The services I received were great! However, there are a few suggestions that could help improve the experience for guests. It would be helpful to make the changing room larger and provide more private rooms. Additionally, labeling the rooms to clearly indicate the waiting area would make navigation easier.

I visited the spa this weekend and was pretty disappointed. If you’ve been to the Rochester location, don’t expect the same experience. It has different owners and the standards aren’t as high here.
Positives:
- The workers were sweet and professional.
- There’s snacks in the waiting room (no champagne, but they offer red wine instead if you like that).
- They’ll cover parking costs for a few hours.
Cons:
- There’s only a 1 person bathroom outside the locker rooms and the handle on the toilet is broken.
- I was given 2 right sandals in my locker. Not a big deal as you don’t wear them long but it’s careless and unprofessional.
- I paid for a deep tissue massage and mentioned my problem areas but never once did my masseuse, Jasmine, try to find or massage out the knots—they’re hard to miss for how big they are. Her gentleness felt more like a Swedish massage and not a deep tissue massage (I almost fell asleep because it was so gentle).
I was really looking forward to this because my knot pains have been exacerbated lately. But I left feeling the exact same with a chunk of money lost to a pointless service.

I typically don’t leave reviews because I know life happens but My husband sent me to get a prenatal massage, since I’ve been in so much pain. I was looking forward to trying woodhouse all week, I’ve heard positive things. My appointment day arrival and I drove a hour to get there, paid for parking just for them to call me 10mins before my service suppose to start to tell me they have to reschedule me. Being pregnant, emotional and upset I almost lost it! I even mentioned I just drove a hour to get there and all they could say was sorry. They didn’t offer me any incentive or anything but just they can reschedule me. It truly sucks that I had such negative experience because I love going to spas and they never care, I know things happen but customers service goes a long way so I hope they improve theirs.

I went recently and had a pretty good experience. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Very good employees. I liked the wine. I loved my facial. Absolutely loved it. My skin felt and looked great after.
The massage was only so-so in my opinion. I’ve had much better at much cheaper. The angle the masseuse used for my neck actually hurt it after. I’m sure other people there are better though. My table did squeak.
Lastly, no pool, no sauna, not really a spa imo. It needs water or heat because their “quiet area” isn’t much to see. For the price, the locker rooms are disappointing as well.
