I happened to be staying in Albany, NY for a couple of days and ended up coming here two days in a row. It's a small, yet very decent bathhouse. There are the usual amenities -- lockers, rooms, steam, sauna, wi-fi, two public computers, Jacuzzi, showers etc. There is a gym with free weights, machines, and two treadmills. The gym area has two different TV's showing broadcast television. They offer free coffee and tea (of a higher quality than I've usually experienced in these kind of places). You can buy snacks, supplies, etc from the front desk, and they can simply add it to your room bill -- so you can pay for it when you check out. I did find it strange that they have surveillance cameras throughout much of the facility, including two adult video lounges. I imagine this is to enforce the ban on any public play? But there are no cameras in other areas where I assume play is encouraged -- a glory hole room, a dark room, a room with a sling, etc. I thought the time limit was a bit strange as well -- 4 hours is all you get when you rent a room or a locker. The heat in both the Steam room and Sauna were disappointingly low, and the Jacuzzi water seemed a bit cloudy to my eye -- but overall I found the place to be clean and well maintained. I felt comfortable walking around barefoot. I enjoyed my time here -- the crowd skewed older, as they often do at these places, but I got to know several men more intimately. I bet you will too.

Comfortable, relaxing place

I like this place very much. Easy to get to off the interstate, easy/safe parking, clean/well-maintained, and overall nice atmosphere/decor. Staff is nice. I'm surprised the place isn't busier than it is. A Sunday afternoon is the best time to visit.

parking BS

I've been here several times and always have a good time. Last weekend though the parking was miserable. The big lot out front is private property and now unavailable. The clubs parking lot is small. I wasn't comfortable leaving my car far down the next block and left. Hope they straighten this out.

Always have fun!

i have been going to RSC for about a year now and always have a good time. Some better than others, but can always relax and usually hookup as much as I want. A mix of guys there, generally older, but some hot younger ones too. And those old guys, do know how to please ;) the coffee is great and I like the upstairs lounge to just relax and get out of the hookup area when I need a break. Staff is generall good to very friendly, though I am happy and positive, so I think that helps. Wish they were open all night though. I would like to stay all night at times and sleep a bit then go "back to work" LOL

First Time There

First, I have visited several around the country and Eurooe, River Street is one of the better ones in terms of cleanliness, facilities and friendliness. This is the only one I have been to that closed at 11 each night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The patrons were very nice also, mixed ages and sizes, all willing participants. I was there starting around lunchtime on a Friday but there a good number for the time. The facility is well maintained, including a jacuzzi, steamroom, dry sauna, shower room (all on first floor), video lounges, video room, glory hole room, dark room, sling room and gym on second floor. Most people get a room on the second floor for convenience but being on the first floor was good for me. I would definitely go back, other patrons said Saturday is the better day/night to attend. Have fun.
