All around bad place for a massage
Thursday, October 16, 2008
I was very disappointed with my recent experience at Graceful Services. I was expecting a little more for my money considering this an "award winning" spa. The website pictures are very deceiving, so definitely don't expect the relaxing decor or environment that is portrayed. The room was insanely cramped and it took me a while to figure out that I needed to put my plastic box of belongings under the massage bed. There was no room to just put it on the floor, so that was an interesting task. The "rooms" are separated by curtains and I could literally see the impresson of the masseuse next door as she manuevered around the cramped spot. Although there was relaxing music, it was usually muffled by the loud noises in the hallway and the hot stone treatment in the room next door, which was very distracting.
The massage in general was not good, to put it nicely. I'm not sure if it was the environment, but I just couldn't get comfortable. Like the woman who posted before me, I have scoliosis and this masseuse just couldn't get it right. I'm actually in more pain now, than I was when I went in.
I definitely do not recommend this place. Spend a little more money and go to a spa where they have real rooms and better trained masseurs.
Pros: Price
Cons: Cramped spaces, no closed rooms, noisy, poorly trained masseurs
