A pretty nice experience. The staff might a little bit cold but that's not a deal breaker for me. The sauna room both dry and wet is decent, though I wish they can get a traditional one with hot stone, herb and water that people can add once in a while. The play room is fine, nothing stellar But I got to meet a lot of interesting people to say the least, very enjoyable Update: Facility: it's still ok as usual, it's a little bit weird that both of the wet and dry sauna broke down during pride, hope they fix it soon. I also wish they add more seats and equipments in the play room Employees: some of them are really nice and i think one guy in there like me, or maybe he extra flirty, idk People: it can be hit or miss, that's the nature of the club. Some night you can hit a jackpot with all sorts of interesting people, some are just unlucky and you just go home empty handed. I'm not mad about that
Cameron is soooo welcoming and amazing and everytime I come I’m very very happy that he’s here. He makes this place such a welcoming place and make me feel at ease.
Next time I'll be good
I visited a gay sauna called Crew Club in Washington, DC. As far as I know, it’s the only sauna of its kind in the city. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The place lacked any real sauna atmosphere. It was actually very cold inside, which is completely the opposite of what you would expect. People were walking around in regular clothes instead of towels because of how cold it was. The only thing warm in the entire place was the water coming from the taps. For a city like Washington, DC, it’s honestly quite embarrassing that a venue like this operates at such a low standard. I’ve visited many gay saunas around the world — in Thailand, Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Brussels, Paris, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, the Netherlands, and more — and I have never seen such illogical rules as in Crew Club. One of the most unnecessary aspects is that they charge an additional membership fee. The only positive thing I can mention is that the staff were kind and friendly. Overall, this is definitely not a place to spend your time, and I would not recommend it at all. In Washington, DC, going to bars makes much more sense. A better option would be renting a nice hotel room and meeting people at bars, then inviting them there. Also, as mentioned, the entire place is cold, and alcohol is strictly prohibited. You cannot bring drinks from outside either, as bags are checked at the entrance
