Like the place less and less
Usually have a average time when I go there but today was a all time low. Felt the staff were more into themselves than attending the desk or club upkeep and the clients there were less than friendly. Took a risk on a Sunday and got a clear message it was not the place to be.
Awesome!
Any bad reviews are just the experience of that man. This place is amazing and I didn't want to leave. The sexual energy is amazing and I would call it a spiritual awakening! Comfy and a bunch of nice guys! LoveUGodBless, T and J kabbalah matthewshepard madonnalicious
love it
Great place
not bad
This was my first time to a bathhouse, though now I've been to several others living on the coast had it's limitation for a late in life coming outer(at the time, 51). A friend suggested Steam for some fun. I found the place clean, the staff cold but not rude, didn't really feel welcome, but then I didn't care either. The customers varied in age a lot from some guy who looked too young to have a driver's license to some guys who were well into their years. All of the customers seemed friendly. the place was laid back, shower room clean with hand helds which was nice. The hot tub was warm and the video screen was big. I hooked up with a guy and had a lot of fun with him. It was a Monday afternoon so there wasn't a lot of guys there. It was an okay place for my first BH experience.
Needs competition
I also showed up one night not knowing it was "Freshman Night" and was turned away. I decided to go on the website and I wrote a very respectful email indicating that i had been coming to Steam for years and suggested that this notion of having special nights just for a certain group of customers was not a great idea, normally gay clubs try to attract a diverse crowd. There are other venues in the country that have special nights where they offer discounts for younger guys (there is even one in Vegas that offers free admission to guys 18-25 on Monday nights, they bring in a DJ and the place is hopping with a huge crowd of all ages becasue they welcome everybody). Anyway, my email offering the feedback of a long time customers was responded to by an angry rant from the manager. He basically accused me of being a troll "who can't take no for an answer" and said I just "feel sorry for myself". NONE of this crap is true and I was just offering my suggestions and i was so pissed at this unecessary rant that I've never been back. Whether you are under 29 or over, my advice is avoid this place. This place has no sexual energy, the management plays awful "new age" music that puts you to sleep, and the big flat screen TV in the locker room is tuned to Logo, so "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is usually playing as gay men undress together..,yeah, thats hot. If you make any suggestions, instead of thankiing you for your input, they insult you. If no one goes, eventually someone that is responsive to the community will open competition. I'll wait until then!
