Keep in mind this was way before BR, when he was still playing the Clueless Fop. And Michael's description was a "fleshpit" and a "A house of sin!" And from a certain perspective Club Zero is the finest in town, in the sense that it is the pinnacle of its particular purpose.

Michael would probably have described any strip club as a fleshpit and a house of sin. And Thomas would be hard pressed to misrepresent just what Club Zero was when Michael was right there with him. Club Zero is kind of, well, obvious, and there's no way even Thomas could call it a "gentleman's club."

And thats the crux of it: Catholic raised Michael would see any such club as an extreme of sin, while White Court raised Thomas in on the other extreme of the spectrum, and by his families standards it is just another fetish club (if an exclusive one). I dont think there would be any "misrepresenting", just differing definitions and/or degrees of familiarity.
knnn:
The only reason I would say it might be Club Zero is because you are otherwise granting what appears to be a *lot* of power to White Court vampire. Consider that every major city has numerous "houses of sin", and for a White Court vampire to be able to detect a portal to any of those means practically instant transportation to any city in the world -- *way* better than anything the White Council apparently has.
Heck, Chichen Itza has a small town/village maybe 2 miles away (Pisté) that includes multiple hotels (catering to tourists) -- I'd expect "massage services" to be available. There is also an actual city (Valladolid) is 20 miles away. Sure it's further away than the 5 miles Harry gets to, but there is a direct road to CI from either of those places. This means you can commandeer a vehicle -- can always circle around once you get close.
So why didn't Harry ask for Thomas to find the portal?
Quantus:
Because Thomas can only Home In on a resonant location once he's in the NN, and then still has to traverse NN terrain to get there, which may not be anywhere close to where he randomly entered. The NN is not a nice place...
