Very nice and a good massage!. I've gone here a few times now and I'm always satisfied with the cleanliness of the establishment and the competency of the massage therapists. A great spot and I've found them (at $80) to be reasonable compared with some other spas in the midtown area.

Horrible Experience. What a waste of 84 dollars. I got there and the masseuse didn't even ask my name or offer hers, she didn't ask me if i had any medical problems or aches that she should be aware of, she did not ask me about the type of pressure i like all she did was get on top of my back and press down hard.

I was soooo disturbed that I want to call the manager and get my money back!

wow!!. I go here all the time, and If you want a quick, in-and-out massage, that's fine, but i'd recommend giving yourself some extra time to enjoy the beautiful steam room and igloo sauna. there's no limit to how much time you can spend there, and i found that the massage is much better if you've relaxed for a while in the steam and heat. loosens the muscles and makes your mind more tranquil.

I usually get the combo massage/body scrub. we all know what a massage is, but have you ever had one of these body scrubs?? they're incredible. it's not that the treatment itself if luxurious or anything, but afterward you'll want everyone to touch your skin, because it's so unbelievably fresh and soft!

afterward i take another long hot shower and relax again in the sauna and steam rooms. so relaxing!

this place is great. they're very sweet and the prices are a steal, which is good, because i'm addicted to the body scrubs....

Regal Treatment. At some spas you feel sort of like a commodity, like you're part of an indifferent relaxation machine. Know what i mean? Like the staff is just going through the motions. But at Athena i felt like a VIP from beginning to end (why did it have to end??) and I had such a relaxing, luxurious time.

The steam room is beautiful and the showers and everything else is immaculate. At first I wasn't sure what to make of the igloo sauna--I'd never seen anything like it before--but after 5 minutes I was hooked. Even after my massage I went back inside for a long time to let the warm floor relax my back even more. Oh yeah, the massage was wonderful. She was really attentive and skilled, and I can't remember getting a better massage, especially for such a reasonable price.

Next time I'm going to try the body scrub.
