pool to wait.

We stayed here for a night for NYE. We would stay again. I think the pros outweigh the cons, but here is my list of pros and cons: Pros: * Nice staff at front desk. The gentleman who checked us in, who is a supervisor there, was so kind and helpful. * The views from our hot tub room were magical. I could've stayed in the hot tub for hours staring at the view. * Hot tub was spacious and comfortable and got very hot Cons: * The older female pool attendant was horrible. I brought my service dog in that helps alert me when I'm about to have a seizure and she told us he had to leave. She asked to see his papers, which is illegal. So, I couldn't spend any time in the pool. This is a very big con of course. Next time I'll bring the papers, or just not go to the pool. Honestly, the pool is just a big hot tub, so if you have a hot tub room, that trumps it. * There's no food at the hotel except a few snacks for sale. This is not a con except for the fact that nowhere on the website mentions this. If we knew ahead of time, we would've brought food. There are no microwaves in the room either so you have to use the office microwave. They could at least put microwaves in the room that costs $300+. * The price. This is not a fancy place. It's very overpriced. All that being said, I'd still go back, but I'll go back better prepared next time. Those views and mineral water really heal the soul.

I am writing this review for a family friend whose parents drove over 4 hours to relax and recoup in the hot springs. Her parents are in their twilight years and her father is recovering from a stroke. Hence the nightmare trip to this so called "resort." Checking in was standard.. got the room keys and then the nightmare begins. First off, the staff at this place is beyond rude to any immigrants who do not speak English well. My friend's parents are an older, Korean couple. English is not their 1st language.. I can understand the language. I cannot not will not tolerate rudeness in a customer service oriented "establishment" where the service and courtesy is nonexistent. If customer service is not your thing, GTFO of the industry. Service aside, the sheets on the bed were covered in what looks to be a combination of urine, feces, and blood. I dont know what kind of hotel resort even thinks this is even passable to paying customers. I'm not sure whether ownership reads these Yelp reviews or not.. but if they do, please know I will be calling the health department and hopefully getting them shutdown. My friend's parents are currently in room 103, tonight, January 19, 2020. And the heat doesn't work in the room. They are currently sleeping in their jackets because front desk Here is the timeline of events: 430 pm - checked in 600 pm - spa appointment for father, who had stroke. Spa attendants were advised to call mother to help him after treatments were completed as he has trouble walking. They left him there unattended, in the cold. 800 pm - the sheets were inspected. Called front desk. Waited over 45 minutes. Staff left without changing sheets or following up. I honestly don't know how these people are still in business.
