Made a phone call and booked a time and got in within a couple of days - they are extremely accommodating! When we arrived they were very prompt, kind, and professional. Didn't know what to expect as we were from out of town; however, we were pleasantly surprised how attentive they were to our needs. I've never had a massage this thorough for such a reasonable fee. I've spent a lot of money at different resorts and always left disappointed in how inadequate the massage was. Next time we are in town we will book an appointment! Highly recommend them to all!

This was my first time at the particular foot rub/massage place and it was rather interesting…read more Honestly, I would give them four stars, but there were a couple uncomfortable things for me. $40 gets you a great hour long foot rub which was incredibly relaxing, granted it was somebody else next to me. And while my feet were soaking, my knees were bent as I laid down on a bed. This is my own preference, but I have bad knees, so bending my knees for a good 20 minutes while they were soaking in the relaxing water And therapeutic bubbles for my feet on my knees. One could not tell they were with other people in the same room because you wore a mask that was beautifully scented and very relaxing. I close my eyes even though I had a mask on but I could still randomly hear other people. Lol like I said for 40 bucks you can't really beat the price, but there were some parts that were a bit uncomfortable. The massage was adequate for my feet and neck and back, but I did have a knot in my shoulder on the left side, but the lady didn't really get the knot out. So I went to my acupuncturist instead. When I saw my acupuncturist at Gen Acupuncture in Sunnyvale California, she was able to get the knot out of my back/shoulder area. I digress, for Petaluma, and 40 bucks cash. Perhaps next time I'll get a full body massage and get a private room so I can fully lay down and just bring more cash with me next time. They charged more for credit card use so I was lucky I had cash on me at the time. Yet, This can't be beat, but because I'm picky I think I'll just stick to a pedicure and my acupuncturist for help in Sunnyvale. My pedicurist is in Campbell, California at Thao's Organic Nails. You can Yelp both companies.

I adore their option for a minimum of 30 minutes on massage session since I just decided last minute to want one while we are in downtown for only a couple of hours or so. They were available as well. It was a rejuvenating break and one can't beat $25 for half hour anywhere! If the decor and ambiance is a bit better, it would be more refreshing. Other than that, convenience, flexibility and pricing can't be beat!

They demanded that I tip before I left. I asked how much (20% was advertised) and the lady told me $10 (instead of $8). $54 for a 25 minute massage. Way overpriced right? I'd happily pay it if it was worth it...but it wasn't...I only laid on my stomach. I have been to massage studios where you flip after 15 min. Also, my body was covered with a disposable cloth the entire time and massaged through the cloth. Needless to say, this place is an entire rip-off and a complete and utter disappointment. I thought Petaluma had better to offer but this establishment came up short. Those were Hollywood prices for slumlord service.
