INTRODUCTION:
The twenty-something crowd is always a coveted demographic, no matter what you're trying to sell, even if it's gay bathhouses. This is especially true in Los Angeles, because it's the city that runs on marketing and numbers, and becomes a model of what's cool for the rest of the world. And with all this pressure on our shoulders, sometimes we just want to relax and cruise up to our favorite hangouts to let off some steam.
I've tried a lot of bathhouses in the city, and you can tell that as soon as you walk into North Hollywood Spa that they want to be the top name in gay hookups in the city, which is doubly challenging when you're up in the Valley. They make a great case for it, though, with some extensive facilities, and some great details that are hard to refuse.

ABOUT:
While North Hollywood Spa has a very discreet entrance - like so many other bathhouses do - the similarities pretty much end there. As soon you enter and pay for a membership or just a locker (membership is $15 for six months, which is worth it because of the deals you get on lockers and rooms), you realize that there are a lot more amenities than most other places, and that all of them work. I've been to other places in the city where the jacuzzi has been broken for months, or the sundeck is closed off for some reason and they won't say why. But everything at North Hollywood Spa work great, and definitely one of the cleanest places I've been to.
The main area is quite open, with the cafe (another great perk) beside a nice social lounge area, and the exercise equipment close by. The lockers and change area are of a good size, and it's easy to go from there to the sauna and dry spa. When I couldn't figure out how to get the sundeck I had to come back downstairs and ask a staff member, and sometimes they can be few and far between. I guess that for how much they spent on all the features, they couldn't hire as many people as they wanted. At least this is also reflected in the price, which is quite affordable, especially during the week, with some cheaper deals for locker and room rental.
