There are only a handful of rooms and 3 tubs to choose from.

So you have your pick.

It's possible to get a really bad sunburn here as I discovered last year.

For campers, there are 12 campsites, each one with its own hot tub.

Looks awesome. i've actually been watching videos about Hot Springs, AR . I don't see any outdoor springs though, everything looks like these ancient bath houses. We went there when i was little but i didn't get involved with the springs. we went to see if it helped dads arthritis.

i'd never do a spring 'house' though. i like what you've got there.

This one is pretty remote. It has a 900 gallon per minute water source at 140F. Each tub has a hose with a valve and an overflow. The heat is controlled by how far you open the valve.

There isn't much cold water here. There are holding tanks to let the water cool, but it's easily warmed by use.
In the inn, the toilets 'steam' you.

Tubs drained daily. No chlorine. No sulfur.
Measured the dissolved solids at 165ppm, which is half the value of our hard city water.
The mineral is mostly sodium bicarbonate. Hardly any calcium or magnesium. Very very soft water.

It's a permanent source of water in the desert, so it's got some bugs lol.
