I was in need of a good massage after a stressful few weeks at work and some lower back pain and…read moreThe Royal Thai Spa did not disappoint! I decided to make a same-day appointment for a deep tissue massage on a Monday and it was easy to make an appointment online. One thing that I appreciated was that the person at the front desk called me ahead of my appointment and asked what kind of pressure I liked as it was my first time visiting. She said she wanted to ensure that I was matched with a staff member who would best fit my preferences to ensure I had a good experience. I don't think I've had that done before the actual appointment at any other place so that was thoughtful. They even offered to take me in earlier if I was available. Once I walked in, I could tell it would be relaxing as the environment was very quiet and peaceful. As soon as I was out in a room and ready for the massage, the staff made sure I was comfortable and asked if I had any areas I wanted them to focus on, to which I answered my lower back. I liked that they even checked in once they started applying more pressure to make sure it was okay. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience and as someone who sometimes tenses up during massages because it's too much, was able to a actually relax during my appointment and even dosed off a little. Even afterwards, my body feels great and the lower back pain has definitely improved! Overall, I would recommend coming here and would definitely come back to try their other packages.

Lupe provided clear instructions on how to find the suite, as well as a heads up about parking on Saturdays when there is a nearby farmers market. It made arriving seamless. The suite itself is very relaxing. I was soon brought back to the massage room. We discussed my problem areas (neck, shoulders, upper back, and jaw). She definitely made sure to target those areas. The massage was everything I needed and more. I had never had a Myofascial massage before, so I wasn't sure what to expect other than what I had read online. It involved long strokes, stretching of muscles (and holding some of those stretches for 5 minutes), cupping, and digging into some really tense areas. The CBD was a great addition to add some extra relaxation. 70 minutes was a good amount of time to get to all target areas. I will absolutely be back and hope my husband will agree to getting one as well!

I arrived on time and waited about 20 minutes at an completely empty reception area with no one there to assist me. I texted the owner, who said she was checking on the status of her employee. I waited but didn't receive an update until I finally messaged that I was leaving. At that point, I was told the employee had been in a car accident. I completely understand that emergencies happen, and I hope everyone involved is okay. However, the lack of communication was frustrating. If the employee was unable to make the appointment, I would have appreciated being notified as soon as possible rather than arriving, waiting 20 minutes with no one there, and having to repeatedly reach out myself for an update. Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience and a waste of my time.
