Main Bathhouse (1929) — Local services in Bath (Berkeley Springs)

Imagine you’re my sister. You go to get a deep tissue massage with your boyfriend for your anniversary. You get a masseuse named Terra. Right before your massage you start to take off your robe and she says to wait so she can leave the room. Sure, of course! You do. During the massage, you lift your arm to move a piece of your hair. Apparently you’re supposed to warn your masseuse or ask for their holy permission or something because if you don’t, and a NIPPLE crosses their line of vision, they will cut your massage short, say nothing to you, accuse you of sexual assault and TRAUMATIZING THEM, and then STILL try to charge you for a full massage with no conversation at all. She found this out when her boyfriend tried to ask why her massage had been cut short. To get a refund from this place, you have to contact the state park. So now she’s sobbing in her car, accused of preying on this masseuse who was forced to witness a nip slip on a human body (presumably she’s seen a nipple before, as a masseuse), and trying to get a refund because of this experience. I imagine this person will still be employed here tomorrow so I HIGHLY recommend getting a massage LITERALLY anywhere else. What a horrific experience for a customer who went somewhere specifically to relax with the help of a professionally trained body worker. I hope this person gets help and stays far away from service-based professions...

I really wanted to love this experience, but there were too many unprofessional details for the price. The tipping process was awkward and uncomfortable — they make you say your tip amount out loud in front of others, before your massage even starts. Then you’re told there’s also a bath attendant and asked how you want to split the tip.

There’s only one changing room, and they actually pulled me off the massage table before my room was even available. We ended up waiting 15 minutes just to get our clothes out of the locker. My boyfriend really enjoyed his massage (and I’m happy he did, he needed it more than I did), but mine was just good — not great.

For $300 for 45 minutes, I expected more. This is definitely not a luxury spa. There was no zen music to set the mood — instead, you could hear the loud music and bass from the park outside the whole time, which made it hard to relax. The place didn’t even smell like a spa. It wasn’t bad, but it also didn’t smell good.

Overall, I wish I had saved my money. I’m writing this review so others can make an informed decision...

Decided to try this place instead of the Renaissance spa, NEVER AGAIN. The actual massage was mid, it wasn’t terrible but certainly not good. The massage “rooms” were just separated by curtains so I could hear the person next to be talking to her massage therapist the entire time. Then at the end, they charge me 20$ more than the price advertised online on their own website. I pointed this out and they refused to honor the price and said it “wasn’t their problem” that the “old price” was still up on their website. I will never be back and I’d recommend you choose a...
