Always fun, always a good time. The dry sauna was at a fantastic temperature the last time I went, and as well the Jacuzzi. Staff is friendly, lots of free parking on side streets, and plenty of good company whenever visiting.

First time here, was extremely nervous, and within the first 10 minutes of being in the sauna, an older gentleman was getting very pokey with his toe and didn't understand moving away was an attempt to get him to stop, and he poked harder and harder as I ignored him until I just left the hot tub. I don't think there's a single guy around my age, 23, tonight. Seems like an older crowd in general. $46 to get in and get a locker. That spa felt awesome though, I enjoyed that enough to get in once that one dude left. Not for me, but I'm certain people will enjoy this place and find it appealing Oh! Also the staff was very nice for my first time here or at any place like this, I appreciate that a lot. I probably would have had a better experience bringing a friend Edit/Response: I'm not a local, I live 2 hours away, and nearly $50 to chill in a hot tub again isn't much worth it to me, as I don't think there are ever many people my age to chat with while relaxing. Was only in town yesterday and today for an event. Honestly, I do enjoy what you're trying to do and it may be worth coming here again in the future if my schedule lines up with one of those events you had earlier in the year aimed at 20-somethings, so I don't feel so out of place.

I called to get some information and the person who answered the phone was rude and abrupt with me on the phone. Thank you for saving me the drive to check out the place. Rude on the phone equates to rude in person. No thank you! Update: I called last night (Saturday) at 8ish to inquire about the event. The person on the phone was extremely rude.
