Checked 14 Oct · updated daily
A 2024 article describes the hotel's grand reopening on April 23, 2024, under new owners. Hotspringers.net, last updated September 2024, said it was closed. That is out of date, because 2026 sources show it operating with day passes.
Pool temperatures are up to about 102F, so limit your soak time. The water has a sulfur smell.
