O’Town massage Spa(Old Town)

Check this place out ... I went in today with a friend and we were greeted & treated with the best massages ever! Sophia & Lily went above and beyond! It was in the same room and it felt very cozy & warm on a chill but yet nice day in San Diego!

I've had a lot of massages, this was one of the best! This was not a fluff type massage. This was knuckles, elbows, hand heels! She dug into every inch of my back. It needed it. I feel like a million dollars! I will be back! It is on the second floor right corner.

I’ve come to this spot for years & have had nothing but amazing service along with the best massages. Unfortunately that was not the case today! My understanding is that it is under new management. I only wish I knew that before hand. The inside has been fixed up but the the quality of masseuse was poor. I paid for an 1 1/2 hour service for her to only push on me then rub oil on me then us a hot towel to wipe it off. I’ve had many “deep tissue” massages & what I just had was definitely not one! Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience!!! To top off this unpleasant experience she did not understand how to process a gift card so her kind smile quickly disappeared & she began to yell at me “no money”. I tried to explain but she kept yelling. Another woman took time to hear me out then proceeded to process the payment without an issue. Even though I wasn’t satisfied with the service & especially her out bust, I gave her a 10% tip ( in cash ) that I felt matched the quality of massage I received. She went off & I left knowing I would NEVER return! For those that would still give this place a try I would suggest you inquire on the masseuse scheduled to work on you… Hopefully it’s not Lily.

My husband and I agreed it’s of the best massages that we’ve ever had. Got it before flying out. Will be back next time we’re in town.

I don’t know how this place has good reviews. Maybe they got the luck of the draw. Unfortunately my experience was not good. When I called they just told me to come in. The lady was nice but wasn’t technical or professional. She left the door open while I was changing and was eating outside the door so I can smell the food which was unpleasant while trying to relax. I told her what my problem areas were and she kept saying yes but it was like being touched by a feather which occasionally had sharp thorns, since her nails weren’t filed. Again no technique and she would forget the opposite sides of the areas she was attempting to massage, I was considering she may have her own style so I’d stay quite and wait but nope, I would have to remind her when she’d miss the opposite side. I was trying to communicate with her by lifting my head so she can read my lips but there was a strong language barrier. She kept kindly saying “she was tired,” which I don’t know how that’s possible when there’s no actual massage happening. She also kept walking out the room to blow her nose. I asked her if she wanted me to come back but she would sweetly say no, then try to push really hard abruptly in random places because she’d loose track of where she was; than move to an entirely different area suddenly to rub oil on, similar to applying lotion to legs. Really uncomfortable experience. I almost didn’t leave a tip, which I never do but she was trying in her own way and I felt bad for her; so I left her $10 on a $73 45 minute imaginary massage; She saw what I was leaving her and told me “No, that I should tip her $15 cause she got tired and had to use her elbows”; which is insane cause it felt like a pencil eraser. I kindly told her I wasn’t satisfied with my massage or experience so I was leaving her what was more then fair. I thanked her for her time and efforts, she then shook her head in disbelief and disappointment. If anything this experience made me feel bad about being nice because I don’t think she really knows how disappointing it is to spend near a hundred bucks just to get oiled up and feel uncomfortable. I was really needing a healing touch and I would have paid much more to receive that. Just NO to this place. I’ve had plenty of massages and this was the worst, plus a very sad experience. I smell like the food she was eating cause she was burping over me most of the time cause she had indigestion from the food she ate. Plus she wouldn’t wash her hands after blowing her nose, I know cause I have good hearing. I feel like an idiot for not just walking out. I just wasted my time, money and I feel humiliated.
