Warning - ALBANY HOT TUBS

On February 20, 2014 my girlfriend and I decided to go hot tubing at Albany Hot Tubs. I haven't been public hot tubbing for 20 years. The next morning I woke to what I thought was a rash or spider bites on my chest. By the end of the week it had become infected and became extremely painful. I went to my doctor and she said right away it is a staph infection. To make a long story short, please don't visit this establishment. I have been through hell and back (I have photos to prove it). I have a scare on my chest and had to go through 2 rounds of antibiotics. I'm not sure if I am totally over it. They won't help me pay my medical bills and their insurance co. says they are not covered for events like this. They even tried to say they had no record of our reservation! I am finally talking to the Alameda Health Dept. I am a local resident who grew up here. Please, this place is not clean nor do they deal with situations like this in any decency. I am posting this on yelp and everywhere else I can and will be telling everyone in the Albany Community.
