Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa: Harrison Hot Springs

Overview:
The contemporary guest rooms at Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa are equipped with cable TV and pay-per-view movie channels. A refrigerator and coffee maker are provided.

This resort boasts an indoor mineral pool and a large spa bath with a 30-foot high pavilion. There are 3 outdoor pools, one of which is a 1,000 square feet adults-only mineral pool.

The historic and upscale Copper Room features local cuisine and live music. The Harrison Hot Springs Resort is also home to the Islands Bar, offering cocktails and views of Harrison Lake from the patio.

Thoughts:
Amazing amenities and a beautiful resort. The resort is broken up into 3 distinct parts, the original area, the newer poolside area, and the new tower rooms.  The original side is their heritage area and is definitely classic, if possible try not to get a room in this part of the hotel as the walls are thin and the floors offer nothing in terms of dampening those above you.

Although the pools are amazing and the hotel is immaculate, it definitely comes at a cost, even if you manage to get a decent price for a room, try to make sure the breakfast is included or else you will be paying $18 per plate for a breakfast buffet. This could be avoided in the summer season by eating at one of the other restaurants but during the off season you may be hard pressed to find something open.

Pros:
Amazing facilities and very relaxing atmosphere in a wonderful setting.

Cons:
Very expensive and seemed to be charged for all the extras.
