Definitely An Experience You Do Not Want To Miss

The facilities are very impressive. The entire complex is an immense labyrinth the goes on and on. The outdoor pool is heated, the roof top beach has a nice skyline view of Cleveland, and all the inside facilities feel clean, not spotless but definitely very clean. The attached gym has a great selection of current equipment in good working condition. I did not have a drink at the bar but it looked okay though the bartender was not friendly. The pricing is very reasonable for what you get. My one day membership and standard room was $32.00 all together. I did not see any of the hotel parts but heard good things about them from a regular. The indoor attractions such as the pools, saunas, lounges and movie room well exceeded my expectations. The dungeons and glory hole areas were nice but more standard fair. The steam room was huge and had a primal cave man design, which i liked. However the steam room did have puddles. The standard rooms on the second floor were good, but they did not have lockers in them you instead use a locker at the front desk. The also had a large wooden bench with a pillow and sheets but not a mattress or cushion. The first floor upgraded rooms had nice beds with real sheets and duvets with a bedside stand and chair. There was plenty of room for 4-6 people if you do not mind being close. The crowd was the typical for most bathhouses that I have been to: about 10% of the guys were college age, 25% were very attractive, 40% were good looking or better and the remaining 60% were older, not in shape and less than okay looking. I had a pushiness/trailing problem with a very small portion of the older guys (2 in my case), which has never happened to me before before at other bathhouses, as soon as I was vocally loud about it in a crowded area it stopped though. A couple local regulars I talked to said Saturday nights and the Monday specials are the busiest times. I was there on a Friday night and there were probably 60-75 guys there. The location is 2600 Hamilton Ave, Yelp had another address listed that I went to first. It is in a sketchy part of the city so walk swiftly. The path was mainly just abandoned roads when I was walking there at 11:00pm. Note that you must go through the parking lot entrance to get to the entrance to the spa I walked around the building for a while trying to figure out how to get in worried that it was closed. The staff, aside from the cleaning staff who were very congenial, were not rude but they were not polite either. They were just monotonous and not well trained. No greetings when I came in or left for the night and the minor difference between not asking รข

Disappointment

Stopped by Flex twice (Friday and Saturday evening) this week. Could not believe the lack of people in there! The parking lot was full, so I thought it would be packed. Turns out people park there and walk to the bar next door. The people that work at the front desk are RUDE, full of attitude and truly seem bothered to have to take your $40. I rented a quiet room on Friday and enjoyed its size and comfortable bed. Saturday I opted for the same type of room. This time I got a room without heat (had a space heater on the table), one used rubber under the pillow and one on the floor. Does anyone clean here? The hot tub was nice and hot, just one problem... The water jets didn't work. Steam room lacked steam but had plenty of standing water on the floor. Sling room reeked of piss, no mattresses on the bunks in there, either. C'mon, who wants to get fucked on a piece of plywood. Being that it was so dead I attempted to use the wifi to try to locate some action on my ipad elsewhere in town... The "free wifi" didn't work. Went downstairs to the computer area only to find out the internet had been disconnected. This place is an absolute dump. I would hate to see it close and leave Cleveland without a bathhouse but if things stay the way they are I see no other option for the place.

Great Time and Good Money

I've been there last saturday with a friend, and unlike the previous reviews, we had a great time. The space is awesome, great jacuzzi and steam room. The gym is wonderful, and it is full of hot muscular and horny guys with no attitude over 40, very sensual, they were working out in the gym, would come and check you out once in a while, tease you and eventually undress and get ready for some hot action. Much, much better than Club Pitt in Pittsburgh and I will definitely return.

Freaks and more!!!

Was just here on a Saturday night. Members were scant and but there were some notable "freaks" with long gray hair and long gray beards. After walking around for 5 hours, I couldn't stand the boredom any longer. It's too bad this place seems destined to close, especially since the nicer, newer "Club" has already been shuttered.
