What Palo Alto Guests Say After They Let Go
Went to the Watercourse bathhouse with my girlfriend during our visit to the Bay Area. One of the best spas that we’ve been to. Loved the staff and the cleanliness. We got the package with a massage and our private room with a sauna, hot tub and cold plunge. Our massages were absolutely amazing! Cannot wait to go again on our next visit.
