    Best Men's Resort in Palm Springs

    In the Palm Springs area this is my favorite Men's resort. It's a clean, well kept property that has many themed rooms. Many different pools and Jacuzzis means you can always find the perfect spot to relax. Fun atmosphere and nice staff.

    The BEST bathhouse in the U.S.

    I'm from so cal but I've been coming to Steamworks for a few years now and it's the best bathhouse I've ever been to. Expansive, clean, and ALL types of guys can be found here. There's Reviewer HappyD - 39/M Not you? Sign in as a different reviewer something for everyone. I just went on the Sat before Folsom St Fair and it was off the hook. Waited four hours for a room, this place was the most packed I've ever seen, at least 200 people. 1 - 2 hour wait on weekends is normal for a room, but it was never like this. The Eucalyptus steamroom is the best around, although small. The play areas and sexual energy here are great. All kinds of northern CA boys come to this place and it's the only bathhouse around except for the Watergarden in San Jose. Not cheap, but you definetly get what you pay for. Expect to pay at least $30 for a basic room, $17 for a locker. Many large and speciality rooms that are equipped with slings can be had for a higher price. Best nights are Fri and Sat and Thurs night Blackout night

    Great Location

    This hotel isn't like the other boutique hotels or chains listed here so far. This hotel is fairly basic but has what you need, including free internet. The best part is the location, it's right off of Folsom street in the heart of SOMA. If you're going for the fairs or just a weekend to hang out in San Fran, this hotel is center to everything. They do have offsite parking, but i've found myself many times just parking my car in the remote lot and walking where I need to go or using BART. I've often gotten rooms for less than $100 and it makes it worth it! No air conditioning in rooms.

    Love this hotel!

    I was this hotel listed and nobody's reviewed it!! This hotel is in downtown next to the Powell street cable car stop. I like this hotel because it's in a well preserved building from the turn of the century with all of it's old world charm in tact. The hotel is well kept and modern but hasn't been overdone like chain hotels. It's in the heart of downtown so plenty to do, although not that close to the gay bars :(

    Good Location

    As the last reviewer said, the best thing about this hotel is the location. I've never eaten there (usually avoid hotel food) but it's right at Market and 8th, there's a BART station on the corners and it's within walking distance of the SOMA bars. If you're driving into town parking can be expensive ($30 a dar). Not a lot to eat around the area late at night, so plan accordingly!

    Better!

    Hawk's is smaller than Entourage but set up better for playing. There's rooms, a small steam room and a back dungeon area with different equipment. It's busy on the weekends with a dark room that gets pretty seedy, but sometimes so is the clientele.


    Just Ok

    For Vegas, I seem to expect more. For a city that prides itself on sin, the gay environment is sorely lacking. This place is pretty big and plenty of rooms, but I've only seen it full 2 times in the 10 + times I've been there, and that was when it was the Apollo. They've remodeled some since it changed over to Entourage from Apollo, but i don't think the changes were for the better. They gutted the steamroom to make it just one big room that is too brightly lit, not hot enough and too many standing puddles. The old one was better, hotter (with steam!) and had many cubbies where people could play. The new maze (which is a converted row or rooms) is too narrow to truly enjoy with a maze at the end.

    Great New Orleans charm

    When I travel to places I usually stay in chain hotels because they are consistent. However, New Orleans begs visitors to check out the charming characteristics of the French Quarter buildings. This is a great local hotel that hasn't been spoiled by how hotel chains seem to mechanize everything. Great charm, laid back atmosphere and within easy walking distance to all of the French Quarter

    Not Bad, watch the rent boys tho

    Not and the Waterloo station chariots is built under the tunnel for the tracks. Makes for some interesting rooms :).

    Go for the events!

    This resort is very large and has many trails and places to play. That's the best part about it and why many people go, so expect a 'playful' environment, especially at night. I tend to go for the big weekends like Memorial and Labor day which brings in a crowd. The rooms are only so-so and could use some updating, better beds and douche valves on the shower heads would be great! The property is in fair condition but there are quieter, nicer places in PS. This place is for playing.

    Good Fun

    I've been to this bathhouse a couple of times and it always had a good mix of people. It was slower on the weeknight that I went but the Sat night was pretty busy. Two floors, nice steamroom and packed hallways make this place fun.

    The Best of Weho's Bars

    I've always seemed to have a good time and meet someone new when I come here. Been coming to weho for years and of all the bars this has the least amount of tude.

    Could be better!

    I agree with the last reviewer, there's not much going on in the steamrr/sauna. The staff is rude and it was expected that you tip the guy that shows you to your room. How could NY not have better bathhouses??

    Steamworks is the best bathhouse chain in USA

    This is my second favorite bathhouse in the US, right behind the Steamworks in Berkeley. This place is located right in the heart of the gay area of Chicago (Boy's Town) so right after the bars close it can get packed, 3 floors plus play area and suck pit that's on video on a closed channel on the room tv's! Best streamroom I've ever seen and a chest high jacuzzi with perfect nooks to play in :).

    If in the south bay, this is it!

    A smaller version of the midtown in downtown LA, this one is busiet on it's half price day (wed). Weekend nights tend to be slow but that can vary as with any place. Mostly Latino and Asian.

    The better of LA Bathhouses

    This place is best on it's half price days which are Tuesdays. It's crowded, sexually charged and surprisingly social for an LA crowd. Lots of talking and walking up and down the hallways. Predominately Latino and black. Secured parking, in obscure area of downtown.

    Sex!

    The best thing about this place is that people don't stand around and model. There's no time wasting around here. If they're not interested they'll tell you and if they are you'll know it soon enough. The back dark room is where most of the action happens.
