$20 foot & full body massage! 60 minutes of bliss. It's by no means fancy or even a spa so be prepared to lie down in a communal space where others are also receiving (clothed) massages. If 2 or more are wanting to get a massage, I'd recommend calling an hour in advance to make sure they have enough massage therapist for your and your party.
