Had a wonderful facial here. However, I was not happy about the automatic gratuity. I would have actually tipped more than the automatic amount, but was not given the chance. What if my service was just so-so? What if it was not good at all? That's the point of gratuity, it should match your experience. I know what the argument is...it assures that jerks don't get a great massage or whatever and then give $5 bucks. But it's not my job to see that the staff is fairly compensated. It's the spa's. The gratuity is extra.
Great services! I would highly recommend the soak after a massage. However, the other accommodations were lacking. The relaxation room was extremely small and the locker rooms only had one bathroom and one shower with no changing room. The sauna was at the end of the hallway with a glass door so it was uncomfortable to relax with people staring in. And it was a little noisy .. there was no door between the receptionist and the long hallways so it was hard to separate yourself and relax while listening to the music. I would definitely return, but would be more aware of the lack of relaxation room
Great massage and the staff is super friendly. The only reason this is not a 5 star is that I would love more amenities before or after the spa (private pool from the rest of the hotel guests, steam room, hot tub, etc).
