I actually really enjoy this place, but I wanted to leave my experience here in hopes that maybe someone will read it and take it into account if similar situations are encountered in the future. I booked a hotel that's directly next door to cat club, having no idea at the time, for a week. So understandably during the weekends the entire building is very loud, on top of that the hotel is disgusting and barely habitable (Not the fault of cat club)...but this ultimately culminated in me having to sit outside the hotel for the majority of Saturday night, because inside was a situation that was dangerous to me and my recovery, and the safest option was outside. Let me also say that I am very much on the spectrum.....the entire time I was out here, keeping to myself and minding my own business...I was constantly harassed by patrons of this place. Either making weird/rude comments about me, laughing, saying I am "stare"ing at them (...I have no desire to stand outside and stare at strangers.)... I am so awkward and autistic that I couldn't properly address the situation..leading to even more ostracizing due to me perceived "offness"...even tho I never said a word to anyone, never left the steps of my hotel, and tried to be polite as possible .... I am a fairly big guy, and from what others have told me conventionally attractive (I feel this just makes it worse honestly.. Like when my personality doesn't match what they expect .. idk)...and bald...so I have a striking presence that tends to attract attention.... I just wanted to say, where nobody will probably ever read it ..that hurt more than I could have anticipated heh....the fact so many people just engaged in mean/rude behaviors towards me and not a single one even though to say a word to me.....it hurts a lot heh. I don't really intent to be this awkward / unlike others but it's just how things are for me..but damn did it hurt. So maybe, if you're reading this and in the future you see some lone person, who is obviously different from others and seems out of place Don't be so quick to judge and to be mean/rude and crap..it hurts more than you know . I was being treated like I was out there preying on young girls when all I was doing was sitting outside my hotel cuz I am going thru some major shit right now and inside was a situation I couldn't be in... Anyways...this place is fun if you fit their (albeit expanded) version of normal....if you aren't neurotypical and by yourself, just be forewarned there is little empathy for you here, despite what they claim.
