We stayed 3 nights at this resort for our first visit to Harrison Hot Springs. It was supposed to be a relaxing trip, but unfortunately, the resort didn’t meet expectations.
The building is very dated. As a hot springs resort, the setup is not ideal—rooms have carpeted floors, and the bathrooms lack fans. Steam from showers and wet swimsuits lingers, making the room feel constantly damp and musty. Swimsuits don’t dry properly, and over time, it becomes unpleasant. There's also no soundproofing; we could hear neighbors talking, snoring, and walking around. The squeaky floorboards made it awkward to move without disturbing others.
Value for money was disappointing. We booked via Expedia without breakfast included, thinking we might try local spots. But we gave the breakfast buffet a try—it was CAD 33 per person for a very basic selection, not worth the price. It left us skeptical about trying The Copper Room, even though we had considered it for a birthday dinner.
Amenities were also lacking. Slippers would’ve been appreciated, especially given how worn the carpet looked. A kettle in the room would be nice too—some guests prefer tea or hot drinks at night. Also, the wristband system for hot springs felt unnecessary; key card access is already required, and wearing a wet band for days was annoying.
The town is beautiful, but I wouldn’t return to this resort unless it’s renovated.
