The Upper Level at The Diplomat Health Club

The Upper Level describes itself as “an alternative adult stay for all genders.” It is three reservable rooms above The Diplomat Health Club, a private gay sauna and bath house at 2324 Division Avenue South in Grand Rapids that says it has been gay-owned and operated within the same family since 1980 and is open 24 hours. The page pitches the rooms to swingers and couples. The rooms are the Master Suite, the Retro Room and the Loft Room, with a kitchen and dining room with a TV. The room rate includes the club's day pass and entry; the club lists a hot tub, a seasonal cedar dry sauna, a locker room, group showers, TV lounges, a theater, an outdoor patio, a gym, free wifi, snacks and complimentary coffee. Upper Level rooms are the only ones the club offers that can be reserved ahead, by email, and hold one or two people, with one guest allowed up from the club. Renters must be 21 or older with a credit card matching their state or federal ID, which the club says is checked only to verify age. Nudity is allowed in the room but not in shared areas. The club has zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs, bans photography and video on the property, and limits smoking to the patio.
