The absolute worst experience. Staff (particularly the manager, Melissa) were rude and disrespectful of our time. My group felt rushed and uncomfortable. They hurried us out of our post sauna spa chair session to let an influencer in. Her camera guy was recording her every move. It was also dirty and didn’t feel…

The absolute worst experience. Staff (particularly the manager, Melissa) were rude and disrespectful of our time. My group felt rushed and uncomfortable. They hurried us out of our post sauna spa chair session to let an influencer in. Her camera guy was recording her every move. It was also dirty and didn’t feel like it had been adequately stocked prior to our arrival. Someone in my group also had a creepy massage but that’s for another review.
