Despite living in Hoboken for nearly two decades, this was my first visit to Moonlight Spa. I've…read moregotten massages at several other places in the square mile, but none were ever quite this affordable. Moonlight is a no-frills establishment. They don't have you fill out a health questionnaire when you arrive. There's no choice of scented oils or aromatherapy in the room. It's not fancy or especially inviting inside. The sheets and blankets on the massage tables are worn. They move very fast to get you in and out. That being said, my $55 hour massage was great , much better than the $200 massage I got at SoJo last year. I was able to make an appointment for myself and my husband a day prior - it was a weekday, so I figured they'd have availability. I wasn't expecting them to have a room for couples, but when we arrived, they brought us right to a room with dual massage tables. We were a little early, so they got started with us early - very efficient. The hot stones felt great on my back. The reason I'm knocking them a star is the noise level. We heard a lot of background noise: the spa's phone ringing, employees talking and moving about. They did have relaxing music playing in the room, but it didn't completely tune out the noise outside the curtain. It didn't take away from my massage experience, though. My expectations for this establishment were met. If you just want to feel good without breaking the bank and are OK without all the pomp and circumstance, this is your place.

I have always gone to Moonlight, because I pass by them daily and they are good value. I recall…read morewhen I was told that they had a second spot nearby, Alley Spa, opening up. This afternoon I popped into Moonlight and inquired if they had any availability from 5 pm on. I was told they were fully booked. On a whim, I called Alley Spa, despite surmising that, as they are run by the same people, they too were included in the "fully booked" equation. Nope, I called at 5:30 pm and got a 6:15 appt. Alley Spa is adorable. My room had a mantle for my smaller belongings, with cute decorations, and it seemed so welcoming. The whole spa seemed more relaxed than Moonlight, and the woman working the desk opined that they were slow. I asked her why the woman at Moonlight didn't refer me to them, since it's the same owner? She seemed confused too. Next time I'll skip Moonlight and go to Alley Spa. It seemed less of an assembly line, and I appreciated the decorative touches.

The massage was decent but convenient. They were also able to accommodate me on the same day…read more However beware the front counter asks for a mandatory 20% tip. Whether you liked the massage or not. I'm not sure if this is a NJ law or if it is written on the website. But I don't think anyone has the right to demand a particular % of tips. Additionally the front counter lady yelled extensively at me when I refused and paid only a smaller percentage!

The owner Mollie was very responsive and helpful with the booking process. She also proactively followed up via text to check on my experience as a first-timer, and to fix a small payment miscommunication before I even made it all the way back home. As for the massage and facility itself I enjoyed the small touches like slippers and water/tea. The aromas are really pleasant, and my massage therapist Kim was fantastic. He found my usual tension very quickly but also uncovered some gnarly other spots I didn't know were there. I know they're doing serious good work when I feel relaxed yet walk out a teeny bit nauseous and sniffly! It's not the cheapest prenatal massage option but I'm glad to have chosen here anyway, given the excellent service and experience this team seems to have with pregnant clients.

I felt like there was little regard to a peaceful environment as the aesthetician was having a conversation with somebody during the service. There was not enough set up in terms of preventing my clothing from getting stained or removing my jewelry, she just did the mask around it, and when I left, I had a lot of mask still on my shoulders and in my ears. There were several points in the service where product would get into my eyes and burn, and caused blurry vision. I personally felt like the extractions were not done well, and one of the holes in my skin will scar. I would not recommend and I will not be returning.

The couples massage room was so comfortable and calming, I instantly loved it.

The therapist I had didn't seem properly trained (not sure if she's licensed). It felt more like she was just applying oil rather than delivering an actual massage.

Your experience will likely vary depending on who you get.
