www.swanspany.netI’ll start with the good. It’s cheap. $50 for an hour massage. That’s why I give it 3 stars. The massage is okay. Nothing special but that could’ve just been the person I had. The bad about this place is the ambience. It is not quiet at all. The workers talk very loud so the customers respond in the same volume. Very hard to relax. It seems like this business does not care if it’s quiet or not because everyone here talks super loud. Another bad thing is that is is cold in there during the massage. I’m not sure if they’re trying to be cheap and keeping the heat at a low temperature but it is definitely not comfortable at times. Not sure if I would return.
UPDATED REVIEW: It seems management don't care if the employees know how to massage or not. The "masseuse" was rushing as if she doesn't want to do it. Clearly doesn't know pressure points, just squeeze away wherever her elbow lands. Neck should not be squeezed as hard as the back, that is very dangerous! Also, the ac vent is directed straight down where I laid on the furthest room close to the bathroom, so I got cramps in the back. Its was difficult to explain/tell her because she can't speak/understand English. Tip for anyone reading and still want to try them out, after 10-15 mins if you think the masseuse is doing a horrible job like mine, just ask them to switch for another one. They didn't change the price, but the quality of service dropped significantly, its good news for anyone looking for a job, they just hire anyone off the street. Don't even need experience. Obviously, won't be going there anymore. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PREVIOUS REVIEW: The lobby has a pretty decent ambiance, relatively clean and tidy. Rooms are average-sized, dimly lit and somewhat clean as well. I don't think the masseuses have shifts so as a general rule, do not come here on afternoons or evenings. They will all be tired and unenthusiastic about the service. I went here a 3-4 times, each were slightly different outcome despite having the same masseuse. The last one was the worst as I went in the evening BIG MISTAKE. I didn't know about their "tip" rule because I always give higher than normal tips. I'm guessing they don't pay the employees right so they rely on tips.
As with all of the other reviews, tips was an issue. I have never heard of “minimum tip” but nevertheless, I didn’t want confrontation so I just complied. However, the massage wasn’t even relaxing, they definitely do not take your requests into consideration and I feel it’s because they don’t understand what I was saying. My cousin and I shared a room and it seemed as though a new person that was training worked on her. She didn’t understand anything my cousin asked her and she didn’t work on the parts my cousin asked to work on more.
You can get Really good deep tissue massages done here. The facility itself isn’t fancy at all but it’s clean. You can also hear any conversation that happens at the front desk as well. I don’t come here for quietness I come to get the kinks out of my back and neck. The prices are really good if you pay cash as well. Also call ahead of time and secure a slot because they are very busy
A very good massage. This massage gave me a different feeling. I felt much more relaxed after the massage.
