[QUOTE=Southpaw827;2196045]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?[/QUOTE]Yes stopped by their twice both times they were too busy to see me. The lady who answered the door the second time told me it was best to call and make an appointment.
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.

Mamasan is friendly once you get to know her and has a nice petite body. I would repeat.
Saw Candy at Maple the other day, OK massage with standard finish at regular price. Must not have liked me because after the flip she stayed out of my reach. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

I think they changed ownership and since then it's just been very average girls & service at best. I personally stay away.
I've heard the same.

Tried to hit Cove and couldn't get in. Ivy is still too prominent for my taste so I figured I'd stop by Lanes since I've never been in there.
Is it me or was I the only one looking for a Mike Brady, Architect plaque on that staircase?
Anyhoo, get inside and bell rings. I wait about 5 minutes and mamasan comes up. Had to be 55, could see the v notch trowel marks on her face where she applied her makeup. I asked for the hour, she said "no sauna and no table shower today". I ask if there's a discount since the sign right behind her mentions it as part of the hour, she tells me to come back tomorrow. She then turned on her Payless shoe source heels and walked away.
I prominently left as well. For those who've TOFTT in the past I salute you. I will move on to other hunting grounds.
Not worth it. Much better out there.

I first started going there about 10 years ago and never once had a good looking or even nice female attendant. I have tried it about once a year just to see if the place had changed but it never has.
One time the 60 year old mms who took my money then walks into the room and wanted to give me a massage. OMG she was terrible looking but luckily my phone had just rung and after talking for a second told her I had to quickly return to work and could I get a refund. She said ok and gave me all my money back without a hassle so that was at least a plus.
I have not been back in over a year now and will never return.
The is a new spot in Naperville north side.
That is called pine tree.
Anyone toftt?

Everything about it says no extras. Location, Setup (the room I was in had 3 other massage tables in it), the door to get into the place was wide open to the outside, and just nothing about it gave a vibe that anything else would be an option.
So yeah, the price wasn't bad if you want a relaxing and solid massage, but that's all I ever expect this place to offer.
Just opened. Visited Yesterday. Darn busy. Legit, but very nice (mid 40's) lady and very good massage for $50. She mainly massages women vs guys. (Can you blame her?) Seems like two rooms with doors and one with a curtain. Of course I got the curtain.
The Craigslist ad says 300 Glen Ellyn Rd, Bloomingdale. That's a beauty parlor. She is a couple doors down at 306. In the meantime here's the old ad. Needless to say the picture is merely a photographer's rendition of what an Asian Masseuse should look like. Nobody there looks like that.

How does this place stay in business?
[QUOTE=Latex;2226788]I often wonder about Lane's, they have been there for 23 years maybe more.
How does this place stay in business?[/QUOTE]Figure it out. How much is their massage now, $80 per hour? If they just do 7 a day that's $560 of which the owner keeps 60% or $336 a day, times 7 days is $2350 a week or $9400 a month. If he spends $2,000 for rent / expenses in that crappy old building that still leaves him $7400 a month or $88,000 a year to do nothing.
I would take 2 or 3 places like that for $88,000 a year each. Not a bad income to do nothing except look after the place from time to time.
I am looking to find time and try out a new place I saw in Darien. Has anyone else already tried and have any feedback. If you have any info please share. I will report once I have a chance to try.
