The staff I interacted with were very polite and accommodating. I arrived 20min ahead of schedule and they took me straight in to the massage. The massage it self was amazing and the masseuse was very kind, knowledgeable and respectful. I nearly fell asleep during the back massage which I think is a testament to her skill.
I am looking forward to my next visit and only wish I could go back sooner.
The good parts:
The venue was clean and well maintained, and the massage room looked professional.
They were able to take my last minute booking for a deep tissue massage.
The massage room was clean and professional looking.
I received a reasonable deep tissue massage.
There were signs on the wall stating it's not allowed to offer extras (though they were offered to me).
The questionable:
There was a shower cubicle in the massage room
The masseur used the towel which was covering my body to massage my feet, leaving my underwear exposed.
They asked me to pay cash upfront. They said their card machine was broken. I refused to pay the full amount upfront, so they didn't give me the length of massage I wanted.
The masseur used her body weight to massage the muscles in my back. I thought this was reasonable, and it definitely helped her to get the tension out of my muscles. She hadn't tied her hair back though, so it was trailing over the back of my head.
The staff weren't wearing any sort of uniform.
The bad:
The manager made a few jokes of a sexual nature when I was arriving, which made me feel uncomfortable.
The masseur asked if I wanted extras, which I didn't as I wanted to professional massage.
I didn't get the length of massage I wanted.
The masseur didn't ask me if I had any medical conditions / areas of concern before starting the massage.
Overall, I was reasonably happy with the quality of the massage itself, but I won't be returning as it's possible to get fully professional deep tissue massage for the same price elsewhere.
