I recently had the same experience at a different float place in Seattle that I don't normally go to.
I went as this place had huge tubs -- about 6 ft by 8 ft. Also the ceiling was at least 6 foot so people could stand in there. It felt good to not touch the sides like I do occasionally st the other place.
However with a really tall ceiling it was hard to maintain the correct temperature and humidity. Salt began to crystallize on my body and the air temp was noticeably cooler than the water. So the effect was off. I bet this was the same place in Seattle that the author went to.
I mentioned this to the people running the place and they said it is a problem of humidity and they are installing infra red lamps to control it. I'm a little suspicious that this will fix it.
So for now I'll continue to go to the original place. The vats are more like tombs; you can barely sit up in them. But they are warm enough it is hard to tell what is in water and air.
