Fading Star with Ridiculous Rules...
I've been to bath houses all over the eastern U.S. This one is a moderate size and has a great indoor pool (thus can be used regardless of weather). Hot tub is somewhat small, but hot and functional as is the steam room. Wet area was fairly clean...all good points I found. HOWEVER. .. The no-nudity rules in common, "public" areas is absolutely absurd! They only permit nudity in the wet area and on the sun deck. You must wear something in the club hallways, locker area, etc. So...you check in, remove your clothes and wrap a towel around your waist to walk to sun deck. Take off the towel and get some sun. Put the towel on to walk back inside and go down to the pool. Take off the towel to swim, steam, hot tub. Put it back on to leave wet area. Ridiculous! Why? The crowd is mixed ages and types...a fair mix of guys on a weekday afternoon, which was surprising and nice. Rooms are very minimalist, but whole place is fairly clean and comfortable. Obviously an older building and facilities, several closed areas, raggedy carpets, chipped paint, poor lighting, etc. This can be interpreted as character though. For the cost (inexpensive compared to other places), this place is o.k. Annoying rules though and no place to just sit nude and relax or socialize except the sun deck...that's that ought when it's raining and the indoor pool draws you in, but then is the only place to be nude! I wouldn't do much to renovate the place, it's kitschy and pleasingly old-school (just continue to keep it clean), but everyone can see naked bodies in certain areas, why require cover-up in other areas?
middle of a weekday provided just what I needed!
I was visiting from up North this past summer and got there in the middle of a weekday and was surprised by the fun I was able to have. Although the rules might seem stiff, the staff was cool and I was able to get the attention I needed in the pool, the steamroom and a little corner upstairs. I found loads of fun. :)
Locker room in a gym experience
This bath house looked like it would have been awesome in its hey day in the 80s. That's the cool part is if you'd like to see how a top cheesy sex club bath probably looked like. When it opened this place was awesome and was a resort quality. They are doing a 75% good job at keeping up the place. Even though it says the replaced the carpets, they are dirty and need to be replaced again. The pool, steam room, sauna, and showers were all in one main area and I could see where this could be a fun area when it's filled with bodies. Steam room worked super well, but had weird markings on the ceiling. Upstairs is a bunch of rooms, there is no maze. No place to take your dude to have fun with. The gym is low on equipment. The staff was super friendly. When I was there also was only a few young dudes but NO old dudes. That was a cool surprise. My review is 50/50... Not much to do except swim or steam... Place was trying to stay clean, but did not look professionally clean... If you want to hook up you HAVE to get a room. This place definitely is a spa where you meet guys to TALK with and get their number Later. Think of it as the locker room in a gym experience.
Old and Moldy
This is a very dirty, moldy but reputable bath house. No sexual behavior allowed in common areas, no smoking except on the sun deck and no nudity in common areas. The old gymnasium needs cleaning and updated. The men were of different ages equally divided between 20's, 30's and older. The service at front door was deceit and the people were very friendly.This is my last visit. (updated from last year.)
