About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This Korean-style spa offers a variety of mineral and heat therapy rooms, including a hot sauna, steam rooms, a salt room, a charcoal room, a clay room, and a designated cool room. However, spa-goers frequently report that the core sauna and steam facilities are in poor condition. The main sauna is often noted as being out of service entirely. When operational, the sauna areas are described as having dirty floors with hair present, and the sauna beads are reported to emit a foul odor. The steam rooms are described by guests as awkwardly mild, and the showers are often cold. The overall cleanliness of the wet areas is a significant concern, with guests noting a pervasive funk.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere receives mixed feedback. The spa bills itself as a place for gay men, but many guests report that the staff's behavior can be gay-unfriendly and confrontational. The environment is described by some as cruisy and uncomfortable, with reports of being leered at or followed. Other guests note the venue can be a ghost town outside of the lunchtime rush, which runs from approximately 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
Pricing
The primary pricing model mentioned is a day pass, which guests consistently describe as overpriced. The current rate is noted as $40 per visit, which many spa-goers find excessive compared to other local venues. This pricing is cited as a primary reason for a decline in patronage, with regulars stating they will not return unless the price is lowered.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Some guests find the staff very helpful, while others describe them as unfriendly. Specific incidents are noted where management spoke to guests in a condescending manner. There are also comments from guests questioning the legal status of some staff members, which adds to a sense of unease for some visitors.
Additional Amenities
Amenities beyond the sauna rooms include a whirlpool spa or jacuzzi, though it is frequently reported that only one is operational. Other basic amenities like showers are also commonly noted as being out of order.
