First Carnation visit, might repeat
Have driven by the place (can't miss it!) numerous times, but finally decided to stop in. As others have indicated, parking in the rear avoids the awkwardness of the exposure to the street traffic, but then having to still stand out front while waiting for someone to answer the door has its own awkwardness to it. Once inside, I though the layout was also rather odd, with a lot of open space to the left, and then a single step up to the area where you "check in" so to speak. Prices were all standard, and if I chose to stay it would be 60 for the hour.
Anna was the one who greeted me, and I asked to see who else was working. After that, her translator app was put to use. She indicated that the other provider was out of the building right now and wouldn't be back anytime soon. Anna seemed to be about 50 and was fairly stocky, although quite pleasant. I wanted to walk, but gave in to a session with her.
It was the standard series of rooms on the way back, and we ended up in the last one on the left hand side. Decent enough room, but I've seen many better overall.
When Anna returned, she asked if I wanted hard or medium. I usually like it more firm, but chose medium just to be safe, and glad I did. She gave a very nice firm massage which I found to be of better than average quality and I wasn't shorted on time. After the flip everything was pretty much standard stuff at standard rates.
All in all, I found Carnation acceptable; if I return, I'd hope for a more attractive provider who would hopefully be as pleasant as Anna and have similar massage skills, but be more conversant in English.

Just some random experiences the other night. Haven't been out for a while.
Grace?: Is that what they are calling the new place on 41st St? My current favorite, always nice looking, younger girls who are flirty and give good service. Went the other night, can't remember the lady's name but seen her before. Brownish hair. She said they were busy and to come back in 10 minutes. I just left, 10 minutes is never 10 minutes and don't want to interrupt anybody's time.
Old Rose: Read a lot of great reviews about the recent girl here. Been there a few times, but before reading the great reviews. This was my next stop. Went there, I parked out front but a short distance away. I waited for traffic to pass before I got out, I always hate standing at the door of these places as cars go by. So I wait for this suv to go by, but it stops and starts backing up in front of me. They keep backing up to the point I think they are going to hit my car, and I'm like WTF? Then another one pulls up close behind me, and they all get out with kids and baseball stuff? A place a couple doors down looks like they have some sort of baseball setup inside, and they all go in. I can barely get my car out, it was so stupid, but at this point I don't want to go stand outside waiting for the bell with all this activity and leave.
New Rose: Used to be my favorite, the last several months, I have gone down there maybe 4 times and they never answer the doorbell. Sign says "open", no cars, but they haven't answered. Tried again this night, same deal. Never was an issue before, and I never did anything that I could see them not letting me in. Are you guys calling first?
Queen: Ended up there, no cars anywhere in sight but this lady answers, puts me in a room and says "5 minutes". Stupidly I gave her the money because I was tired of running around. So I sat in this room forever, thinking how I could have already gotten in at Grace and been home by now, and how this lady is not super attractive. But she has my money so I don't just want to leave. Guess she had an appointment, finally she comes and gets me. I'm not even into it by this point, but she did a good job. Did a decent massage, with almost immediate teasing. Usual finish. Said her name was Mary. She was friendly and it was overall a good experience. Grace is still my favorite though.

I agree Grace is currently the better spot. Always in a great mode, flirting and smiling. Very nice talent and I have never had a bad experience.
