We have been visiting Hot Springs every summer for the past 6 years, but last year and this year the employees don’t keep their hot pool water to the temperature they say it is. It’s supposed to be 104 degrees or something like that, it was really like 80 degrees, it mild. It felt nasty not hot and tingley how it’s supposed to.
