Elliott Bay Sauna & Hot Tub Co provides a wellness experience centered around private, cedar-lined dry saunas and hot tubs. Spa-goers consistently highlight the distinctive, healing aroma of the cedar wood within the private sauna rooms, which are designed with lavish redwood and cedar. The sauna and hot tub combination serves as a core offering for heat therapy, relaxation, and recovery. Guests note the facilities are always exceptionally clean, and the hot tubs feature powerful jets. A common request from spa-goers is for the addition of a cold plunge to complement the heat experience, which is not currently available.
Atmosphere
The venue offers private, soundproof suites that are described as intimate and super private. Each room contains a cedar-lined sauna, a hot tub, a shower, a bed, and amenities like a stereo, television, and customizable lighting. The overall decor is noted as basic and could use updating, but the rooms are spacious and inviting. The environment is quiet and secure, providing a dedicated space for reset and self-care, particularly valued by those dealing with chronic pain or insomnia.
Pricing
Guests appreciate the good prices and fair value for the accommodations and service provided. The spa operates on an hourly rental rate for its private rooms, which visitors find reasonable. A point of criticism is the lack of a pre-booking or online reservation system; the spa does not allow reservations, which can lead to wait times or unavailable rooms during busy periods, especially in colder months.
Staff
The staff is consistently described as very friendly, pleasant, and always welcoming. The owner, Jeff, is mentioned by name as running a wonderful company. Their service contributes to a positive and easy-to-use experience for guests.
Location & Expansion
Located in Federal Way, Washington, the venue is considered a gem in the area. The parking lot is noted as being tight. Some guests express a desire for more locations like this across the country, but it remains a single, unique spot.
