This was the BEST massage of my life. I’m actually jealous of myself 10 minutes ago when I was still in it. I’m so relaxed and she hit all the right spots with the right amount of pressure. Definitely will be coming back and will be recommending to all my friends. Can’t wait to come back

60 minutes felt like two hours! This is a no nonsense place that gets down to business. It's a new location and the decor looks great! It's February, but they still have a small Christmas tree up - how festive! The rooms are dimly lit and the music is soft but the same track and over again. It's ok because every so often birds chip on the soundtrack. The bed itself it a bit short, I'm just under 6' and my feet hung a bit off the end. But! The bed was heated and the room was kept at a great temperature. The massage was great, I did the hot stone one which was a first for me. Like I said it seemed waaaay longer than an hour and she even stepped out to get the stones for what seemed like 5 minutes. I'll for sure go back!

I get massages often and everywhere I travel to. This was bar far the worst experience I’ve ever had. I’m almost sure the person who attempted to give a strange rough-jerking massage was either very tired or had no experience. I asked for a full body hot stone massage and they jerked me around the massage table for the first 30 minutes just on the trapezius muscles. Once they brought the hot stones (after what felt like ages later) they were so hot, they themselves were making funny breathing noises. They covered my back with the sheets because they were burning hot and even then my back got hurt. I asked them to please remove them. I was hoping in my head that this would get better but instead they just rubbed some lotion on my legs, passed the rocks by my feet up and down a few times and cleaned the lotion with towels. The entire process was dreadful and I wish I had just asked them to stop. The lotion smelt old. Their fingernails were too long. They mostly used their forearm with fast passed, non-relaxing motions, that jerked me abruptly up and down a very hard massage table. Anything I tried to ask them to change, they just nervously laughed as there was an obvious language barrier. They didn’t even ask me to flip from my chest to my back. No actual foot rub, never touched my face or head, spent maybe one minute on hands. Terrible. Just terrible. For a person with such a limited schedule, this was beyond a disappointment. I’m so shocked there are such good reviews.
