Yes, there was - 1st Choice behind Gideon Hotel. You can see crumpled bedsheet, the shape of a body and oil around the shape of the body and it was fresh oil stained. What surprised me was the customer service can tell me was cleaned one. I thought, yes
"cleaned" one. Strange, she cannot differential from fresh oil stained. Since she can't win the argument, what she did subsequently was absolutely correct - to quickly change the bedsheet. But forgot to change pillow case with saliva stained on it. Then She came back to change the pillow case but giving you a used short with wet oil strain and again telling you was cleaned.
I told her, no need to put in effort to change - I am not doing massage anymore. Off, I went to other place for massage. Before I went off, I told her I am a walk-in customer, not from any tour group, and this is my first time going to First Choice Massage.
Anyway, that was 1.5 to 2 years ago and since this incident happened, I have blacklist this massage place for myself.
I guess the reason why they didn't change bedsheet & pillow case, which is basic hygiene, was because too much work as they have bus load of tourist coming in whole day non-stop. It is really non-stop because when 1 bus load assembled on grd floor lobby, presumably finished massage, the next bus load just arrived. These tourist, comprised mostly Singaporean & Malaysian, took up offers from groupon, deal.com and other on-line package that come with hotel, free tour and just add S$10/- for 1 hour massage.
To be fair to them, do they still practice the same old way now or more hygiene focus now, I don't know because I have never step in since the last time I received the first impression.
