Spa Castle Queens NYC
They ask for vaccination. Even though it's the same price as it was pre pandemic, they don't offer razors, toothbrushes, uniforms, or towels. They only recently put soap back into the shower. They claimed covid brought all these changes but it was probably to simply cut costs. How don't know how you removing soap from a shower area will keep you safer from covid. With no children present, it's become even crusier than usual.
You don't need a mask in the naked area but it's random if everything will be working when you get there. I've been several times. Sometimes the sauna isn't working. One time, all of the pools were the same cool temperature. You take your chances.
As of April 25, "Closed until further notice." The condition of their facilities finally deteriorated to the point that the NYC buildings dept. stepped in. Hopefully they will get their act together and reopen. Such a great place when done right.
I was in College Point yesterday, so I drove past Spa Castle to see if I could report anything to this thread. On the front door there are Building Permits issued this week from New York City. A couple of the building permits had to do with moving, or removing, gas operated cooking equipment. Another permit had something to do with a stairway, and I believe there was also one that had to do with removing or changing a sprinkler.
