Massage Parlor Reports

And you paid 60 why?

[QUOTE=AvgJoe;2150521]I went there the other day to try it out. I think it's the same owner from Ace. I think he just opened across the street using a different person as a front for the license.

I got in right away and I immediately didn't like the walls as they don't go to the ceiling so there is very little privacy. I drew a middle age lady who looked familiar kind of like one of the ladies from Ace but I didn't ask. I didn't use the shower as I had just worked out and took one there so I don't know about it. Massage was pretty good and when she said we were done I said "hand me my pants" which she did and I took out 60 and handed it to her without saying a word. She took it without saying a word and got to work with a lackluster performance at best. They are being real careful there because they are new so don't expect much at this point.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=DMichaels69;2150684]And you paid 60 why?[/QUOTE]Only to see if she would do it. I usually pay 40 but seeing as this was a "new" place and considering the problems from across the street I thought there may be some resistance, so just to see if it could be done I gave her 60.

I'm in Oak Brook during the day. Have tried;.

1. The establishment at 817 E. Roosevelt Road. Great massage but no action as far as I can tell (anyone have a different experience?

2. Lily Massage at 619 W North Ave. Another great massage by very fit, muscular and hot lady. Some teasing and expect more for return customers (any feedback?

I have not yet tried;.

1. Foot Magic at 133 W Roosevelt Rd. Any input?

2. 565 Roosevelt Rd, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137.

3. 1202 Roosevelt Rd.

Any feed back on any of these? I'll keep you posted as I check them out.

Unbelievable. Their web site conveniently does not advertise a price, so I dunno what recourse I might have. Another site lists it as 70/ hour and it seems like the going rate so I just ASSumed! I'm not one to make a scene so I just left, ASSuming again I'd check their website and call back and catch them in a lie and return for a refund of $35. I called but the lady said it was 70 for half hour massage that included TS and Sauna--which I could have stretched out for 30 minutes but I thought the Sauna would be cutting into my hour so I only stayed a few minutes. I think she might have known it was me.

Live and learn, I guess. I didn't call ahead of time, just showed up. I was told 70 and. ASSumed.

I went there because I had an appointment with one of the sweetest girls in Lombard, but she hurt herself and had to cancel so I was in need of some release, er. Relief.

I will say it again. This is one of the worst places out there. Avoid it.

565 Roosevelt & 1202 Roosevelt are standard AMPs with pretty good massage and the standard HE. Both places have middle age providers and not much past the standard ending is available. I am indifferent about repeating.

At Lilly Massage I saw Susan who gave me a great massage and average HE but it was ok. I would repeat but mostly just for the massage.

Thanks Joe. Tried the place in downtown LaGrange and it was a total waste of time. The massage wasn't even good.

Not only was the massage bad, but she left the room at least 5 times to answer the phone and 1 time didn't even return for 5 minutes. I finally told her I had to go and that was 10 minutes before the hour was up. I left 1 penny as a tip right in the middle of the sheet on the table. Then about 10 minutes after I leave she calls me (she had my number from when I called to make an appt) and asks if I forgot some money on the table. I said no I didn't forget and that it was all hers and to spend it wisely. I'm an ass I know.

I would never repeat at this place.

Joe, great job. They have to realize they will get nothing for poor service, especially with so many spas around. Sometimes I wonder why they can't or won't understand something so obvious.

No the other thing I found out recently is appointments are not always honored. I called ahead for a girl at a place. I'm almost in the parking lot and I get a call saying the previous guy decided at the end of his 1 hour massage he wanted another hour. I said why didn't you tell him if he wanted 2 , he should have scheduled 2 hr to begin with. She had no answer. I said I'm not waiting another hour and told her to forget it.

I have to differ with what is said about both places on Roosevelt. Have been to both places a number of times. While I will agree with the endings I thought the massages were quite good. It has been awhile since the therapist actually spent time on my feet. And both post finish. Felt great. Am not really pleased about 565 location though.

Both owners have other locations so the girls can move around a bit. Could have also been the time of day as I went later at night and they could have been tired from doing 5-10 customers that day. Either way, they were both pretty good massages but not great and that's ok with me. I have also been to both places a number of times as well.

By attitude I don't mean being quiet because as you know some of the girls cannot speak English so they are quiet. On the other hand, I am more than happy to tip well (as you know from a couple of posts down LOL) for good service and the girls really appreciate that.

I have also had appointments not honored. One place told me to wait 30 minutes because of walk-ins so I left. If I take the time to make an appointment I expect them to honor it within reason and I don't think being 30 minutes late is within reason. Also sometimes the owners make them take the next walk -in even if that means making a customer who had an appointment late. They don't like to turn business away but making a customer who had an appointment late is just not good business.

[QUOTE=Ral613;2171219]It's all on the menu at 1202. PM if interested in provider.[/QUOTE]It may very well be "all on the menu" at 1202. I didn't try for anything extra but with the 2-3 I saw, I think I'll take a pass. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they were bad, but everything was just "average" and if I'm going to pay for "all" it, I want a little more than "average".

Thanks.

AJ.

I have not been to 1202 in a long time. In all the times I was there, was just the standard menu and extremely average at best. But if times have changed there, that's good.

Then she called me and got me in only 10 minutes late. I suspect, I got the calls because I am a weekly regular at this place with this specific girl.

So I have no issue. Except wondering which of you guys it was!

AJ.[/QUOTE]Yo Joe. I didn't say it was a good idea, I just said it was "all on the menu". I went in at lunch and was expecting just the standard, so the offer caught me a bit by surprise. She wasn't bad, but not really my cup of tea and I was short on time.

Brothers. We all get beer goggles now and then. LOL.

If it is all on the menu then that's great because it gives everyone more options.

I was agreeing with you.

Thats good customer service and I wish they were all like that. It really helps to be a regular.

I know Ace sucked and was sub-standard at best, but at least I could roam close to home, and be guaranteed SOME action. Hell, one of my greatest AMP visits was there years back. So, in the shadows of all the classics now being gone, what's the best bet around this area, Maple? Pine Tree? Or do I just find a gem or two on BP? I liked the whole AMP process as it felt dirty every single time.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll stumble onto something, but just figured I would see if I'm missing anything right in front of my face.

And just to be clear, I wasn't saying that Ace was incredible, I was merely saying it was convenient.

While I was there the bell went off 10 times at least. Suzy was my masseuse and while friendly she also seemed to rush me a bit. Maybe there was a regular who showed up for her, I don't know.

Left satisfied but was also in my car with 15 min to go. Not worth going that far out of my way to be shorted time. I can save my gas AND pocket money and go elsewhere. Or, stay home.

Pine is very high traffic. Maybe go first thing in the morning during the week.

If you are looking for a sure thing each and every time try the apartments or (if you can) ask to see your favorite provider away from the MP. Some of them will do this if they know, like and trust you.

Over the years I have done this with 2 or 3 and about 2 weeks ago the one I currently see away from the MP calls and asks if I wanted to go to Lake Geneva and stay over Saturday night. She doesn't drive and she just wanted to get away for a day or two. So off we went and we had an incredible time together. I didn't have to pay her anything and it wasnt that expensive, just a hotel and some food but considering the time we had together it was more than worth it. I kind of liked doing this rather than the AMP route.

There are a few places further west too, the ones on Farnsworth and Book are both serviceable in a pinch, though the menu is limited. Haven't been to Green in a while, and a new place opened up right by them that I checked out. They were busy, asked me to return in 30 minutes. Didn't go back, don't know if there are more than the mamamasan (who answered the door.

Cove is a good place to try. Good massage.

I would agree with Book and Farnsworth.

The new place by Green has a few girls that rotate in and out plus the mamasan who gives a very good massage.

I would avoid Green unless mamsan has changed.

Ogden is dead.

I used to hit King when I was in the area. Had great sessions there. More chiropractic than massage. Followed one of their girls till she became a mamas and then she set me up big time at a few places.

Green used to have a rock solid showing and a password that was hard to crack when they were on Midwest. Now it's all 60 why / o's with plastic surgery and way too much Botox.

Miss my 30 why / o Asian in Chicago. All business but she was good. Too good. If she wasn't already married I would have had to lock that down.

Nothing to offer yet. People I know in the area aren't sharing yet so I'm just sticking close to home.

I've stopped by Cove a few times now with no luck. The lady (assuming mamasan) is always busy with others. Anyone else have this issue? Is there just one person working?

I've been told a few times to come back with not too long of a wait. It does get very busy there.

I made an appointment once but had to try a few times for someone to pick up the phone.

They work on the no advertisement, 1 or 2 girls working model. I was told that is on purpose. May keep it lower traffic as some mongers may give up.

After taking a break after being uninspired by anyone at Pine Tree I went back last week and enjoyed myself with Sue. I was about to have June massage me for the upteenth time but asked for someone else. June is nice, but need variety. Sue (or Suzy) is short, early 30's with a tight, well endowed body. We immediately discussed and agreed on services and she proceeded to give a better than average massage followed by the release I was seeking. I liked her a lot and will make sure I see her again.

Stay safe, Stan.
