This is a great place to come and get those kinks worked out. The dim lights and smell is relaxing the moment you walk in the door.
I read a comment about people being freaked out about the staff gently placing their hands on our backs while guiding us to and from the rooms. But what they don't realize is that it is a gentle way to guide us through the dimly lit hallways and to not walk into the walls after the treatments when we're so relaxed and sometimes dizzy from a great massage. If you don't feel comfortable being touched that way, it doesn't hurt the therapist's feelings if you ask that they only touch you when you're on the table, really it doesn't. If you ask in a "no big deal" way, it's treated like it's no "big deal". My friend is like this and it's never looked at as weird. I don't think they care, they just want to make you happy and comfortable.
Yes, sometimes there are ladies that can get really noisy and chatty in the spa. Some think that their money allows them to be rude and annoying. So I make a point of enjoying the facilities when I know I can really enjoy it. Sunday evenings and week nights are my favorite. I can feel like I have the whole place to myself. Weekends there seem to be bridal parties and birthday parties that come in. There is no getting around that. So I go when I know I can count on peace and quiet. I see the staff being frustrated sometimes and have a difficult line to walk when clients have no care for others and are rude and loud. They complain about being asked to lower their voices. And others complain that the staff didn't do enough to ask them to lower their voices. You can't please all the people. But they certainly do their best and try not to insult anyone in the process.
One of the things I've done is bring ear plugs or my iPod, so I can really be in my own world.
As far as the antlers in the front lounge...really?I've been going there for 5 yrs and I never noticed them until recently. Big deal. At least it's not a whole head of an elk on the wall. I think that would have been ugly. I can see the masculine, sport chalet look they must be going after, but whatever.
What really matters is that I get my moneys worth. And here, I do! From the friendly and accommodating staff, to the fantastic massages and warm robes. I will be a long time client and gee...think I'll book something right now!
Oh yea, I was wondering about the person that commented that she's been here several times and everytime it was not a good experience. Why does she keep going back?
Pros: Great massages, great facials
Cons: Sometimes noisy clients on the weekends
