I was in Baltimore for only 2 nights and was looking for a float nearby while I was in town. And…read moreI'm so grateful I stumbled upon Red Lotus. I was running late and when I called to inform them I was assured to take my time and that my float would be there when I arrived. I was greeted and shown the facilities. I have not been to a float location with all the assistive technology they had. They had pool noodles that Diane (I hope that was their name) said they offered for people with back issues. She offered them to me because I had a cut on my finger, so sweet. They had thick neck noodles ( I didn't love, but I can imagine would be great for folks who want more neck support). Diane offered me cap for my hair, not sure if it was cause I was Black, bit I really appreciated that there was the option which I also have never experienced at another float spa. The rooms were very spacious and so were the tanks. Once the lights on the outside went out it was completely dark and completely quiet. The water was a bit cool for my preferences, but not distractingly so, I soon forgot about the coolness. They had all the essentials and what you would expect in the room to prepar. They also have the bright orange/yellow ear plugs that you seal your ear with but a smaller (and better in my opinion) size then what I've seen before. Afterwards there is a cute dressing space for doing hair and stuff. And a cute little sitting area to ease into returning out in the world. Diane brought me a tea menu and brought me a nice hot cup of tea as I waited for my car service to pick me up. I did not feel rushed out even though I was late and had the last appointment of the night. It was a delightful experience and I definitely will be back if I return to Baltimore!

I saw this place on Groupon and had some Groupon bucks I needed to use so I figured it would be a good opportunity to try them out with low risk/cost. It was easy to make an appointment but a simple phone call. When I arrived for my massage the check in process was easy as well. Just a quick questionnaire and I waited in the comfortable seating area. After a few minutes of waiting I was called back. The room was clean and well maintained. After disrobing down to my shorts I relaxed on the massage table. The massage a received hurt so good lol. It was very intense but definitely needed. By the end it felt like I had went to the gym but the results were beneficial. My back was not as tight and I felt relaxed. I will probably go back again monthly. They have expected evening and even weekend availability. I don't do massages

Hope Floats helped save my life. If you dare think I'm the tiniest bit hyperbolic, I'll say to you:…read moreHope Floats and the passionate, knowledgeable, kind staff have been instrumental in the recovery of my body, mind and soul. Since joining Hope Floats, for a monthly membership fee that pays for itself within the first week of each month I've been coming here -- I have lost over fifteen pounds, I have eliminated what-had-been chronic back pain (lower and upper, which I had not even realized until all the pressure in all the joints throughout my body had been alleviated within the first fifteen minutes of my very first session of floatation therapy. The help I have received at Hope Floats for well over a year now has allowed me to maintain a pain-free lifestyle that is only becoming more and more active; however, the physical therapy of floating, along with consistent infrared, full-spectrum sauna, is not even the most important reason I return to Hope Floats. I can meditate when I once never could. In the tank, I have reached states of meditation in which, deprived of any light source within the tank, I see light of variegated tones--most often and most consistency of the purple and white variety. Now, I have wanted to believe others when they told me about their experience with meditation and have listened when they described the transcendental states experienced during such meditation, but I couldn't without experience of my own, which I've found in the floatation therapy offered by the lovely folks at Hope Floats. Lastly, I would not write anything resembling the above review were it not based on 100% lived-experience and seek soothing recovery at Hope Floats. -- Mike K

Alexandria, VA - my third time floating and I finally decided to try a float pod. Previously I had…read moreexperienced the more open float cabin. Sort of like stepping into an extra, extra big shower stall but with a float tub instead of a shower. I wondered if the pod would be claustrophobic when I shut the lid but not so. Firstly, I could sit up if I wanted without banging my head on the lid. Secondly, the lid has a pretty lighted star pattern. So when I laid back and relaxed into the just the right temperature water, it felt like I was looking out onto a big window of stars. And then I closed my eyes and had the very most relaxing hour. If one wants complete darkness theres a button for the starlight too. I will definitely return in the future.

Alexandria, VA - I purchased a Groupon for a float and decided a Friday night was a great time to…read morecheck it out. I noted in other reviews that it's mandatory to arrive 30 minutes early for first float orientation. This fact wasn't emphasized when I called to make my appointment so I can see why there might be some confusion. Perhaps setting first appointments for 1.5 hours might make this more clear. Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly staff person who requested I put on plastic slippers and leave my shoes begin. This was a nice touch. Later I noted the slippers are soaked in a cleaning solution. I appreciate this as the slippers can then be reused. Next the staff person gave me a quick tour and showed me to the video room. The video was one part advertisement, one part orientation and one part sales pitch to buy a franchise. This last bit seemed a little much given I hadn't tried the float yet but i understand this is business. I returned to the lounge to wait my turn. A previous floater had just come out and the staff asked how things had gone. Apparently the shower didn't function well but the float was good. My turn came up and I was escorted back. I noted there were multiple float pod rooms. I was given a quick orientation to the room. The staff person opened the pod and said "This is where the magic happens!" All I can say here is there must be a generational difference in this phrases meaning. The staff person left and I turned on the shower. Ice cold water streamed out. I fiddled with the tap trying to get some warmth. Eventually managed some lukewarm water after a great amount of time. Then I couldn't shut the tap off!! My float time was beginning as I heard the narrator began her instructions. Finally got the shower down to a trickle and stepped in. The water here was warm clean and comfortable. It took my shower jangled nerves a while to calm down but when I did I had an excellent float experience. The end of the float was signaled by a loud door chime tone. The shower situation was no better. This time it was scalding hot water. Really took me right out of relaxation mode pretty quickly. I left the room for some oxygen bar time. The staff person set me up quickly and asked how the soak was. I noted all the shower issues. She acknowledged them and said she could add a note to my file so I would be in a different room Next time. This part mystified me. Why not give new customers the best experience this time? Additionally she noted that the prior customer had said the same thing about the shower. Apparently we had both been in the same room. There were other rooms so I don't understand why subject customers to a non working shower. Overall the float was great, staff was kind, the place was clean, but I wouldn't return based on the shower issues.
