About Old Town Massage
Old Town Massage is a hidden gem tucked away upstairs in Old Town. It is not fancy but provides a great, amazing, and excellent deep tissue massage that is both deep and relaxing. The service combines traditional deep tissue with some Thai massage techniques. Customers report leaving feeling great, like a rockstar ready to go on stage. The place is tidy and offers a budget deal compared to other places, with fair prices. However, there are significant cons regarding customer service. Some customers report being charged more than the quoted price, with explanations about pressure costing extra, and have experienced lectures about tipping. There have also been complaints about the room being freezing, with the fan left on and the door left open during the massage, which felt like an invasion of privacy. Despite the great massage objectively, these service issues have left some customers feeling perplexed, insulted, and unwilling to return. Others, however, always have a great experience and wish they lived close enough to be regulars, strongly suggesting a visit if in the area.
The massage is deep and relaxing, and a budget deal compared with other places. It’s tucked away upstairs in Old Town LQ, but once you find it, you’ll be glad you did. It’s not fancy but it’s a good massage!
I left so perplexed and insulted by my masseuse after what I thought was a great massage. I called ahead asking for a masseuse with extremely firm pressure for a deep tissue and the receptionist told me it was $90 for 90 minutes. During the massage Lydia asked me how the pressure was and I asked her to go firmer. I was having some psoas tightness and asked if she could give me a stomach massage which she was equipped to do, (which is rare). Overall she combined some Thai massage techniques with traditional deep tissue and I felt great afterwards. Checking out, however, ruined the experience for me and I will not be retuning. She charged me $100 for the massage and when I reminded her what I was quoted, she started spinning a story that because she had to use more pressure the massage costed more. 1) She failed to mention this during the massage and 2) if I was a man would she have pulled the same hoax? I specifically called in advance requesting hard pressure; she had plenty of opportunities to share any "caveats" to the rates. I read a similar review before going, and was optimistic it was a fluke. On top of this, she had the audacity to lecture me about my 20% tip.. claiming I should have given her more since she used more pressure. Read the room Lydia. Terrible customer service. Of the hundreds of massages I've gotten around the world I've never heard so much crap from a professional. Beyond that experience, the place was tidy, but the room was freezing. I asked her to turn the fan off and she said no since she was hot. As she turned me over I noticed the door had been wide open the entire massage which is a complete invasion of my privacy. Lots of cons, but great massage objectively. But yeah- hard pass.
Okay not to sound like one of those, but I have had massages all over the world as my partner requires me to relax which I appreciate. YELP short answer, yes no doubt if you need deep tissue or relaxing muscle massage I have never had better, ever, anywhere. Location: old town La Quinta upstairs. Lots,of parking options not an issue. Buildout: very nice as it is purposefully done, quiet, and correct. Masseuse: amazing 90 minutes of rapid muscle massage and stretching. For me more relaxing and it was the best. Comfort level: very professional and perfect in my session, I will be back. Value: yes but make a reservation and enjoy. I can't say enough as we have had many overpriced fancy treatments over the years, this was beyond that as it was fairly priced and better than most. What can I say but you need to visit, big fan we will be back weekly or monthly.
