Dirtiest Pool in Portland

by Srini at Citysearch

//There is no option to give Rating 0. BAC doesn't deserve a Star. Why is diarr hea (without space not accepted) inappropriate to use?

Every visit to the pool causes eye infections or diarr hea. If you check with front desk, they don't have a procedure to record any complaints. Talk to your friends who visit the BAC pool and check with them .

Outside pool is so dirty that even sitting by side of it can cause sickness. Kids with diapers (hanging with space for water to flush the diaper) ,no control of number of people in water at a particular time etc.

The family changing area is carpeted and has a stinky smell. You cannot take younger kids to the adult locker rooms. Every time you take your kids to the family changing room, you need to stop talking due to the smell and walk out ASAP. (Very bad choice to use carpet in that area, as it is wet most of the day and no space for fresh air to get in or to be sanitized, . Don't tell me you sanitize it at end of the day.)

The Portland downtown club has a cleaner pool, small separate area for kids and professional staff.

The group fitness sessions are so crowded that you need to step on other members during the aerobics and other group sessions. They don't have limitations on how many people can attend a class.

If you can drive till 24 hour fitness or THPRD or cedar mill recreation center , do that for a healthy life and save your money.

• Pros: Only Fitness Center in Bethany
• Cons: Dirtiest Pool, Unfriendly Staff, Inconsistent rules

They also have very unreasonable policy, that kids under 7 must be put in the stroller to track with you on the track (so do kids under 7 must be put in the stroller to go to kindergarten????????), and kids under 7 are not allowed in the woman's lock room which has the steam room and sauna room, even the kids just going in take a shower. so if you have kids under 7 you probably don't want to join this club, because you never get chance to go to the steam room and sauna room.

• Pros: very rude staff

What an amazing experience. The staff in the spa was so warm and welcoming right from the start. All up until the delightful Chocolate Papaya Mud Wrap, I was catered and taken care of. The staff created such a stress and tension free environment, I completely forgot about the important meeting I had the next day. I could recommend this spa to anyone who is new to the area or looking for a peaceful place to spend your day.

• Pros: Staff, Parking, Service
