1st - The excessive and overly bright LED floodlights surrounding the hot springs make it unbearable for us to use in the evenings. My husband has migraine headaches triggered by lights, and especially LED lights. I asked if they could turn the lights off, since it was barely even dusk and not at all dark, no more dark out than an overcast day, and they said no, they would not turn off the lights.
This really wrecks our ability to enjoy the hot springs. Even with a hat on, the lights are still very damaging to my husband's vision.
2nd - They only make the last session one hour. The staff complains that they work a long shift, and the extra 30 minutes to make the last session a full 90 minutes would really impact their day. This is terrible! Also, which for 20$ already feels like a rip-off compared to the pre covid pricing.
We travel a long way to get there, and we have some health challenges that the hot springs could help with. So, while we drive over 6 hours to get there, and get one chance a year to visit the hot springs for only a few days, and the staff can't put in the effort to make the last session a full 90 minutes and cuts it short to 60 minutes.
3rd - Would it be possible for them to put up some sun umbrellas around the pools? The only time of day it isn't sunny and hot on the pool deck is the very 1st or last session of the day, and we already discussed how the last session is cut short by 30 minutes.
And they don't have one single sun umbrella to provide shade while sitting in the pools. This is outrageous and terrible guest service.
This is the only natural hot springs in the state with camping and bathroom facilities available, it is a shame the property management company can't make it a little more user friendly and enjoyable, since many of the guests are visiting due to serious health concerns and may be in a compromised state of health
