Cold Plunge & Sauna
The River Street Club offers traditional heat therapy amenities including a dry sauna, a steam room, and a whirlpool. Spa-goers note the dry sauna and steam room are often well-maintained and spotlessly clean. However, experiences with these core amenities vary significantly. Some guests report the sauna is tiny with limited capacity, barely fitting four people, while others find it in good condition. The steam room and whirlpool are frequently cited as being out of order or in disrepair, with some guests finding the hot tub water to be dirty and murky. There is no mention of a dedicated cold plunge pool or specific contrast therapy protocols.
