As came up in the
What is current pricing for CMJ, BC. ALO? thread, I noticed that the various Spas are discussed briefly about the quality/cleanliness of the facilities (ie. showers). Some of the Spas look really nice and are maintained, but one place left a lot to be desired. Without giving exact location, maybe generalized location can be supplied with your observations.
To start, both Brass Club and CMJ Downtown, IMHO clean facilities with clean towels and linen.
With the understanding that some of the following info is out of date and more important, I have not been to Sparx (before or since renovation), CMJ or BC, these are my takes on MP facilities that I’ve been to (except where noted). Also with the understanding any rating I give is just my opinion..
Vibe - in my estimation, top notch. large modern rooms with excellent two (or more) body showers.
Angels Touch - excellent rooms with large modern showers
Paradise Spa - ditto; their hot tub facility is excellent
For cleanliness, I rate the above 3 as ”sparkling”. Per my definition, the rest (that I’ve been to) I rate an ok
Brass Club - no info, but based on postings here, vey good facilities with showers in rooms.
CMJ - ditto
Sparx - no info but apparently the renovation has elevated its facilities to “good”
ALO, 175 Montreal Rd - been years but back then a kind of a dive with a communal shower not really fit for two
ALO, 1757 Bank - only visited for a look and it looked low quality
ALO, 3040 Carling - simple standard size room, in other words, fairly small, no shower
BobyBasics, St. Laurent - mediocre quality - I did not see a shower in the room
The following are AMPs where basically, the facility quality goes down hill, but it’s no secret l’ve always been partial to Asian
ministrations, so I’ve had experience at a number of them. My only order of preference is the first. After that it’s a crap shoot.
174 Colonnade Unit 21 - half decent facility - large room with large in room shower
174 Colonnade Unit 34 - only visited to doorway, did not like reception - they do not advertise a shower and I don’t think they
have one, at least not in room
Palace St. - down scale, rooms upstairs with one-man shower in room
216 Dalhousie - pretty much a dive with dinky one-man shower in room
Lewis St near corner of Elgin - (is it still even operating?) - no shower but immense room, old architecture, high ceilings
256 Bank - pretty much a dive - no shower in room
162 Laurier Ave W - ditto
5460 Canotek (just past 5450 mentioned below) - total dive, no shower (not sure if it’ still operating)
New AMP on St. Laurent - have not been (but am interested) - someone posted here it has showers in the rooms
1725 St. Laurent - haven’t been - my understanding is average rooms no showers
Cantokek Wellness, 5450 Canotek - only visited, received poor reception - don’ t think there are showers in room
If I think of any others, I’ll add to the list
