Arcade has been closed permanently and removed. They needed additional sales floor space.

Stopped in on October 24, 2018. Holes are indeed closed up. I bought a $6 card and found an open stall.

I wasn't in there for more than sixty seconds before the door cracked open and I waved a guy in. Got a pretty decent hand job before he went to his knees. Not gonna lie, I popped before he could get his mouth down there — this was my first time. I will definitely be back!

...aaand the gloryholes are sealed up again.

Still guys lurking and checking doors on occupied booths, but anonymous cock is no longer a thing.

This place was legendary in the 90's when it was known as the Pleasure Palace II. I sucked my first cock here.

I'd heard Romantix had boarded up all their gloryholes after some sort of police intimidation, not just here, but everywhere. After reading the gloryholes were back in another market, I decided to make my first stop here in years, and we're good to go!

You purchase a card for a minimum of six dollars from the cashier. That gives you 24 minutes of time — $.25/min, pretty much the industry standard. You can put more on the card if you want or you can refill on the fly in the booth, there's dollar machines. Slip the card in the brightly lit yellow slot. If it sticks, check to see if somebody else left an expired card in the slot. The card reader can be fussy, so if your time disappears, just jiggle it. You can pull the card out and move to another booth and your time will carry with you.

The booths are single-occupancy with lockable doors and fixed position chairs bolted to the floor. There's no wastebaskets or tissues, so plan accordingly. There are gloryholes to adjacent booths, both sides on middle booths, single on end booths. Monitors range from the occasional flat screens to old CRT's. There seems to be 24 to 35 channels depending on the booth. Only a little more than half the channels had anything on them.

If you long for the old days and want to experience this place in all its, uh, glory, come on down. It's right here waiting.

Went in there a few weeks ago. Loved the double gloryholes as I could watch two other guys going at it. Pretty soon I had one guy rimming me from the gloryhole and another guy came in and sucked me off.

Later a girl came in and put her ass right against the hole and said to do what I wanted. So naturally I fucked her until she joined me to finish me off. Only time I have seen a girl there, though.

Anyone been here in the past couple of weeks? Really want to take the wife down there and get some cocks for her to play with and suck them off all over her tits.

Went to Romantix. Went to the arcade and paid $6 to go in. Bummer, no females were in there, just old guys. No fun with the gloryhole .

This is now a Romantix store. Other than that change, it seems to be the same as reviews indicated. Not very busy on a Thursday early afternoon, but busy enough.

Was there on a recent Monday night around 9 pm. The adult softball/soccer/rugby games were just ending and several hot guys stopped in to get serviced. I sucked the biggest most beautiful cock I've seen on a big beefy "Rookies" team player. It was awesome.

The staff at the Palace are friendly and leave you alone. Hit the store at the right time and you won't leave disappointed. There's usually someone there for everyone. Last time I was there I did three guys in a row, wiped my chin and then left happy.

This place is well known but last few times I've been there the staff has been really unpleasant. One of the clerks likes to come back and taunt you and tell you you're a perv for being there. There is another guy who comes back and slams on the doors with his fist and screams at you if you don't have a movie playing. The card readers make it hard to get a movie started and he won't stop even after you get it working. He stood outside yelling for a full minute even though my movie had only stopped playing for a little bit as he walked past. It makes for a very unpleasant situation.

Nice clean bookstore and most booths have glorholes. Sometimes there are a lot of older men here but sometimes the action is great.

I almost always have good luck here. Lots of nice black cocks to suck and fuck. Always some nice ass to fuck. Plenty of gloryholes -- some where you can have two at once. Lots of guys will suck and swallow. Great place with cool staff.

I was just there yesterday, sucked down tasty loads from three guys. You can always have fun there.

I was here in November and met a nice Black man with a big cock. We went into one of the preview booths where I sucked him off. I then went and bought some condoms and went back in the booth again and he was still there. He followed me into the same booth where I sucked him hard and I got naked and he fucked me several different ways until he pulled out. He pulled off the condom and shot a second hot load in my mouth! Whoever you are, thanks! I'll look for you the next time I'm there!

Was just there this week. Sucked off a college guy. He asked me to go into a double booth with him. Ate his ass until we both shot a load. Very nice day!

I was passing through Ames last week and hit the bookstore. Although it was early in the day, I had some fun! The first encounter was with a guy who I jacked off. Second encounter was with a hot, well-built, hairy guy with a shaved dick and balls. We got naked in the doubles booth and had a very hot time.

There are always hot men here. There are some buddy booths in addition to the gloryhole booths. I recently had a cock on both sides of my booth, so we all met in the corner buddy booth for a hot fuck and suck session. Very busy on weekend afternoons and Sunday evenings.

I did not even have to go into the store. The minute I got out of my car, this young jock boy approached me and asked me to suck his cock back in the booths. So I took him back there and ended up fucking his hot, tight hole. Then I sucked him off. I would definitely go back again.

I went Saturday around 5:30 pm and within a minute or two, had a guy in the next booth ready to give me his cock. I sucked off two guys and got sucked off myself all within fifteen minutes. I love this place.

I went in last Friday and there was a young couple in there. I went in one of the booths with a gloryhole and they came into the next one. I stuck my cock through the hole and the girl started sucking it, then she traded off with her boyfriend. This is a great place to go.

I gave three handjobs through the holes. The place had plenty of people and they all were well-hung.

It never takes longer than thirty minutes to find a young, attractive stud to suck the load right out of my shaft. I've even been able to fuck a few asses through the gloryholes which are spacious and nice.

This is a great place to go when you want to be assured a hot time. You'll never be disappointed. There are even a few hot college boys that frequent the place. Lots of hot cock and larger rooms for fuck sessions. The staff doesn't bother you either.

I've been going here for years because the action is hot and the clerks don't cause any problems. Today, though, for the first time a store employee stood in the arcade watching the booths, presumably to prevent any sharing of booths. Usually I am there during the morning hours (still lots of action) but today this occurred in late afternoon. Too bad, because this has always been a great place to get off, any way you like. This did not involve police, just store personnel.

I had a great time there. I went into a larger booth with a hot looking bear and we ended up getting totally naked. He jizzed all over me and I had to sacrifice a new pair of CK boxerbreifs to clean up. A hot time.

Actually, one of the best, cleanest gloryhole/bookstores setup in the entire country! I always stop on my way thru Iowa, and am never disappointed. I just wish there were more customers! But given that it is a small town, that is not surprising, but go if you like gloryholes!

This place is great. I stopped there one day last summer and got blown right away by a nice cum swallower. I returned the favor when he put a nice eight inch cock through the hole. He blew all over my face, then I looked at the other hole and there was a seven inch cock which I sucked, too. I sucked a total of six cocks that day, all nice and clean. I love it!
