It actually was a week and a half later from my first experience that I went back to the sauna. In between, I did my research about these spas and found out about another spa that also was not explicitly for cruising, but was infamous for lots of gay action.
Unlike the other spa, the entrance was a lot less conspicuous. There was a small entrance on the side of a business building and the entrance into the men's spa was down the steps into the basement level.
Like usual, after entering, I put my clothes in the locker and headed to the showers. It was mid-day during the week, maybe around 2 pm. I saw a couple of older Asian men who clearly were not there to cruise and a couple of Russian men chattering in the hot tubs. The way the sauna was laid out, there were shower stalls along the walls, with two hot tubs and one pool in the middle. Unlike how it was advertised, there did not seem like there was anyone there to cruise nor any place for discreet play.
I went into the hot tub, just like last time, and just enjoyed the sensation of the hot water melting away my knots. After 15 minutes, I decided to sit on a lawn chair at the corner of the room where I could have a full view of everything and everyone. I wear glasses so often I can't really see that well due to the fog that builds up. Luckily, where I sat, it was just far enough from the steam of the hot tubs and showers that my glasses weren't fogged and I could look. That's when I saw that the room wasn't actually fully enclosed. There was a corridor that I saw people walking in and out of. Turns out, that's where the steam rooms were and where the action was taking place. Along the corridor were three different steam rooms, a mat room, and a bathroom. They were all tucked away and nowhere near the entrance of the sauna.
I went from room to room until I found the mist room. Unlike the last spa I went to, when I went in, there were only two people inside, both seated apart from each other. No action nor any hint of holding back.
I sat towards the back, close to the steam machine, so that now the three of us each claimed a wall. It must not have even been five minutes when they started leaving one at a time. I felt slightly disappointed by the experience so far, but was also enjoying the emptiness of the sauna as well as it meant I could relax. Alone, I decided to unwrap the towel around my waist and leaned back to enjoy the steam.
