I called same-day and the receptionist booked me without any hassle. GRS offers a locker room, scrub-down, hot towels and robes, and attentive and professional staff. The therapy I received was more than expected but as a result, I left relaxed, eager to return on my next visit to Manhattan.

I would not recommend this place. The service provider pushed her elbow into my shoulder bone, and when I told her that it hurts she giggled. Also, I was told in the beginning of the service what the price would be plus tip. This is sooo tacky. This is offensive behavior, especially to start the service. I'm not sure this is a "regular" massage place.

Love this place. Feels very luxurious and the girls are always friendly. When my boyfriend visits the city we go in together sometimes and get a massage, and it relieves his shoulder pain a lot.

Been coming to this place once a month to treat myself. Service is wonderful and consistent, the masseuses are fantastic and always attractive. Facilities are clean too. My only issue is that it can get crowded, the last time I was there I finished up and some loudmouth was in the lobby making phone calls as I tried to settle up and leave a tip. Another masseuse was charging down the hall trying to get a younger client to verify his age. It's not relaxing at all so once they get their traffic in order (i think it's more popular than ever) it's a five star experience.

Deceptive pricing. 80 dollars for an hour... then 5 to use card... then minimum 40 dollar tip? Not cool.

Do not waste your time with this place stay away! It's just your average typical chinese rub n tug joint.. As soon as I walk in the door they asked me to pay upfront $80 and as soon as I asked if can I see who is available first?? the chinese lady got upset and didn't want to talk to me .... she then said it's just me and she was hideous!!

Garden Retreat is amazingly consistent for their high quality massage even over all of these years. I wish I had time to go every week! I've been to Garden Retreat a few times and the massage is always great. The masseuses are attractive and friendly and I've never been disappointed with the quality and consistency of the service. The facilities are clean and comfortable. There are real sheets on the massage tables that are always fresh and ironed. I like the fact that they manage the locker room carefully so I didn't have to share it with guys I didn't know. It is a very well run place. $80 for one hour and I usually tip $60.

Loving the consistent firm pressure that I got from my Massage Therapist. Just exactly what I needed. It truly helped relieve so much tension in my body and mind. I highly recommend this practice.

Massage was fine, but docking stars for professionalism. Tips are at the discretion of the customer for exemplary service, and it’s terribly rude and condescending to comment on a tip in front of the customer - especially after asking for cash and upcharging credit card fees. Also as is the case with nail salons… you never know what languages your customers can understand… Maybe pay your workers a living wage instead of blaming the guests. Good way to ruin a relaxing massage

Top-notch service. The staff is friendly and skillful. With all the choices in NYC, I would highly recommend you give them a try. I'm glad I found them and don't have to take chances with so many unprofessional spas.
