What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the facility are mixed, but predominantly negative. Positive aspects mentioned include generally good pool and sauna temperatures (though this is contradicted by other reviews), a decent day pass price, free day lockers, warm showers, device charging outlets, and free Wi-Fi, as well as a good vibe for some regulars. However, numerous complaints highlight a decline in the facility's quality and services. Key issues include inconsistent and often cold pool and hot tub temperatures, with staff unwilling to adjust them or activate features like the whirlpool due to unsupervised children. Cleanliness is a concern, and the sauna schedule is inconsistent. Recent regulations, such as a strict dress code for the sauna and a ban on squatting in socks, have frustrated users. Services have reportedly declined, with no towel service, no lock borrowing for day lockers (which are often taken), and the elimination of guest passes. The facility is often crowded, equipment space is too small, and there are frequent issues with screaming or unsupervised children in the pool area, sometimes leading to closures. Staff are criticized for being lazy, unhelpful (e.g., regarding parking information), and for allowing activities like TikTok recording that contribute to overcrowding.
