| - Sigh...I really wanted to give this place a higher score, because it has the potential to be better, but unfortunately it just was pretty average.
The PROS:
-Nice, clean facility, friendly staff, competitive pricing
The CONS:
-They collect payment and tip in advance which I've never seen an upscale spa do before unless it's spa week, the massage rooms are kind of industrial and the music is clubby and too loud.
I came here recently with my husband for a couple's massage. My husband had a perfect experience with only one or two other men in his spa area and a great massage. I, unfortunately, had to hear a loud group of cackling ladies laughing and shouting the entire time in the spa. In hindsight, I should've probably complained to the staff, since there were signs posted everywhere indicating to use hushed voices, but I didn't really feel like having drama at the spa, so I just kind of tried to avoid them. Once I finally escaped the loud ladies, I settled into a seat in the sauna where I could relax. I got about 3 minutes of relaxation in before some Egyptian woman (customer) came in and started asking me a bunch of personal questions and ranting about American women. Throughout much of my time in the spa, I felt that older heavy women were staring at me and at times even making comments to one another. One even made a comment to me about my thin build. I'm from Scottsdale, AZ where young thin women are everywhere in spas, but lets just say I was a little out of place here and I could feel the stares. After my somewhat stressful spa experience, I settled into the massage room for my massage. My masseause Pierre was really nice and I think had good intentions, but his hands were rough and kind of felt like they were scratchy on my skin. His massage was mediocre for the most part and failed to really focus on muscles on my body, despite the fact that it was an upgraded therapeutic massage. Once again though, my husband had a wonderful peaceful time in the men's spa and also said that his massage was among the best in his life, so perhaps it's worth another shot.
