Harold Ave Still Consistent
[QUOTE=IllWill;4244135]I went last week for the first time and saw Patricia. It was pretty much everything that's been said here before, GILF is definitely the word. Good massage and standard finish. I liked the service and knew what I was getting into before I got there. Her bolt ons were too obvious for my tastes or I might be inclined to return more frequently.[/QUOTE]I haven't been to IHOP in years. I enjoyed Coco at the Shanghai Spa in Winter Park, but the lack of a table shower is a drawback. Harold Ave is always consistent; good to excellent Korean massage, and a pleasant finish with their clothes remaining mostly where they started. For topless or nude finishes you have to go to Altamonte / Magic or to Casselberry / Natural Therapy.
Victoria is still working at Harold but on my last visit I had Angie, a younger version who gives excellent massages and is pleasant to talk with. Either way, Harold Ave is always reliable for good massages and standard finishes.
Spa Serenity: Never More for Me
I few days ago I was in the mood for Tier 2 experience (not wanting the attention of going to BO, KMS, or Shangri-La). My last experience there was a quickie / rush job because they were "busy". I stopped by SS and drew Baby. She was pretty enough for a Tier 2 place (7/10, mid-30's, slender, C-cups, etc.). She was a little stand-offish. The TS was good. Back to the room I gave her a tip and she held her ground for more. I should have left, but I chose to pay the negotiated entrance fee (quickie then you go). After the race was finished, I did get a 1/2 pint bottle of water. Overall damage: 0. 8 house fee + $. 2 entrance fee.
It seems to me that SS is managed / owned by the same owners as BO, KMS, and Shangri-La. We are rushed out the door and not treated well. Our only recourse is to post a bad review here. SS used to be a fun place where the girls paid attention to you. Not any more.
I will not be going back, ever. I can see some good independents (some advertise on the sister site) for a lower cost and better time. If I am in the mood for a road trip, Pinellas has dozens of quality AMPs and aromatherapy shops to choose from.
Be safe.
