Part of a complex that includes a spa and a casino across the street, this hotel, owned and operated by the Agua Caliente, is adjacent to a mineral-water spring used by generations of Native Americans. (The spa uses the healing mineral waters in treatments that draw locals on a regular basis.) Public areas and rooms are simply decorated in soothing desert colors—aqua, coral, and sand. The hotel attracts a mature crowd, many of whom enjoy sunning around the expansive pool or indulging in basic spa treatments. Pros: Value, natural hot springs spa, slots 24/7. Cons: Basic rooms, lots of group tours, popular with the Centrum set.
