Overview
What it is
Blackstone Hotsprings is a small, themed lodging-and-soaking property in downtown Truth or Consequences. The defining detail is simple: each room includes its own in-room hot spring feature for private soaking. In addition, the property offers a limited number of day-use bathing options, which are typically scheduled rather than drop-in.
Soaking style
This is a privacy-first place. Instead of sharing big communal pools, you soak in your room and, if you book it, in designated bathing spaces. That makes it a good fit if you want quiet, control over your soak, and fewer variables than a public pool. It also means you should plan ahead, day-use and special bathing areas are not guaranteed without an appointment.
Setting
You are in the historic hot-springs district of town, close to cafes and the river walk. It is more “old motor court turned soak retreat” than resort sprawl.
Location & Access
Where it is
Blackstone is in Truth or Consequences’ downtown hot-springs area, an easy drive from I-25 and walkable once you arrive. Because it is in town, access is straightforward, no rough roads, no hiking, and no high-clearance vehicle required.
Arrival and logistics
If you are staying overnight, your soak is built into the room setup. If you are visiting for day-use bathing, plan on booking in advance and arriving a little early to keep your schedule relaxed. Park where staff directs you and expect typical downtown conditions, limited space and occasional street activity.
What to bring
Bring sandals for wet surfaces and a lightweight cover-up for moving between spaces. Even when you are soaking privately, you will still step outside at times, and Truth or Consequences evenings can cool down quickly. If you have mobility needs, review room-specific notes before you book, since accessibility can vary by room.
Suitability & Accessibility
Best for
Blackstone works well for couples and solo travelers who want private soaking without sharing pools with strangers. It is also a smart pick if you like the idea of soaking late or early without building your day around public pool hours. The themed rooms are part of the charm, but the real value is privacy.
Not a great fit for
This is not a family property. Blackstone states no children under 12, so plan a different stop if you are traveling with kids. If you want a big social soaking scene, you will find that more easily at other properties in town.
Accessibility
Blackstone states it has an ADA room with wheelchair-accessible paths of travel within that room, plus an ADA-accessible lobby and lobby bathroom. It also notes that the Wet Room is partially accessible and that attendants may be available for assistance. If wheelchair access to a specific bath is essential, confirm the exact setup before arrival.
Safety & Etiquette
Private water, same basic risks
Private soaking still carries heat and slip risks. Keep sessions shorter at first, stand up slowly, and drink water between soaks. If you are combining soaking with a long drive or a hot day, dehydration can hit fast, especially in desert air.
Clean water habits
Rinse off before soaking when you can, and keep lotions and oils out of the bath water. Avoid submerging your head and avoid getting water up your nose, a conservative hot-springs habit that reduces unnecessary risk.
On-site etiquette
Because the property is small and quiet, sound carries. Keep conversations low outdoors, close gates gently, and respect posted rules on smoking and pets. If you are using day-use baths, show up on time and leave the space tidy, the next booking depends on it.
