I'm giving then 4 stars however if there would be an option for 3 1/2 stars I would certainly choose that option. There was only one person on staff at the time I came and she was still the only one there when I left. I wondered if anyone came in at that time for service who would assist them, since she was busy with me. She gave me a great massage and even gave me a little extra time. I think her name is Anna, she was friendly sweet and extremely pleasant. Overall, the massage was great! However, she does not understand a word of English and when I say not a word I mean not a word. So the only way to communicate with her was through google translation. Before the massage I didn't mind talking to her through google translation since I'm very accepting of others. However, at times in middle of my massage she was a little to tough and it hurt. I said ouch, don't think she understood to go lighter and I wasn't going to use google translation in middle of my peaceful massage. My overall experience was great and was easily noticed by my difficulty in accepting that the massage was actually over ! Your serious??? That hour flew by! As a btw their price is phenomenal for one hour is 50 dollars! Oh, and don't forget to tip! To make a long story short, overall great experience with some language barriers!! But that won't keep me from coming back! read more

Terrible- would not honor a Groupon - tried to tack on extra fee. I do not understand why businesses do this if they are trying to attract customers. Stay away! read more

website said $60 for an hour facial. when we got to the checkout she asked for $80. i gave four 20s and asked for 10 back...she said no you have to tip 20%. the place was not worth $90. would not recommend & got scammed out of $30. after we left, she chased us to our car and said sorry the price was different because she forgot to edit the menu. did not offer the money back, just told us rent went up and it costs a lot to keep the place running. shady read more

Great massage. Adjusted the pressure to my desired level. Included a few stretches that hit the spot. Gave extra focus on the trouble areas I mentioned. read more

Forget those big chain spa' s you get what you pay for a Royal spa 60min is 60min of massage. Not like the big chains you are lucky to get 45min I go with my wife and enjoy our visit every time. Walk in with aches and pains and walk out feeling great if you are in the Howell area and looking for a great massage you have to try Royal Spa. read more

I signed up for a hot stone massage. The price looked really good, so I thought, why not? The massage was way too rough. I tried to communicate to the massage therapist that it was too rough, but her English was extremely limited, and it continued to hurt. At times, my body was squirming from discomfort. I thought maybe it would get better or that I would feel that it got all the knots out after. Well, I did not feel better later and ended up with a dark, large bruise on my back and a smaller bruise nearby also. Unacceptable. The massage therapist also lowered my underwear pretty far without asking. Consent is very important, and I would imagine this would make many people feel uncomfortable. I understand doing some glute work, but proper draping did not take place, so I was very exposed. It makes me doubt that they've gone through proper training or if they are even licensed to practice. Just wanted to warn everyone to avoid this place. read more

I have been coming here for years and love this place. The massages are excellent and they ALWAYS ask me about the pressure as well as keep me covered up. When I want a deep tissue massage that is EXACTLY what I get. When I need a softer touch like yesterday, they put me in lala land:). They also ask if I want hot stone. Cyndi has been outstanding and I appreciate her expertise. read more

So... My father, who is an elderly gentleman, had been suffering from muscle pain in his back for several days. It was bothering him so much that he actually wanted to go get a massage. I called Royal Spa because I have seen their sign and wanted to support a small business rather than send him to a corporate chain location. He got a 30 minute deep tissue massage which cost $35 according to their price list on their website. When my father came home, during the course of conversation, he informed me that he paid $85 in cash for his massage! I called right away and was more than adamant that they were to refund him the $50 immediately! It took me 5 minutes to get there. They called me while I was on my way to inform me that they would refund the $50 and I could leave a $5 or $10 tip for the girl. He had laid the money out on the counter and said to the girl, "$85, right?" And she took the money KNOWING the massage was only $35! They didn't hesitate to give me the money which only proved THEY KNEW THEY WERE WRONG! They did their job, he got a 30 minute massage, but did they honestly think an elderly gentleman was leaving a $50 tip? PLEASE!!! They tried to steal $50 from my father! They took advantage! Just wanted to warn everyone of their shady business practices. read more

I must say this is the best deep tissue massage I have ever had, absolutely amazing!!! Very relaxing and the stones were an added touch definitely recommend read more

This might have been the best deep tissue massage I've ever had. I have chronic tension in my shoulder and upper back, and the therapist paid attention to every spot, some I didn't even know were troubling me. She checked in on the pressure and made sure I was doing well, and I felt so much better leaving than I did coming in. I will definitely be coming back on a regular basis. read more

Just got back from this place, first time ever since I just moved to the area. Woman was nice, ok massage kept just using her elbow though. Barely hands on my back to massage out the knots. When it was time to pay, I gave her 20 bucks and said just give me 10 back and you keep the rest. At first, she tried to make it like she didn't have change, then said well $5 back you were " hard" my elbows hurt you were so tense. I proceeded with excuse me, she said we get 20 percent tip. Look on the board, for next time. I told her 10 was fine for what she did. Just because of this, I will NOT be back! I thought that was super rude, demanding another 2 bucks, and stating her elbows hurt. I go for massages 2x a month, and never got that treatment towards paying ever. Rude and unwanted in my opinion. read more

Amazing job! I love it here. My boyfriend and I had the couples massage. It was quiet, professional and custom to our liking. We will definitely be back! read more

Great massage. Professional, clean & relaxing environment. Price is reasonable. Best massage/facial studio in Howell, without a doubt.

This is a very nice spa. The masseuses are all incredibly friendly and very competent. In the past I've seen Mary a few times, she's small as in petite but very strong and gives a good deep pressure massage. She has a good routine that allows her to most the spots and if you ask her to focus on some particular areas she will. read more

Great experience. Clean and friendly and the deep tissue massage was excellent. Will definitely go again

Went their for the first time today and I was blown away. Definitely the best massage I have ever had and looking to take my wife for a session. Clean, nice staff and right across the parking lot from my foot doctors office. Definitely do the hour and half session for $80 plus tip! What I also like is that I don't half to worry about cops busting the place, very professional and clean! read more

This place gives a great massage. I am a member of H&S, but I prefer the massages here. They are a new business and the owner seems to be trying to do everything herself. Please give this place a chance, you won't be disappointed. Oh and guys....this is a legit professional massage place! Sorry, lol read more

Massage was ok. Unable to provide the therapeutic massage for my neck that I requested. I asked for a neck and shoulder concentrated massage however they were unable to provide what I asked. I woke up the next day with worse neck pain than when I went in. Price was good but you get what you pay for. read more

What a great experience! The quality of work is far superior than any other place in the local are with very competitive prices. Atmosphere is nice and staff is very friendly! I would recommend anyone to go. read more

I have been to several different places to get massages. This business is by far the best at giving the best massage ever. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and if you have specific areas you would like them to focus on just ask. read more

Extraordinary massage - one of the best I've had - and I'm a big guy who likes it strong. And for fifty an hour? Incredible. It looks modest on the outside, and it's not a spa-spa with a relaxation room or showers/baths, but for a good massage it's terrific. The person running it was professional, accommodating, had rooms for couples and single - and was able to make a reservation for three people a day ahead. I only wish they didn't have that ticking clock sound or the FM music. Otherwise, perfect. read more

Had SI joint problems and was advised to try a very deep tissue massage, I used Anna at Royal Spa, I don't mean to scare anyone I just want to give you the heads up that it was the most uncomfortable massage I have ever experienced, but about 2 hours after the massage my back pain was totally gone and I mean gone. I was good for about 2-3 days and then pain started creeping back, had another massage, this time less discomfort. I try to go once a week and to date my lower back pain has improved by 95%. Anna really has working knowledge of the muscles. Glute muscles are very uncomfortable when VERY DEEP tissue massage is applied, but if you can suck it up and endure the pain you will be better off in the long run. Anna does not understand a word of English, but if you point to the problem area she knows exactly what to do and how to treat it. Good luck, and it will get better. read more
