点评:After a multi-year renovation, I was seriously looking forward to returning to a place that I used to love. A New Year's Eve couples massage at Stillwater was a ritual that my partner and I used to cherish. At $286 each (before automatic 18% gratuity) I expect more than a great massage. It should be an experience. Unfortunately, I just wanted to get the massage and get out.
First off ~ The massage from Samantha was fabulous. She is a knowledgeable, friendly and talented professional RMT. She is 5-star and the reason this overall rating is not lower. The locker room attendant was also helpful and sweet.
BUT ~ the rest of it is basic and lackluster. The water theme is gone, including no hot tub. The change rooms appointments were baffling. The sauna is only large enough for 2 people. While the vanity area is giant, it had no seats, magnifying mirror nor the amenities you might expect in a spa of this calibre. The locker area by contrast is minuscule. There is one small bench taking up most of the standing area between all the lockers in a cramped space. If one person has their bag or robe on the bench, there is nowhere to sit to put on your shoes. A larger woman would struggle to even turn around let alone change her clothes. Forget about those lounge beds we used to enjoy. There isn't even a chair. Even the shower rooms had no place to set down toiletries or ample towel bars. Totally awkward.
The co-ed "lounge" is also small relative to the number of people who might be there. Imagine 8 people in upright chairs with everyone talking at full volume in an area the size of an average living room. Don't plan to have lunch or even a mimosa. It was more clinical than it was "zen". It was a waiting room with dessert and a juice.
Bottomline: For $675 for 2 people for a 60-minute couples massage, we'll go somewhere that we want to spend some time.
翻译:经过多年的装修,我非常期待回到我曾经爱过的地方。在斯蒂尔沃特 (Stillwater) 进行的新年前夜情侣按摩是我和我的伴侣曾经珍视的一种仪式。每人 286 美元(在自动收取 18% 的小费之前)我期待的不仅仅是一次很棒的按摩。这应该是一种体验。不幸的是,我只是想得到按摩然后离开。
首先 ~ 萨曼莎的按摩棒极了。她是一位知识渊博、友善且才华横溢的专业 RMT。她是 5 星,这也是总体评价不低的原因。更衣室服务员也乐于助人且贴心。
但是~其余的都是基本的而且乏善可陈。水主题消失了,包括没有热水浴缸。更衣室的任命令人费解。桑拿浴室仅供 2 人使用。虽然梳妆区很大,但它没有座椅、放大镜,也没有您在这种级别的水疗中心所期望的便利设施。相比之下,储物柜面积很小。在狭窄的空间里,所有储物柜之间有一张小长凳占据了大部分站立区域。如果一个人把包或长袍放在长凳上,就没有地方可以穿鞋。大块头的女人连转身都困难,更不用说换衣服了。忘掉我们过去喜欢的那些躺椅吧。连椅子都没有。甚至淋浴间也没有地方放置洗漱用品或充足的毛巾架。完全尴尬。
相对于可能在那里的人数,男女混合的“休息室”也很小。想象一下,8 个人坐在直立的椅子上,每个人都在一个普通起居室大小的区域中以最大音量交谈。不打算吃午餐甚至含羞草。它比“禅”更临床。那是一间提供甜点和果汁的候诊室。
底线:2 人 675 美元,享受 60 分钟的情侣按摩,我们会去我们想去的地方消磨时间。
