| - Like some other reviews, I had a very odd experience at this massage place. When I walked up at 9pm, their neon sign brightly explained that they were open and their door corroborated that they close at 10pm, but the lights were off and the door was locked.
I knocked on the door and a man emerged from the hallway and just stared at me through the door while I tried to communicate through the window why I thought they were open. He left with no attempt at a response, only to come back and open the door a minute later and ask if my friend and I wanted massages. He then asked if we were okay with male "masseuses", being that we were male, which we were. At that point he brought us into the waiting room and left us there with the lights off.
He then came back with a lady who spoke better English and she asked what kinds of massages we wanted while the man repeatedly reminded her to make us pay ahead of time and in cash. After paying in cash, he escorted us down the hallway. They didn't seem to know who was in what rooms, as they stopped at each one and realized that someone was lying in its darkness before finding us a room.
Once we were posted in the room, our "masseuses" came and got started on our leg and foot massages, but would often just get up, walk out, and talk in the hallway before returning. At one point my "masseuse" left and a new one returned to finish the massage.
When the massages were over we agreed to get out of there as quickly as possible because we were so weirded out. We were unfortunately greeted by the same dark waiting room and the same locked front door. The man then came up behind us and pressured us to tip him before he would unlock the door.
I'm not from Phoenix, but I would be shocked if there weren't better massage places.
