| - I'll start by saying that if you are looking for a quick massage during your lunch hour, this spa will do the trick. The therapists are qualified and welcoming. However, if you are looking for an actual 'spa' experience, this isn't the place to choose.
Its a teeny tiny little operation in a vanilla brick office building. The space includes two interconnected treatment rooms, a waiting room that doubles as the receptionist's work space, and no showers. Not a good spot for a ladies spa day (which is why my Mom and I went), don't expect to be able to lounge anywhere before or after treatment. And yes, I did inform the receptionist when booking that this was our plan. She offered to add a wine and cheese plate to our experience, but honestly I have no idea where we would have enjoyed it -- in the space next to her desk?
I think our biggest let down was the way the package we booked was billed: it was supposed to be a 90 minute hot stone massage, a 'gemstone' facial, and a special foot treatment. They actually combined all three treatments at once -- doing the foot treatment at the same time as the 'facial'. The quotes are because the gemstone facial was not a facial -- it was a face massage with a very thick hydrating cream. We both kept waiting for someone to return, remove the cream, and continue with the 'facial'. Not at all what we expected.
At the end of our treatments, the only people left in the 'spa' were ourselves and our therapists, and since the marketing and booking of services isn't really their job, we didn't make a fuss. We did both agree that the massage part of our experience was well done and relaxing. But that being said, we wouldn't return.
