    I booked a facial and massage for my birthday. I had booked them back to back, so I arrived an hour…read moreearly to enjoy the sauna and hot tub before my facial. Unfortunately as I was pulling in the manager called the let me know my masseuse had called in sick and they could only rebook my massage to start 1.5 hours after the original time. I was disappointed, but I made the best of it and thankfully had a flexible schedule that day. I ended up ordering tea and lunch from the Tea Bar. Unfortunately the matcha was out of stock, but I opted for another green tea and the crab cake. It was raining the day I was there so I didn't end up using the pool. I really like my facial with Ruth. She was amazing and had lovely energy. I would definitely rebook. My massage was okay, but despite a few requests for more pressure, I was told that was the max she could do. I have had a lot of massages, but have never encountered that before

    This review is a few months late. I visited in early October. I have been traveling and did not get…read morethe chance to write a complete review, especially because this one is negative. I decided to come here for a full spa day as a treat on my birthday. I booked a massage and wanted to hang out and use all the amenities available. I left very disappointed. I booked a deep tissue massage. I expected a relaxing and meditative experience, and let my masseuse know that I struggle with shoulder pain from playing tennis for years. He proceeded to walk me through a sort of physical therapy session? Like, imagine doing the physical therapy exercises/reps for tennis elbow. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing to do during a deep tissue massage but it wasn't exactly relaxing. I also don't think it was very effective since those sessions are typically done multiple times. He barely worked on the rest of my body and only focused on my right shoulder. After he was done, he didn't give me any time to relax by myself before telling me to get dressed and that my hour was up. After my massage session, I decided to use the hot tub and relax in the lobby, which was fine. There were minimal complimentary refreshments compared to some other spas i've been to. I wanted to get ready for the rest of my birthday (dinner with friends) at the spa so I decided to wash my hair. I brought my own hair dryer and my makeup products. In the middle of my shower, the power completely went out. There was no announcement from the attendants about what was going on. They just continued on as usual. I rinsed my hair out (in the dark!) but it was still wet and needed to be dried immediately. After asking an attendant, they said the power goes off regularly and that they had no clue when it would be back on. If I had known this, I would never have tried to get ready at the spa! I might not have even booked there. I had to leave the spa early and go home because my hair was very time sensitive. I did not get comped. I didn't even get an apology. I walked out of the spa into the cold day with fully wet hair on my birthday. Definitely not worth the price point it's at and should come with a warning tag about the power outages.

    It was really difficult getting hold of anyone live to discuss and confirm appointment. The space…read moreis smaller and with way fewer amenities than you might feel given the big spa feel you get from the website. The "spa" is literally the locker room and a steam room plus bathroom stalls and that's it. There are several other day spas in Marin with way better facilities, more diverse services with high availability and set up by comparison. Wouldn't come back here because the price point isn't warranted, felt like a tourist trap.

    It's not a bad in-town spa kind of place in Marin. And I understand they've just recently been…read moregetting the operation back up and running since the pandemic. The deep tissue massage I got was very good. Can't say it was the best I've ever had but definitely not the worst. Just don't expect it to be as big or grand as a five star resort or anything. It's located in the boutique style hotel which has been there for ages. It's small, yet nicely appointed. The staff were great, rooms were quiet. I enjoyed the outdoor lounge area. The rest of the place isn't much to see. There was one loud group of guys making noise/laughing loudly for a while down the steps from the lounges. Not sure if they were employees of the hotel or guests but it stopped after 10 minutes or so. With tight quarters you can't do much about that. The men's locker room was meh, clean, but small and kind of rank smelling like a local YMCA or something. Think that's due to it being so small and having a steam room, there's not great ventilation. Also thought it wasn't good that the urinals were so close to the sinks. Shower pressure not great. Parking is a bit tricky being downtown Sausalito. They give you a free parking pass if you go out and get it. Wish they'd email it to you ahead of time to be more convenient. Overall, it's ok and I may return under the right circumstances but I do prefer a more spacious type of spa with more amenities.
