When we checked in there was complimentary ice cream, champagne, water, and even cookies. The in room amenities include a mini bar, safe, HUGE bathroom. It can also get hot in Texas so it was nice to have a fan in order to quickly cool down. The pool at the top of the property is unique. We didn't use it much but apparently very few hotels have rooftop views. You can access the riverwalk from the hotel via the elevator and access tunnel next to Ostra. The only negative was there was only one elevator working due to renovations but otherwise a great experience.

Had another awesome 1-hour Wellness Massage with "E" who is going to graduate soon. She's one of…read morethe best students I have ever had and I would say she's almost as good as some Rolfers and professional massage therapists I've had in the past!! She has a knack for pinpointing knots and tight areas and uses a scale from a 1-8 with 1 being the least achiness and 8 being the most achy. She communicates well and is very in tune with pressure points and if you need for her to back off when working on an area until it releases. It "hurts so good" so to speak and "no pain, no gain" is what I keep repeating to myself when she's working on an area until it releases. I'm breathing thru the pain, LOL!! I usually have her work on specific areas that are tight and this visit she asked if I it was okay to do some stretches as my left hip and quad were tight. That helped as well. I think "E" is well on her way to success and I told her she could work even at the Stretch Lab! I am impressed with the students that I've had here and their dedication to the craft. The quality and ambiance is as close to other Massage establishments I've been to but with very affordable pricing and frequent discounts usually during the holidays. I take advantage of their bundle promos. Parking can be a little hard to find close to the school as there are restaurants surrounding them. Leave enough time to find parking and for checking in. Bathrooms are very clean and tidy. There's also a hot/cold water dispenser near the lobby by the bathrooms so you can hydrate. The front desk gets busy in case you have to book an appointment over the phone ie using a gift card. You'll either have to try early in the morning or late in the day, otherwise you'll have to leave a voicemail. The chat option online is pretty basic and won't be able to solve any complex issues or gift-card bookings. It just default-answers you back to the website or phone number.

Hunter was very kind, polite, and genuinely seemed eager to learn, and I appreciate the effort he…read moreput into my services. I do think he has the potential to become a great therapist with more training and experience. That said, I often felt like I had to help guide him through the appointment, which made it difficult to fully relax. The transitions between services felt awkward and rushed. Before my final service, I was asked to get completely dressed, even though my friend was able to come out in a bathrobe. I ended up sitting there cold and fully dressed while waiting, which made me feel like the schedule and student rotations were taking priority over the client experience. This appointment was a birthday celebration for me, and as a single mom, I don't get many opportunities to be pampered. I was really looking forward to feeling cared for and relaxed, but unfortunately, that wasn't how the experience felt. I understand this is a learning environment, and I truly wish him the best because he was kind and respectful. With additional training, smoother transitions, and a stronger focus on the client's comfort, I believe he'll continue to improve. For anyone celebrating a special occasion, I would simply recommend asking about the experience level of the student you're scheduled with so your expectations match the experience.

Unfortunately, that ended up being a mistake. The location is inside a gym and has the appearance of an abandoned space, which was already concerning. After booking my appointment, it was canceled the same day and I was asked to reschedule. I agreed, but when I showed up for the new appointment, I waited 15 minutes and no one showed up. I reached out and never received a response. I genuinely like supporting small businesses--that's one of the reasons I love Yelp--but this experience felt extremely unprofessional and disappointing. I would recommend saving your money and looking elsewhere for a massage!

Now the last time I went I felt so so disappointed. Sadly now writing reviews they are getting only one star from me! There are a couple of new faces... I got assigned a female... ok no problem. She started the massage and pause and then pause... I am looking at my friend next to me her masseuse is going to town doing his job! Mine... nothing! Then she decided to leave! Another guy came and all he did was rub and rub. I asked more than 5 times to please make it harder maybe he realize he need to give me a massage and pressure points not just rub... he pretended to not understand English even though they translated to him. Usually they wipe your feet after the lotion and oil with a hot wet towel... he did none of that! I almost slipped when I left I had to buy wet towels to wipe them to be able to walk What was more disappointing is at the end trying to share your experience at the front desk... you get brushed off! Well... this is the only place that charge decently in town. Yes I will go back but I will refuse service from any of the new masseuses

This was, without a doubt, the WORST massage experience I've ever had. Based on numerous five-star…read morereviews, I had high expectations for my recent visit to Healing Foot Body. However, the outcome was nowhere near what I expected from a place with such high customer ratings. I arrived and was greeted by a lady who was to be my assigned therapist. She pointed out the posted massage options and prices, and I chose the one-hour body massage for $80. I'm used to a therapist getting things started by asking me questions and identifying problem areas in advance. In this case, there was little to no concern or empathy about any of that. Just an impersonal "walk this way, take your clothes off and lie on the table." Unfriendly and very unwelcoming. Not a good way to set the right tone for a good client experience. My session began and it was clear early on that I was NOT in the presence of a well-trained massage therapist. Instead of the lightly applied massage lotion I'm accustomed to, she smothered her hands with it and slathered it all over my back, arms and palms. I could feel the oily residue slowly seeping into my skin. As things progressed, she spent a longer than necessary amount of time on certain areas, and completely ignored others. To make matters worse, her "technique" was not therapeutic by any means. I sensed a very limited knowledge of pressure points, muscle tissues, etc. I felt awkward, tense and uncomfortable, definitely not relaxed. I started to wonder if this would get any better. About two-thirds into the massage, I had to excuse myself to use the restroom. When I returned, she rubbed a wet, abrasive towel harshly over my back, presumably to remove excess lotion. I felt like I was being scraped with damp sandpaper. It's been a few days since my visit, and my back is still irritated from that unexpected torture. Then, as if things couldn't get worse, she finished by randomly slapping my back and legs with both hands, in the most comical way possible. Like a two-year-old splashing in a bathtub. She wrapped it up by passively saying, "OK that's one hour" and then just walked out of the room. I sat up on the massage table and tried to make sense of what had just happened. And why someone this poorly trained, unfriendly and unsympathetic could possibly be allowed to treat a massage client. This was the first time ever that I spent an entire massage session on my stomach. No direction to lie on my back for any front body treatment. Since she was the only one present at the time, I couldn't lodge a complaint with a manager. So I just paid my $80 plus tip and walked out, feeling completely cheated and far from satisfied. Not only do I fault the therapist for her lack of skill and empathy, but I also hold the business responsible for failing to ensure quality service from its staff. Despite my unpleasant experience, I hope others who choose to get a massage at Healing Foot Body have a much better outcome than mine.

It's right next door to the PX on base so if you want to take a break from your wife while she shops, GET A MASSAGE. Trust me, it's worth your time. Make sure you know what you're asking for. If you say I want a deep tissue massage, trust me they are going to give you what you asked for. I walked out of there hurting so good. They also have home therapy products that you can use. Now on the other side of the coin, the establishment is small and clearly a startup that will only improve over time. The products used to build the place up are obviously cheap but I'm confident in a few years they will really be rocking it! If you're looking for all of the beautiful decor that relaxes you, this isn't the place. It's pretty bare but a good start. Will be coming back. Enjoy your day by choice -Ken

I always get a deep tissue massage and ask for a female masseuse with strong hands bc I like/need a lot of pressure. I was given a 5 ft older lady who gave me essentially a body rub the majority of the time. I asked for more pressure twice and momentarily got what I was looking for before it went back to the same thing. It's in my top 3 worst massages of 2025 so far. What I got was essentially a relaxing/ Thai rub massage. Very disappointing. The other disappointing part was that the pool's bar was closed the whole day. The only way to order anything was through room service which was weird. Nice hotel with good amenities, but I definitely would not recommend a massage there.
