Customer Reviews
This was a nice treat. I used the sauna, hot tub and cold tub. I found the staff helpful and really respectful. Everything was clean and easy to navigate I stayed for a couple hours just switching between the hot tub and sauna. There are two large sauna. One for guys and the other for gals. Both are in private bathroom setting. The hot/cold tubs were mixed guys and girls. The tubs are also supposed to be a quiet area but some people struggle to allow peace and or quiet. So maybe not great for date night unless you are comfortable in silence together. ...ideally. I really enjoyed my visit and will return. Its probably something I could see doing once a month.
Absolutely love Washington baths! We went on a Friday which was their no talking day. Fabulous fantastic idea. I've been to many sauna houses and the conversations can get loud and disruptive. We had an EXCELLENT experience with the staff, all super friendly. The design of this place is spot on. Love that the cold plunge and hot tub are outside. I'm heading back today, since we are only in town for another day.
It’s a great spot to enjoy a sauna, cold plunge, and hot pool. There’s also a relaxing lounge area where you can grab some food and unwind. The saunas are excellent, it wasn’t too crowded, and the staff were kind and helpful, providing all the necessary information.
Beautiful, clean facility. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Love the unlimited time for each visit. A lovely place to sauna, relax, read. Wish they offered more gender queer/neutral days as the saunas are gender-separated. Feel like this cuts down on community time as the courtyard is meant to be quiet (unlike others, I like this a lot - but I do want to enjoy the social aspect as well as the contemplative).
Nice, clean facility and currently the only option in town. However, it would greatly benefit from a reservation or booking system. Wait times during peak hours vary widely, and the estimates from staff are often inaccurate, which makes planning difficult. A simple improvement to their existing “waitlist” process could make a huge difference and significantly improve the overall experience.
