The hype
Beautifully renovated facilities and amazing water, but the staff is clearly new and still learning the ropes.
Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa
$135-250 / nit
Reserva-ho si You want a private mineral hot tub on your balcony and don't mind a few 'soft opening' service hiccups.
Per Què Agrada Tant
- Private balcony hot tubs fed by mineral springs
- Newly reopened (2025) with renovated interiors
- Serene Columbia River Gorge location away from city noise
Vista ràpida: A legendary hot springs resort that just reopened and is still figuring out its service rhythm, but the water is perfect.
Revisat per @InnaM8660903: I needed a break from the city, and this rustic lodge was perfect. The mineral waters are the real deal—I spent hours soaking. It’s not ultra-modern, but the cozy fireplace and forest views made me feel totally at peace. Highly recommend for a quiet recharge.

Reality check
The 'resort' feel is a bit sterile and hotel-like, lacking the lush, established vibe of its predecessor.
- You prioritize private soaking over social scenes
- You are bringing a dog (very pet-friendly)
- You want a quiet basecamp for Gorge hiking
Neteja i Manteniment
7
- Housekeeping: Generally good, but reports of missed spots (mini-fridge odors, trash left behind).
- Bathroom hygiene: Mixed. Some sparkling, others report 'debris' or 'foam' in the jacuzzi tubs.
- Maintenance: Freshly renovated (2025), so paint and fixtures are new, but plumbing noise is an issue.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality; one report of stained sheets suggests quality control gaps.
- Odors & scents: Occasional 'sour' smell in rooms or strong chlorine in the pool area.

Consells de Professionals
- ✨
The indoor pool can smell like chlorine; stick to the outdoor mineral pools or your private tub.
- ✨
Request a 'Forest View' specifically—'Courtyard' views look at other guests.
- ✨
The 'Pacific Crest' restaurant has a great burger, but service is slow; order early.
5 coses que cal saber abans de partir

💡The bar can be physically cold (bring a sweater).
💡Mini-golf is included but is outdoors and weather-dependent.
💡You might find 'foam' in the outdoor hot tubs—it's a known filtration quirk.
