I came to OR from TX just to experience a hot spring. Disappointment started when I called to make my res. I explained how excited I was to travel so far to go to there and she responded by saying absolutely NOTHING. It was a weird phone call and she was VERY rude. Never gave me the feeling that she cared at all that I was spending thousands of $$ to travel just to visit their resort. When I called after arriving in PDX to make sure my reservation was still in order, the guy took about 20 minutes to finally find my res. Yet another unnecessarily confusing and uncomfortable phone call. When I arrived, it was pretty.I wandered over to the hot springs only to find out there are not areas to change. You must disrobe in front of the swim-suitless people already there. Very uncomfortable unless you're a practicing nudist. Sorry,I guess I'm not European enough for this type of experience. Although the place says, ""clothing optional"", I'm telling you, be prepared for a nudist skin fest. Everyone is in the buff. Only in the bathing areas, but still. Wearing a bikini made me feel very uncomfortable and people acted like I was crazy for doing so.
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
