Every now and then you just need a spa day! I was lucky enough to receive a gift card for the spa for Christmas. The spa at GVR gives locals 30% off Monday-Thursday on all spa treatments which is one of the best deals in town. I opted for a 50 minute massage which came out to $126 including a 20% tip for the spa staff. It is a little more than some of the strip mall places but you get so much more, a complete spa experience.
The Spa has a private parking lot just north of the main hotel entrance. As soon as you walk in you can see and hear the large water feature on the back wall and get that wonderful spa smell. After checking in at the front desk you walk down to the spa area where you are greeted by the spa attendants and given a locker key and slippers.
The mens locker room is large and spacious. Being here midweek it was nearly empty. There are lockers, showers, a relaxation room with hot tea and bottled waters, a hot tub, sauna and steam room. There are plenty of towels and toiletries for your use. If you are here with someone of the opposite sex they also have a nice co-ed spa area.
Back upstairs you have use of the fitness center and private spa pool. You also have access to all areas the entire day which is great if you want to come back later and work out. After relaxing in the hot tub and steam I was called to my appointment. The massage was great, super relaxing and just what I needed.
All of the spa staff were very friendly and attentive and the facilities were spotless. When it warms back up I will definitely be returning to enjoy the pool and another treatment.
