TLDR: Whelp... that was awkward. I literally can't find a single bright spot in my interaction with Sunlight Massage. Next!
Visit: Weekend
Service (requested): 60 min. Massage
Rating: .01/10
From the beginning to the conclusion, there were a lot of red flags during my visit. For starters, as I walked in, there was an obnoxiously loud door chime that echoed throughout the establishment. I'm certain this would ruin any calming vibe were someone to be getting a massage. Then... nothing. The place was dark and empty. From behind the curtains to my right I could hear what I can only assume was a Chinese tv/talk show playing quietly... I heard a "Hello?!" and as I responded... nothing. "Hello?!" I heard again, to which I announced myself for the second time. A few seconds later a woman peered slowly out from behind the cloth coverings of the next room and immediately disappeared, leaving me standing there for a few seconds before she zipped out and practically ran into the next room and stood behind a barrier between me and the massage area. Through a square window she glared at me... not saying a word. I inquired about whether they were actually open and the pricing for a 60 minute massage. She informed me that the cost would be $60, and I agreed to it. She then motioned to me to take my temperature. I did. At that point she immediately asked for me to "pay now" and as I was reaching for my wallet, I happened to clear my throat before asking about tipping afterwards (as I'd be fine with paying beforehand, but I'm not comfortable tipping for a service that hasn't been rendered). Her reaction was that of horror as she literally jumped back and asked "Are you sick?!"... and started acting extremely nervous. That's when I explained that I'd be canceling and walked out. As I was headed to my car, she came out and disinfected the door/handles while glaring at me until I drove away. Let's just say I'm glad I dodged that bullet. Nothing about that experience made me think I would have enjoyed this place. From the ambience, to the lack of hospitality, I can't see how they could run a business this way. It came off as uninviting and down right unprofessional. I understand that with the Corona pandemic everyone should take precautions, but this level of hysteria was a bit much. There are a multitude of options further down and I suggest looking into those. read more
