Reviews
GoogleI’ve been going here for almost 10 years, I love this place to say the least. Consistently with great service and at a reasonable price! Lily in particular gives a wonderful massage and is very hard working / attentive, and I’ve also had other masseurs there who were also great. Definitely would recommend.
I’ve been coming here for about 10 years now, and always have a generally good experience. I usually don’t book in advance and never know which person I’ll get, but most are quite skilled. Lily is especially amazing (and very effective at reducing knots)—though she’s not always there. The massage quality can vary depending on the person, but overall it’s a positive experience and a great, affordable place if you don’t mind a simple, no-frills setting.
If you’re looking for a no frills deep tissue/ sports massage lily is the best and the value is unbeatable. If you’re comparing this to a $350 massage at a hotel spa you’re missing the point.
Love this place! I’ve been going here for over 2 years. I usually go with Lily for a deep tissue, but I’ve popped in randomly and others have been good too. They accommodate an hour or if I only have 30 min they do that too. Great deal and I recommend this place to all my friends!
