Unfair and surprisingly bad condition, even after refurbishment

First of all I had to pay already the higher rate. Generall they ask in January 2015, R 120 for arrival Friday 12-6 pm . I arrived at 5 pm but had to pay already R 150, because it is "weekend". That's unfair rib of two people, asking R 60 too much for 2 guests. Beside this they advertised, they renovated and everything is up to date and new. That is defiantly a lie. In some parts there is a new vinyl floor in and they painted the walls green and blue. The most part of the premise is still old, dirty and disgusting. Only if you don't care about style, cleaness and rib of the cashier, you can go there to meet 95 % of 60 years and older fat guys. I will never go there again. Thank goodness I met a young (and only) friend, where I had sex with. So at least I got happy. But the dirty, dangerous premise disappointed me.

Boring and dirty

I was excited to come here but it was not as good as the reviews. It was really dirty - mildew and standing water pretty much everywhere. I paid for a TV room and the sheets were stained and the floor was covered in lube - and that was the room I changed to because the previous room was worse. All of this could have been forgiven if there was some hot action but it was just kind of, "meh". Most of the guys seemed to know each other and it almost seemed like the club pays them to walk around with boners but not hook up. I was watching older guys get teased for hours. Go here because there really aren't any other options - but know that it is not great.

good fun

Would be 5 star if they would do a better job cleaning it. Mildew and some seriously smelly rooms. No fun to step in lube all night.
