I'm not the most frequent of spa goers - I'd love to go once a month but the 401k calls, so I to go every two or three months - however I've been to Refresh several times over the years I've been in San Francisco, either alone or with friends, and it never fails to please. I've always found the reception staff cheerful, helpful and willing to please, either with treatment suggestions, or looking up past treatment or product purchases. I was also impressed that they remembered a friend I visited with in the past! I've enjoyed all my treatments too - the staff are skillful at what they do, and friendly but without being too intrusive. The locker rooms are lovely - clean and spacious, not like the challenging closets found in some spas! I appreciate the opportunity to linger as long as I want in the sauna and steam rooms before I slide into the comfy robe and relax before my treatments. I've had mani/pedi's (great to do with a friend since you can chat!) facials (I tried the ultra cleanse facial which I read about on Citysearch and it was fabulous, my skin was really soft and clean and looked great for days!) My favorite is always going to be massage, since I think this is the very best reason to go to a spa! I've tried the Refresh Massage and the Pohaku massage (their name for hot rock massage) as well as reflexology and deep tissue. I like them all :) and the prices are very reasonable, especially compared with some of the newer spas in San Francisco. Refresh is showing its "seniority" well!
Pros: Nice staff, good prices, sauna and steam, locker rooms
Cons: none to think of
