    1) the front desk is always friendly and helpful, explaining the benefits to each of the balm/add…read moreons 2) the two times I've gone, both therapists have been stellar. I forgot the first persons name, but I recently had patty and she was excellent about listening to me and paid attention when something was too much/could do more. 3)parking is decent, but the entry to the lot comes up quick, so pay attention!!

    I attempted to book online the night before it stated a discounted price of $63 and when I tried to…read morecheck out the price was bumped up to $70 (I still paid the $70 not the $63). I called the following day multiple times to get a hold of someone to make an appointment for a massage plus hot stone. The initial interaction was very normal with the front desk staff. I can't say it was super clean spa since the previous spa I have been to give you shoes to change into at the front door. The hot stone was completely forgotten about, the front desk lady front to even tell the masseuse about it. The massage was okay nothing amazing. However, when I went to pay at the end the lady at the front desk expected a minimum of 30% "suggested" tip. And she was giving me the stank eye and asking if I'm sure about what I want to tip. I left her know I'm tipping based off service. She then proceeded to ask in a condescending voice, "then tell what your service experience then". If you paid your staff living wage you wouldn't be forcing people to pay 30%+ tip. Why don't you increase the prices because this seems like you're forcing and cornering customers to pay this. At this point it's not a "guideline" or a "suggestion". Tip is based off the service and the amount you're asking for is paid when you go above and beyond. One star for the masseuse being nice and a second star for taking a note of your previous injuries on a form. Edit: added to the interaction with the front desk and response to the owner. If you believe tipping is what makes your staff "fairly compensated" your wages are low. Not trying to be rude but that's just a fact. Let's do better, fair compensation is not on the customer.

    What a wonderful spot to retreat to. Had a day off and knew I needed to recharge. Didn't have time…read moreto head to the Korean spas that I usually frequent in KoreaTown, so this was the next best bet! This spa is everything that you would regularly expect from a Korean spa, and had all the amenities that are typical, without anything extra. A hot spa, a cool water area, saunas (wet and dry) and places to shower and rinse. Locker room was basic but I don't need any extra frills so we were all good there. I was grateful for the food service they had upstairs - a bit pricey but no problem trying especially if it's your first time. Lots of rooms with various temperatures to help you relax, detox, get energized, and feel refreshed upon leaving. You can easily spend a whole day here - it's that relaxing. Next time, I'll bring a book! And maybe take advantage of a body scrub and massage.

    I went there on Friday around 5pm, it is good that there is a free private parking lot. After I…read morepaid $33 entrance fee, the staff gave me towels only, (I have been to different Korean spa, clothes should be provided), he asked me what else I need, I said clothes, then he gave me the clothes. If I don't ask, they may not give me the clothes then I am not allowed to use the salt room and other rooms upstairs, which I paid already. Please don't forget to get your clothes! The spa looks clean, I took a shower, use the steam room, sauna and jaccuzzi. Then I changed to the clothes and went upstairs for salt room... There was a cedar wood femalesleeping room, are you supposed to sleep and be quiet there? The Korean women kept talking, phones making noise, how rude they were?
