About Chicago Sweatlodge
The Chicago Sweatlodge offers a traditional sauna experience in a clean and welcoming environment. The sauna is hot, and the cold plunge is icy, providing a refreshing contrast. This community-oriented spot is a great place to relax and unwind, with amenities like a food bar and massage services. Guests can feel comfortable being themselves in this judgment-free zone. Open on Saturdays starting at 7 AM, it's a perfect way to start the weekend. However, recent reviews suggest some areas for improvement. Maintenance of the facilities, such as the shower water pressure and temperature controls, needs attention. The back patio has become an issue, with concerns about smoking and the overall cleanliness. The staff's presence in maintaining the cleanliness of the floor has also been noted as lacking. Despite these concerns, the facility is still praised for its simple design, wonderful saunas, and great food. The staff is also commended for their friendliness and accommodating nature. The cold plunge temperature is an ongoing issue, and the owners are encouraged to address it, as it is an integral part of the sauna experience.
It has been awhile since I've been here, and sadly, I have a few disappointments to report that may be a big deal for some. 1) for $40, there really needs to be better maintenance of the facilities. the shower water pressure is basically a drip shower. most of the water temp knobs are broken. shower heads are all dirty, w/ calcium buildup. 2) the back patio has turned into an ash tray.. literally ash trays everywhere, and it has become unusable for those that dont smoke, because it just smells so bad.. not to mention, its illegal to smoke within 15 feet of any entrance/ exit. Owners really need to enforce this as the patio needs to be for ALL people, not just those that smoke. 3) water all over the floor. I remember when there was staff constantly wiping and squeegeeing the floor. what happened to this upkeep? it just seems so understaffed, not taken care of. please get it back together. its nowhere near the quality it was pre covid.
Хорошая печка, мужики, поддерживайте чистоту в парилке и культурно учите правилам тех, кто не понимает процесса.
