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.

Her dog is so nice too. I really enjoyed playing with him. Very rare breed. The room is very comfy. They have two rooms. One is ice cold. I recommend the colder room. The massage table comfy. I would definitely come by and give her a try. When I am San Diego this will be my go to for massages! Thanks again for the amazing experience!

The short of it: outstanding. (& I'm a real massage snob)…read more Came to San Diego for a work trip and looked up massage places. I saw this was nearby and had good reviews. So I booked the earliest appointment that worked. I saw a lot of other reviews pointed out that it's inside the Westin, which is true. But they texted me very clear instructions on how to find them so I had no issues there at all. The establishment was impeccably clean. The staff was extraordinarily professional and well trained. Because of a scheduling hiccup, I ended up having two different massage therapist, but both of them were amazing. Truly. I have a regular massage therapist I see at home in New Orleans, so I try not to vary too much. But I end up traveling a lot for work. They did not disappoint. But knots in my shoulders and neck are much improved. If and when I come back to San Diego, I would go out of my way to book with them again

The lady that was giving me a massage seem to being a rush. For some reason. I wish she was giving me a massage made. It seem like she wasn't a rush, and even after the massage, she was nice up until she demanded a tip and when I gave her five dollars because I really paid 70. She still wanted more and I gave her 10, but that's when I already told her. No, I paid 70 already up the front. She didn't seem too happy and pretty much kicked me out the room. My cousin felt the same way about this place. Like I said the person. The man was very nice, but not coming back.

I asked for a deep tissue massage, but that's not what I received , instead I was groped. They also made me pay and tip before the massage, telling me I had to leave a $20 tip before anything even started. If the massage had been decent, I would not care, but it was a terrible experience and they did not deserve a tip. When I booked I figured the worst case would be a bad massage and I was willing to take that risk since it was the only thing open early and it was cheap. I never expected to get assaulted. Definitely not a place for a professional massage.

Dress as you please because it's a private room up to 2 people, so bring a friend or a lover to join. They shower you with drinks and sweets. I am so glad I found this place. The infrared felt like being in the car under the sun, where you want to take a nap. The best feeling. The hot bath tub, was my very first hot bath, so took time to slide my whole body in, but eventually acclimated. I do plan on coming back to try the massage package also. They provide razor, shampoo, conditioner, towel, face wash and face lotion. so leave those at home. Bring a loofa and body wash and a change of clothes. I felt very zen and slept really good the night of. Much needed! Thank you Essential! Recommending to my friends and family for sure.

I paid a deposit prior to booking, so she asked if i wanted to pay right away or later. I like to get things over with right away but I should have waited--probably could have gotten a discount for my complaints. I used the restroom before I was shown to my room and it was old, and dingy looking. Very outdated, and it smelled weird. The room seemed nice at first. She informed me that she wasn't able to fully close the door all the way but there was a curtain that could be pulled close. There was still a gap open so I felt exposed. There were two men who had just finished their massages and were getting ready to check out, and they walked past, I didn't like the fact that if they wanted to they could see me. They need to get that fixed... I looked to my left and there was the nice set up tub with snacks then I looked to my right along with a nightstand that had someones toiletry, items and used retainers!?!? There was also a tub filled up quarter of the way with dirty towels?? Idk. Didn't seem clean at all. I kept my crocs on. I got in the Sauna, my first time, that was okay. She asked if I wanted to shower and the shower was disgusting, so I didn't. The sauna was only supposed to be 20 minutes I believe according to my package but I was waiting for much longer for her to come and take me to my next room. The only good thing about this entire experience was my massage. I honestly didn't want to put my face in the hole because everything smelled funny to me. That was my only concern in that room. After I got over that the massage was great. BUT she used some kind of strongly mint scented oil and when we got to the front of my body it was very overwhelming. My overall experience was not great at all. I did not pay for this my significant other did and I feel so bad. But I give it two stars for customer service because she was very nice.
