Unimpressed. This was a very mediocre massage experience. I will not be returning to this place. The staff were not attentive and the message was not very good.

Wonderful experience. I recently had my first massage at Lincoln Park Massage Spa (LPMS) and it was fantastic.

I think you will see that they provide wonderful customer service and the actual massage is as good (and better) than the higher end spas through out the city. The massage therapist was attentive to my needs and my only regret was not going for another 1/2 hour. :)

In addition to the service, you get a reminder phone call and follow-up email with discounts for booking in 30 days.

I was most impressed and plan to return in the next month.

really great find!. i tried this place a because of a recommendation from a friend and now i am ready to schedule my next appointment!

also, i subscribed to their email list and they send out amazing deals! (i got a 90 min massage for $99!!!)

the place is very cute, neat decorations in the room and the staff is very friendly.

what i was most impressed by, however, was the massage itself. it was incredible, she really listened to what was bothering me and made sure to address those problems. they give you this nice, warm kneck wrap and cold eye cover - fabulous! i feel great!

i would definitely recommend trying this place for a great massage.

We wanted a deep tissue, not a deep bone marrow massage. I decided to book a deep tissue couples massage for Sweetest Day. I was excited since I read great reviews and also had a $45 gift certificate I wanted to use. So come massage time, the "therapists" (Mantino and I failed to catch the African American lady's name) brought us to a small room where they had us disrobe in the room, no robes, no flip flops. They asked us where our problem areas were. I told them mine were my shoulders and upper back including the neck area, and my boyfriend's was kinda everywhere, but especially the back. So they began the massage with us face down and a hospital sheet over us. Mantino begins right away pressing his elbows and forearms into my back. Not particularly in any muscle group, just into my back...which meant posterior ribs, spine, shoulder blades. I've a tendency to laugh sometimes when I'm in pain, and I started to kinda laugh uncomfortably. He asked if he should let up. I told him a little. He eventually proceeded to my legs where he was kneading my buttocks and upper thigh so hard with his knuckles and elbows that I let out another yelp because I felt like he was bruising me. Then when he got down to my calves, he was digging his fingers between where my calf muscle and bone meet. I kicked upwards this time to let him know he was hurting me, yet again. He did do a good job on my feet. He then asked me to turn over, but I asked that he worked longer on my back because he never got to any of my problem areas that they asked about. He told me it was my massage and he could spend the last 15 min on my back if I wanted. I told him I wanted at least another 5 min on my back, but I did want to flip over and get a whole body massage experience. He did better on my neck and back once I had to show him where. (He actually was massaging my muscles this time!) They also had to leave the room at one point because they forgot our eye masks. Little did I know until after the massage (and a $30 tip) that my boyfriend had similar issues, but his was worse. He told me that the woman did a great job with his legs, but he thought it was because they're mainly muscle. He said that the lady was also putting all of her weight in spots on his back that wasn't muscle. He felt like it was more of a "deep bone marrow" massage than a deep tissue. He never said anything while we were there because he felt bad that I had done such a nice thing. It wasn't until I put my arms around his shoulders later that he told me. Although the receptionist and the therapists were nice, I won't be returning. I've had deep tissue massages at many other hotels and spas in the states and in Asia and Europe. This might have been the worst massage I've ever received. $210 (sans gratuity) for a deep bone marrow couples massage could've been spent on a pain-free nice dinner somewhere, or a real spa treatment elsewhere.

Best Prenatal in Chicago. After having a horrifying 'spa day' at another spa I decided that I needed to have a make up day. I decided to go back to the place I went with my first pregnancy multiple times...Lincoln Park Massage Spa. And I wasn't disappointed. The massage was awesome, and Kim, my therapist was very attentive, checking in ever so often to see if the pressure was right ect. I left the massage feeling the way you are supposed to, relaxed and rejuvinated. I am all for trying different spas out but after spending so much and being so disappointed at the other spa, I won't make that mistake again. Every massage I have had at LPMS has fully been to my standards and I will definitely be going back

unbelievable. I have had messages for decades and from all over the world. This place is incredible-from the different rooms I was able to choose from to the entire staff. I am so lucky to be near them

Much better experiences available. Both my wife and I had massages here. My massage was fine but it was the kind of place where you disrobe in the room...no locker rooom. I purchased my wife a prenatal package and she was disgusted. They parrafin hand treatment leaked all over the floor and she felt as if the person working with her had never done it before. Again, her massage was just average. when the manager was contacted, there was little compensation or concern.

Look here for relaxation. Very friendly staff. I only got a 30 minute massage but it was so relaxing and enjoyable. I definitely plan on going back for a full hour. I have received many massages in the past and this was with out a doubt one of the best.

Great therapy!. I started going to Lincoln Park Massage while recovering from surgery following a skiing accident. The message therapist had experience with skiing injuries and followed up on my physical therapist direction to speed my recovery after 5 months on crutches. Fabulous, concentrated massage helped my recovery!!
