Mans Country is a tired and frayed old girl, but when it happens it is a hell of a party. Steamworks is the nicer newer all features work facility--BUT- with that comes attitude and a touch of greed. If you happen to be there for the 1st time, learn from my experience- they do not announce your room about to expire- it is on a TV monitor , so if you happen to be there and it is slow, and you lay down , set a couple of alarm clocks. If not, they will charge you overtime fines- in my case, I arrived on a Friday for a long weekend. When I checked in a nice enough guy registered me and checked me in- I got a sling room ( poorly laid out, but thats another issue) and after getting lost, had a cleaner show me the way to the room. Unpacked, stripped and went hunting. The place was sparse and I got a general bearing of the place. Around 4p there was a small bubble of activity, then it died off around 6 p. I went to the room and finally after 20 minutes and no one walking past, shut the door and laid down. I woke and it was about 9p, went out to piss, and saw my room on the TV saying I was 6 minutes overdue. I went right to the counter, explained I had been sleeping and would be out in a few minutes- I needed to shower off. The new guy at the counter looked at my room, and blandly said- You are overdue! I raced off, pissed, showered, repacked and brought the sheet, towel and pillowcase to the counter. A new guy ( a prissy twink queen) checked me out, and said I owed 21.50 in late fees - the fukkin room was only 30 or 35 dollars for 8 hrs when I checked in! I hit the roof- and asked for the manager- prissy would not cede, and announced I could either pay the fee then and there, or I would be paying it before being let in the next time (BINGO!) I took the card and my ID, and split. After that, I was not going back, and ended up getting the sling room at the Ashland Arms ( next door to JackHammer BAr) The next day i did do Man Country, and told the clerk of my experience- and he was not surprised at all- said that they were out for the gay dollars, not customer service.
I emailed SteamWorks on their web page contact form, and heard nothing back. After 3 weeks I WROTE ( yeah, the old fashioned way) to the General Manager to explain and maybe let him know of the attitude and issue with late check out-- NEVER heard a word back at all.
