Good to know. Most tubs are up stairs; ask for the ground-level accessible tub if needed.

In any natural hot spring, keep your head above the water. Health officials advise it because of a rare amoeba that can enter through the nose.

Good for: first-timers, quiet soaking. Something out of date? Let us know and we’ll check it.
