Downtown is not worth the time or effort
Gents, I have been visiting SD the last few days and have checked out two AMP's nearest to the gas lamp district. Well, one nearest to me I admit I just walked in. And walked out. Beijing Spa on third was empty (literally empty. Like a big room with curtained off partitions) and the lady who greeted me was quite a bit older and looked to be the one to give the massage. It did not have recent or particularly good reviews, so, I skipped it. Tried another, advertised on BP, on Kettner. Arrived without calling but the place was empty. Nice rooms, clean, but the beds just had a pillow without the cut out to keep your neck straight during the massage. On entrance, a really petite (I mean really, really petite) middle aged lady greeted me and I thought, well, this might be interesting. She asked what I was seeking and I said an hour. She said $ with a shower. I was a bit surprised because most places advertised on BP had either. 4 or. 5 for an hour. I told her I had just showered (which I had) and didn't want a shower. She said, . 8 for 45 min. Curiousity killed the cat, so I forked out the fee for the massage, and prepped myself face down (with my neck twisted to one side) and waited. Then, another lady came in. Darn. About 40 lbs more than appropriate, tobacco user, but. I was already bare, so I thought, might as well get the massage. Maybe this place charges more up front to avoid asking for extras (naive me.). Light massage, light touching, NO oil (that is a first for me). After 15 min she asked me to flip and then put my hand on her back side. The ONLY upside to the experience is that she dropped her top and allowed nice touching. I would not return, or at least. Lesson learned, I would call ahead to check on pricing before making the trip. Be safe, but have fun.
