| - I've been to Stillwater a few times now. I think it is one of the best (if not THE best) spa in town.
The change room has a whirlpool, steam room, rain showers, and an amazing assortment of complimentary items including mouthwash, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, shaving cream, hair spray, hair elastics, brushes, and deodorant. There's even a mini fridge stocked with cold moist towels! Everywhere you look in the change room you'll find ladies lounging around completely blissed out. If you come to Stillwater, even for a mani or pedi, you MUST come early and use the change room facilities! The only thing that would make the change rooms better would be for Stillwater to become a women's only spa and reno the ladies change room to take over the men's side too!
Once you are done in the change rooms, you are told to make your way to the Spa Lounge to wait for your massage therapist or esthetician to come get you. The waiting area has snacks, tea, coffee and water. I even saw someone eating a salmon entree here once. I guess you can order from the hotel restaurant?
I got the Essential Quench massage the last time I visited Stillwater and loved every second. They had four great scents of body butter to choose from. Having to make this decision was probably the worst part of my spa experience. My massage therapist Amy was very professional, always making sure the pressure was good. Once she was finished the back and leg massage, I turned over and she folded the massage bed into a zig zag shape to put me in position for the ultimate neck and foot massage.
I agree with the previous reviewer, although Stillwater is expensive, definitely on the high end of the price scale in town, Stillwater is worth every penny. Especially when you have massage therapy coverage through your medical benefits :) I would much rather get three awesome massages per year than five or six mediocre massages.
The only thing I would not recommend going to Stillwater for is a pedicure with a group of three or more. They only have two pedicure chairs. This makes me so sad because my mom, sister and I have an annual tradition of going for mothers day pedi's. I'd love to book at Stillwater, but we want to be able to sit together and chat.
