"Located within walking distance from the artistic town of Truth or Consequences, Riverbend Hot Springs Hostel should truly not be missed for its location, atmosphere, open air hot springs, and the kind of people it attracts. The place is run by very friendly, pleasant staff and the owner who also lives in the property. They are constantly interacting with the guests. There is also a place for solitude there, but that place is secret and has to be looked for. The hostel is located on the...

You have to be careful in all of New Mexico because it is so old and truly full of beings of enchantment, and full of a lot of old pain and suffering. If you are not strong spiritually, you can come to great harm. Yet if you are strong and full of conviction and compassion, many visions are possible. Truth or Consequences is one of those spiritually volatile places that is like a vortex of hidden and powerful energies. When water comes from deep in the earth, there is surely an unforgettable experience to be had if one drinks and bathes in it.

It's too bad that people become confused and walk backwards into this quaint, walkable, small art town that time forgot. They must be expecting to find consequences, because this town is still forever friendly and calm, and the dark hole is not in the town but in some visitors' baggage. If you don't want to experience the beautiful blue skies, river, and healing hot springs that are extremely rare in America, I agree -- you should skip it.

Truth or Consequences, in one word, backwards. I was so excited at first to get to the river in the middle of the high desert. It is truly stunning but once we got into the town is when things started to sour. We thought it was just the staff at the hostel where we stayed who were unwelcoming but no, it was the whole town. There are so many wonderful places in New Mexico -- White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, Gila (possibly one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had was in Gila). There is so much to see and do in New Mexico. My recommendation, skip T or C altogether, it's a dark hole that stains this beautiful state.
