Tonight at the Mega, event communion get out and come over to confess all your sins

Going down hill FAST!

I hadn't been in a year and was shocked what had been a rather nice place looks like the aftermath of a foreclosure. The carpets were all taken up so now it is just cold clammy cement. The towel racks are falling off the wall. ( do they own a power drill with a screw driver attachment). The rooms are fine although the sheets are so old that the black sheets are now faded gray and the pillows are antique lumpy blobs. All if the bathrooms have one thing or another out of order at all times. Doors seem to be falling off everything and cannot be fixed. It seems the clientele is fed up with the total lack of maintenance , clearly business is way off since they are closing off 50% of it to make it part of the straight club next door. Why has no one else in providence picked up on the incredible opportunity to open a NICE new club ??? Clearly the old crusty STRAIGHT owners of this down trodden dump are oblivious to what gay men expect from an entertainment venue. Here are a few 'highlights' of the sinking ship : The video monitor is busted so it only shows pornd in black and white, the soap dispensers are busted , so guys have had to remove the tops so you have to stick your hand into the tank, several machines leak water from the ceilings so there are puddles in random places everywhere , they took out the hot water tap ( for tea bags and coffee ) thrn stuck a dead plastic plant in the sink! They are so cheap that they stopped having bowls of mints. They closed off a few rooms and rather than lock them, they have the doors covered in duct tape like murder just took place ! The railing at the entry area rusted pry and fell off, so yup you guessed it, more crime scene tape ( and this is the FIRST thing you see when you walk toward the door ! Apparently there has been so much vandalism to cars that they closed off thier lot AND dropped their security guard ( how does that make sense?). The entry area is littered with rakes, shovels , cleaning carts , bags of sand etc! What should be the best thing, the entry area, looks like the underside of a storage shed. I give up. I cannot even think of ALL the beat up decayed trash , it's iverwhelming. I guess the thing to do is hope the other club is better, it just make the trek up to Montreal - where everyone says it's amazing. Sux Boston does not have a club. 8(

Good enough but deserves some improvement

On the up side, the staff are friendly and welcoming, and the fees are reasonable. There's plenty of off-street parking. Daily themes are fun. Towels and sheets are clean and smell washed. There's plenty of space (perhaps even too much) to wander and meet men. You can get a room with its own shower. I like the cockring-sized glory holes, I can just fit my meat through but then I'm trapped (in a good way) until someone makes me cum. And you can always get a fresh cup of coffee from their Keurig machine. On the down side, A lot could be done to step up from "just acceptable" to "good". It was raining when I visited and the foyer ceiling leaked. There was no hot water in the showers. There were 4 bathrooms, two were locked and not in service, one had no lights and the toilets had overflowed poopy water onto the floor. Cold tile and concrete floors were clammy and slippery with condensation. Duct tape across out-of-service rooms made it look like a crime scene. Years ago there was a small weight room but it's gone now. Someone had pissed on the floor in one of the glory hole alcoves. There are a lot of ways the space could be improved at minor expense and the Mega-Plex has been around long enough to deserve some spiffing up. I know I'd go more if I could get a hot shower and the floors were cleaner and drier.

Nice place to be your true self

This is a very clean and professionally run club. It is amazing that it is in an industrial area of Providence yet when you scan the license plates of cars parked you see not only Rhode Island, but Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and even on the rare occasion New York Maine, and Vermont. Very low key place - and very clean.
