    Curtains separate the rooms
    Amber S.

    I was not expecting to be writing this review. I purchased a Groupon for a 60-minute couples massage with hot stones and made an appointment with the owner for today at 5 pm. We arrived a few minutes early, were immediately greeted (the masseuses spoke very little English), asked for some water, and were brought to our "room," which was more of a space separated by curtains. The walls are paper thin, and we could hear music from the establishment next door, as well as all of the construction they were doing. From the get-go, I felt a bit uncomfortable, as I could understand the masseuses' Mandarin and could tell that there was a power dynamic between them. Immediately, my masseuse (I think her name was Jenny, but the owner told me I had been booked with Mia) was telling Tracy (my partner's masseuse) how to give the massage. Around 10 times, she made comments like, "Why are you using more than one towel to wipe her? No wonder we are running low on towels! You don't need to wipe all the oil off. They are going to shower after this anyways." Our masseuses also stepped out maybe three times to retrieve more materials. When it came time for our hot stone treatment, I was disappointed because it only lasted one minute (I'm not exaggerating). Also, during our massage, another client came in, and Jenny/Mia left for a few minutes to greet them. When she came back, she told Tracy that they needed to cut our session a few minutes short (they had started at 5:05 pm) in order to be done in time for the next one. She also told Tracy to stop applying more massage oil because it would take longer to clean up, and to use something that could sit on the skin/evaporate instead. I felt awful for Tracy, who seemed to try to advocate for us to receive the full and a high-quality massage. Jenny/Mia ended up wrapping up my massage first despite already having stepped out to speak with the next client earlier, and Tracy appeared to feel rushed to finish with my partner soon after. Tracy then asked if she could get my partner water, though she declined. I did go get myself some water after, and Jenny/Mia commented to Tracy, "So you're just going to make the customers get their own water?" Tracy appeared on the verge of tears, telling us that we did not need to tip her because she was still in training. We ended up tipping 20% on the total for both of us on my card (there is a $3 charge for each transaction), though it was difficult to communicate that we wanted the tip to be split between the two of them. I hope that Tracy still received her half of the tip, but I am not certain, as she had gone to the back of the business by the time we were able to be checked out. In terms of the quality of the massage, I feel sad to say that my partner and I both had really unpleasant experiences. My massage felt aggressive and rushed, and it was more uncomfortable than satisfying. I appreciate a massage that hurts in a good way, but this one hurt in a truly bad way. Unfortunately, it sounds like my partner had an even more disappointing experience, describing it as the worst massage she has ever gotten, and one she would decline even if free. She described her masseuse pressing really hard on her bones to the point where she would frequently shift her position to avoid this. Her underwear were also completely rolled down below her butt cheeks without a towel being placed over areas that were not being worked on, and she had to move her towel herself a few times. Otherwise, she felt like she did not really get a massage, as the pressure was too light, and essentially just had oil rubbed all over her. I hope this review does not ruin anyone's livelihood, but rather, that this can be taken as constructive feedback for the future. I am not sure why our experience was so terrible, given this establishment's otherwise great reviews. Perhaps they assign trainees to Groupon bookings? Regardless, we did not feel it was worth it and left in worse condition than we arrived.

    Great massage place.Mia is very hospitable the massage is amazing

We were a walk-in appointment, but they were quick to help accommodate us! We came back 5 minutes before the actual appointment time to check-in and their questionnaire was detailed allowing us to specify which areas of our body we wanted them to focus on, as well as if we had any allergies or problem areas. Once in the room, it was quite cramped, but nonetheless very relaxing and zen. The massage was one of the best ones I've had. They really take the time to assess your responses to the questionnaire, because the areas that I requested they focus on were immediately attended to. My whole body felt relaxed and rejuvenated afterward. Everyone there was so sweet, and they gave us tea before we left. I highly recommend visiting Sparadise Massage & Spa!

My son and I booked two 45 minute massages a few months ago, and only received a 35 minute massage. When I spoke with the front desk they told me there would be 5 min taken off for consult and another 5 minutes for after the massage. When I called today to book two more 45 minute massages the owner, Jackie, answered the phone and told me they were no longer going to accommodate me and instead needed to book me for 60 minute massages. And that, the 60 minute massage was in fact only 50 minutes hands on, and they would need 5 minutes in the beginning and 5 minutes at the end of the session. I have been getting massages for 20 years and this is the first time I have ever heard of this. Typically the time for the massage starts once the therapist starts and you get your full time, whether it's 45 min or 60 min (not 10 minute less!). Beware of this place as you might get short changed on what you pay for. Not sure how this place has so many five star reviews as the owner was very rude on the phone.

    DO NOT GO HERE! ( now changed name to Spa Space Story Thai Massage)…read more Imagine feeling achy and sore, only to not only feel completely stressed out during your massage (because you cannot communicate with your therapist at all), but to leave even more stressed out and upset than when you arrived. I called to schedule a massage, and the gentleman asked if I wanted a 60-minute or 90-minute massage. I confirmed that I wanted a 90-minute massage. Once I arrived and went into the room, I tried to explain to the therapist that I needed the headrest adjusted and a pillow placed under my legs. My therapist then had to ask the gentleman at the front to come into the room to adjust the headrest and complete the setup that should've already been done. During the massage, I asked several times for adjustments or for her to focus on specific areas, and she could not understand me. Even at the beginning of the massage, I asked if she could use oil instead of lotion because it was pulling out my skin too much, and when she did not understand me, I had to lift my head up and pick it up out of her basket to show her and ask her to use the oil. I'm sorry, but that should not have happened. Then, once I turned over, we went back and forth for way too long because I simply wanted a pillow under my head. At this point, I was so stressed out and just hoping the massage would get better... It did not. Also, the notes I had written on the intake form before the massage were completely ignored. Not only was this massage stressful, it was a 60-MINUTE massage, not the 90-minute massage I booked!!! When I came to the front and looked at the time on my phone, I asked the girl at the front (different from the guy I initially spoke with) why my massage was cut short. She told me it was only scheduled for 60 minutes. All she did was apologize and say she would only charge me for 60 minutes. She could see how frustrated and upset I was and didn't offer to do anything else other than charge me. I'm so disappointed and normally do not post negative reviews, but this place is TERRIBLE!!! The communication was awful, my requests were ignored, and I didn't even receive the massage I booked!!! Again... DO NOT GO HERE
