In San Diego for a quick work trip and decided last minute to book a massage instead of sitting in…read moremy hotel room...Best decision! I called around 6:30pm on a Thursday and they got me in immediately at 7pm, which already felt like a win. There was a small mix-up when I arrived (they didn't have a record of my call, maybe I talked to a masseuse & she forgot to note it), but the receptionist didn't even hesitate. She said "no worries" and still fit me in. The way that was handled alone earned points! I did a deep tissue massage with hot stones with Lily. WOW. 10/10 recommend. She went to absolute war with the knots in my shoulders in the best way possible. One of the best massages I've had in a long time, and shockingly affordable for how good it was. I walked out feeling completely relaxed and de-stressed. I liked it so much that the next morning I actually called back just to ask for Lily's name so I could write this review properly. Had to give credit where it's due. Pro tip: pay cash. They use a green tea oil and even give you a face mask if you do. I will 100% be back next time I'm in San Diego.

She is a true healer, and is very gifted in treating lingering injuries. I've been grappling with arthritis in my hands, and have an old shoulder injury that keeps dragging me down. Itzel does great pressure point work and also active stretches that have been very beneficial to my healing. She is professional, courteous, and superhumanly strong! I'm very grateful to have exceptional care at the Knotstop with Itzel and Ryan! Pro tip, treat yourself to the membership. I get the 90 minute massage deal for $135 for deep tissue, you can't beat it! Also, for a more chill experience, check out when you check in! That way you don't have to go to the front desk twice. I square up at the front desk when I check in, that way, I don't have to go back after my massage and deal with any details. I always tip my Massage Therapist in cash after the appointment.

I've been here twice now, as have a couple of my friends and we all have had a "meh" experience. My…read moremain issue is with the front desk. The first time I came here over a year ago, the front desk guy wasn't friendly and it didn't start my massage in a relaxing headspace. Today, the front desk had two people there and after I was checked in, neither of them thought to tell me there's a lounge that I can sit in while I wait. I'm very obviously nine months pregnant and it's hard to walk down the block at this point. After you check in, you're in this tight spaced gift shop area with no seating and I wasn't sure what to do until I saw a guy in a walker make his way through a room that said lounge across the top. After my massage was done today, I was back in that little gift shop area waiting to check out and pay for my massage. The lady checking out before me took a while so I was just standing there, exhausted with nowhere to sit. I very clearly remember giving the gift card number I was given when I reserved the appointment online, so it was also annoying that when I finally got up to pay, they dint have any of this information. These seems like small things, but they all add up to me having to put in more effort when I'm paying to set time aside to relax.

Located 3659 India street, San Diego, CA. It's in conjunction with other businesses and very limited parking. They do have a few designated parking spot for the massage place. The business area was very welcoming, spacious and airy. Upon entry, I was greeted and taken to the room. My masseuse name is Amy. She was great! She listened to what my body needed, I like light massages with a little firm pressure points. She was very professional and gentle. I will definitely go to Amy for all of my future massages. Overall, very clean space. Great hygiene practice from the staff. They are friendly. Restroom for customers use. Tip: they match Groupon prices if paid in cash!

We when arrived, we had to wait 10 minutes which wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the employees whispering and peaking around the corner at us while we were in the lobby. They put us in a room together which we didn't ask for, like a couples massage, they just assumed. I asked for the masseuse to be more gentle when she started and I'm not sure if she understood me well because she wasn't that gentle. The worst part was the hot stones. They were too hot for the masseuse the handle but they tried to put them on us anyway. We had to have them remove it on our bill because they were too hot to put them on anybody or anything! They even left burn marks on my back. The spa is also covered in dust, the fish tank is disgustingly filthy, and had a musty smell in the rooms. They also refused to give a refund for the horrible service that was provided. The owner and employees will not take responsibility for their actions and inactions (see the owners response below). I have also updated my pictures with timestamps of the burn in question. I still have the mark 2 weeks later and it didn't show up right away, before we left the spa. I am also not from California nor do I live there to have the time to go back. I would never recommend this place.
