I visited this place during the Grey Cup.
Won't repeat...
Wasn't sure what to expect. Paid my "Special" room fee and mandatory tip and was led into the change room.
It was so confusing the breakdown of fees and times, and the woman was trying to explain that the sign that said a different price was referring to the special for tomorrow - so confused I walked out.
Then the little Cheney got inside my mind and said, here you are out in Richmond on a Sunday- ,, so I returned for a 45 min. program paid (don't forget but it included the mandatory tip). $85 plus tip (I am guessing).
Other option was to buy a 90 minute program
Had a sauna, steam and then went into the seated room.
Every place had a tv and Asian programming blaring from the tvs.
In the room was high back seats and towels all around. With the tiny robe and slippers, I wait. The guy attendant (one male and one female at front attendant) asks if I am ready for a massage. Say yes, leads me to one room for my 45 minute massage. Attendant comes in - middle of road Asian , she calls the front desk to start the timer. Woman starts a quick massage,
covered in towel, ... wait for any sign of anything... she is in a track suit with running shoes. Wait, nothing then the flip and the bell rings - times up.
I say what about anything else - she says you only book 45 minutes? I say yes, she picks up her stuff and leaves....
I walk down the hallway (watch your step) back to the tv's have a quick rinse to get rid of the oil, and take one of their toothbrush packagesa s a souvenir from a trip to nowhere and back again,
Repeat - only if I learn to speak Cantonese!. Otherwise.... not for this seasoned traveler. Think this place goes for the high road option - that is paying the double entry rate and the double mandatory tip.
