Spa Riverside provides a traditional Korean spa experience with multiple sauna and hydrotherapy options for contrast therapy. The facility features a dry sauna, a steam sauna, a hot tub with jets, and a cold plunge tub. Guests note the dry sauna offers ample seating space and a comfortable environment, while the steam sauna is noted for its intense brightness, which some find too strong for relaxation. The hot tub and cold plunge are described as being suitable for a small group, facilitating a heat-and-cold recovery cycle. The overall sauna and plunge facilities are frequently described as clean, though some guests mention the floors can be slippery when wet. Beyond the thermal amenities, the spa is recognized for its affordable and thorough Korean body scrubs and massages, with specific therapists like Hanna, Kim, and Sunny receiving high praise. The venue offers an intimate, organized atmosphere that many guests find welcoming. The locker room includes filtered water and chairs, and there is a separate quiet room with recliners. Some areas, like the locker room floor, are noted as worn and in need of attention. The spa provides robes, towels, and lockers for guests. Management has made updates, such as removing glass from the dry sauna for a more open feel, though feedback on staff attentiveness and atmosphere varies among guests.
