Cannot beat the prices. You can get an hour massage for $39 and it's very good massage! They allow walk-ins, but I recommend booking an appointment by phone. They can typically get you an appointment within a few hours as they have 3 floors of spa rooms and several massage therapists on staff. Great for couples massages also. Very relaxing ambience.
