I've been going to Carson off and on for more than 40 years. I've always enjoyed its funky…read moreatmosphere but particularly enjoy the mineral water soaks and swimming pool. I went with my daughter the other day and was saddened at how the newer management has let things down. The pro's: You can still get a soak and wrap in a private tub. You can still pay by the hour to use the pool. The lobby offers free tea, water, and coffee while you wait. Hotel room nightly rentals include unlimited use of the pool. Massages are available with advance booking. The resort has a restaurant up at the golf course. The con's: They have decided to do away with reservations and go by walk-in, first come first serve basis. The leads to a back-log, pile up situation. When you drive an hour or more to get there, the last thing you want is to discover you are going to have to wait a couple of hours and then have your reservation still be late by 20 minutes. The bath house staff are overwhelmed, probably due to understaffing. They kept us waiting for several minutes, after already being 20 minutes behind, while the one stressed out woman on duty raced around cleaning tubs, wrapping up folk who gad chosen the combo, re-filling tubs, handling laundry, checking people in. She then forgot me in my tub after my 25 minutes soak while she served others. After an hour and ten minutes I just climbed out. I never got my wrap. The massage technicians are varied in skill and approach. At my last massage, I ended up with a mediocre massage delivered by someone who seemed to have no more than a perfunctory knowledge of body mechanics and technique. At the price charged I expected more. The restaurant is pricey; also mediocre. You will do better at one of the few places in Carson--the cute coffee/sandwich joint with real food, or the brewpub. Or find the food cart at the end of town by the mill. The housekeepers do a good job on the rooms, which are very basic; overpriced for what they are. They discontinued "women identified only" hours at the pool, which were popular. I shared the pool with a group of Russian Old Believers once who are too modest for co-ed bathing. Its a big loss. --It doesn't make me happy to write this review. It makes me less happy to see how this once smooth running, accessible, local attraction has fallen into a sort of money making vacuum. Hopefully, its just a phase and they'll return to quality and service based values as once existed there.

This is my happy place, especially after a hike in the gorge. I like the mineral bath soaks with…read morethe sauna afterwards. I have tried the hotel. The pool is fine but can't compete with mineral baths in my opinion. It's definitely rustic but clean and charming.

I drove over three hours to get here and arrived at 1:30. I waited in the lobby without being acknowledged. I was the only one in there as the girl behind the desk stared at her computer. She finally acknowledged me; was rude and wouldn't even check to see if my room was ready. She repeated, rather annoyed, "Early check in starts at 2:00." I imagine it was the same girl who was very rude to me on the phone when I was trying to book a massage. I guess I should've listened to my gut at that time and stayed elsewhere. It's 2:00 and just now they are telling me they declined my payment for an early check-in and they will let me know when the room is ready, but I am sitting around waiting and I will never come back here again

Wish I would have read the reviews before booking an appointment. While my esthetician was…read morefantastic, this place should not be called a spa. After checking-in at the front desk, you are escorted to a locker room that has a hot tub and dry sauna (great from the description). Unfortunately there are also kids screaming in the locker room, no where to sit down and relax to change. The locker room actually brought me back to my high school PE locker room experiences (cramped and awkward). I was told clothing was optional in the locker room (hot tub and sauna) but there is a very large window that looks out at an amazing view (which I assume means people can also look in) I was then taken to a quiet room to do paper work. The room is very cramped and not relaxing. Two other people were waiting crowded on a small bench. I then was escorted back to the locker room for my treatment room. While the treatment itself was lovely - you could hear kids screaming in the pool over the soothing music the esthetician played. After the treatment, I wanted to just relax in the amazing feelings of having a great facial. There is NO WHERE to relax without kids. This is not a spa. It is a place to get services. And the prices they charge are ridiculous for this environment. My esthetician deserves a better environment to work in.

But Laurie's amazing! She was recommended to me by Michelle Graves (who is also amazing) when Michelle was on leave. I never thought about this until I read someone else's review but Laurie really is a wonderful listener with a calming presence. I've had a lot of stress in my life in the past from work and a car accident. Seeing Laurie improves my pain level and overall health. But I always leave Laurie's office much more relaxed and less stressed - I think in part it's her presence in addition to her skills as an acupuncturist. She takes care of muscle spasms, allerigies, insomnia, stress to just name a few. Like Teresa said, she will also offer suggestions for herbal remedies (even via email) and never pushes a sell which I've experienced before. I'm torn between Laurie and Michelle because both are the best. Bonus is Laurie has night hours.
