I scheduled a massage for my wife while vacationing in Savannah. When we initially walked in there was loud music playing in the back and the waiting area was cluttered and junky. After my wife filled out the required paperwork, the therapist took my wife to the back. Within a few minutes, my wife called for me and I entered the room where she was supposed to get her massage.

Horrible experience. Felt so violated and exposed. Unprofessional. Smelled of urine. Kept trying to move towel to expose me. Offered a "lower abdomen massage" and I asked him to stop while crying. Made a police report after the fact. Reported him to massage board. He should be shut down. Negative reviews are deleted and fake glowing reviews are put up to lure more women into this dangerous place.
