Report
Impeccable facility in terms of cleanliness & legitimate massages too. Whenever you can doze off, that's a terrific sign. Quite large with several rooms & a main lounge for feet massages. Dimmed lighting too so easy to relax. Take advantage of their afternoon specials. For $45, you can't beat it. Free parking in plaza, be aware of the limited 45min stalls.
