2 /5 Marshall Bostons: Horrible massage from Lisa. Was exactly like going to the inexpensive, walk-in, keep your clothes on type massage parlor. Not that those are inherently bad, but if you go to a luxury spa, and pay spa prices, that’s definitely not what you’d expect. Had to ask her three times to slow her pace down—it was like she was trying to start up a fire, lol. I also asked her at the beginning to focus on my neck and back, but she processed me very systematically. I felt like I was like a task for her to complete. Not relaxing at all, and it ended with her pounding the bottom of my feet. If I’d been able to melt in at all that would have been a very abrupt finishing touch. Absolutely not a spa grade massage, and felt like a wasted hour. We were there for a couples massage, and honestly the only thing that kept me on the table was the respect for not disturbing my husband’s experience. Otherwise my naked buns would have been gone after 15-20 minutes of tolerance.
Pros: atmosphere was very pleasant and peaceful, and the other staff extremely friendly. My husband had one of the best massages he’s been given. His masseuse was Patrick, who was super zen. I wanted a Patrick-like person to be my masseuse, too.
If you do go here query who your masseuse will be when you set up the appointment. Just do yourself a favor and ask for Patrick.
