Frommer's Review

The hot mineral-water pools -- cooled before they are allowed to touch your skin -- can be enjoyed in an expansive swimming pool or in two soaker pools, surrounded by trees and a sublime mountain skyline with a view of Ashlar Ridge. Campgrounds and a cozy lodge with food and drink are nearby. But the hot springs are only one reason to make this enjoyable side trip: there are also the elk, deer, coyotes, and moose that populate the driving route to Miette, making it one of the best places in the park to view wildlife.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
