All the saunas are closed by the board of health except for the Loess Sauna which is normally at 178 degrees but now is at 158 degrees and the Ice Sauna which was at 30 degrees. I decided to go downstairs to 'sauna valley'.

Lots of photos and videos being taken however, especially for those bachelorette party guests. The outdoor pools were packed: wall to wall people, no social distancing, no masks. I showered and headed upstairs to the outdoor pools. I entered and, to my surprise, saw several men, without masks, enjoying the supposedly closed baths. As I approached the shower area, there was a large sign on the entrance saying that the area is closed by the board of health but the showers are available. I prefer to take a shower first so I placed all my clothes in the locker and headed to the showers with my soap, shampoo, and towel. You have to bring your own towels, soap, shampoo, comb, brush, hair dryer, etc. Spa Castle isn't providing ANY amenities at this time. I went to my locker which wasn't particularly clean. No water is available either, which clearly is a money grabbing choice since the spa has water dispensing facilities that are touchless. The shoe lockers are closed off due to COVID restrictions. I entered the facility and was given a plastic bag for my shoes by the locker room attendant. Since I was already in their system, I gave them my phone and DOB. To their credit, unlike other spas, Spa Castle doesn't keep your ID while you are onsite. I checked in with my discount coupon and was asked for ID. Logically, that should have been the first step I would think. The self service check in kiosks weren't working so I had to wait until every member of the bachelorette party ahead of me got checked in, paid their admission fee, and then had their temperature taken.
