Baywalk 20 theaters in a world of stink.

August 4th, 2008 by Eric Snider in Random Acts

I went to the movies at Baywalk on Saturday night — saw The Dark Knight, but there’s been enough about that — and as a loyal, long-time resident of the ’burg, I must say I was embarrassed.

Muvico Baywalk 20 is going to seed. Worst of all, the hallways heading into the theaters stink — they reek like a giant bin of dirty sweat sox being washed in perm solution. The joint has smelled like dirty feet for awhile, and it gets worse every time I’m there.

I’m not an expert on this sort of thing, but perhaps management might want to hire a night crew to clean the carpets.

So far the stench has not wafted into the actual theaters — and the popcorn smell masks it in the lobby — but it’s only a matter of time.

I made my usual men’s room stop before the movie, and after washing (well, rinsing) my hands tried to get a slice of paper towel too dry them off. I hit up four of the dispensers. Nothing came out. Empty, all of them. I dried my hands on my pants, and went to tell the manager. I wasn’t mad, but I was a little sad.

    AH! Finally!
    I totally agree Eric. The Baywalk smells like crotch rot. And YES it does waft into the theater, or at least it did during my viewing of Sex & The City.
    (The next commenter can have pun with the crotch rot/Sex & The City reference.)

    I also agree, Eric. When I saw Dark Knight a couple weeks back, my friend Emily noted that it smelled like a wet dog in the hallway. I think it’s time to shampoo the carpets.

    Weird, maybe it’s a Muvico thing. The Centro 20 also smells like feet.

    Well thats their master plan of having a national company service their buildings rather than having local companies that can actually keep a handle on stuff like this….Poor management!

    Years of low bid cleaners, plus the pad under the carpet is the problem. It’s oil soaked and rancid. Big problem in all carpeted theaters not using proper Type of carpet and pad.

    Maybe it’s the years of smoking that has dulled my sense of smell, but I was there the other night for the Dark Knight IMAX and I didn’t notice.
