Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa offers a traditional Korean day spa experience centered around multiple dry sauna rooms and an ice room for contrast therapy. Spa-goers find four distinct, quite small dry sauna rooms on the second floor, including mineral and salt varieties, which provide a very dry heat reminiscent of Seoul. The hot sauna rooms are a noted highlight. The spa provides an ice room, which guests describe as cool but not intensely cold. The pools in the locker room area include hot, very hot, and room temperature options, though some guests feel they need an upgrade and note the bubbles were not working in the hot tub. The sauna facilities are generally found to be clean and well-maintained.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is typically calm and relaxing, offering a peaceful and quiet environment where guests can read or rest in reclining chairs. It is considered a local, low-key spa rather than an upscale venue. Some guests note disruptions from children running around in the saunas and from TV screens broadcasting news. A point of concern for some is sauna etiquette, with instances of guests wearing wet clothing inside, which others find unhygienic and uncomfortable.
Pricing
The entrance fee is $35-$40 per person for a day pass, which many guests find good value for the amenities provided. The pricing receives mixed feedback, with some considering it reasonable and others rating it average.
Staff
The staff are described as very polite and talented, particularly those providing body scrubs and massages.
Additional Amenities
The spa provides a uniform consisting of a shirt and shorts, with pink for women and blue for men. Towels are also provided. A food court serves Korean food on-site, though the quality receives highly mixed reviews; a complementary seaweed soup and rice are offered with some meals. The venue features free parking and is attached to a Korean barbecue restaurant and is near a karaoke place, allowing for a full day of activities.
