Not the Best, Over-Hyped -- Beware!
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I was a bit leary about going to Pelage after reading the various reviews of it in Citysearch, but I decided to give it a chance ... OK, so I was proven wrong! Citysearch's negative reviews were totally on-the-money. While it has a nice facade and seemed suitably elegant from the outside, the service was snooty, the treatment I got was waaaaaay less than average, and I just didn't feel comfortable or at home. Add to that, the prices were WAY too high and the value-for-the-money way too low--must be the overhead of Gilman Village and that they have to charge way too much so that they can make the rent. It's painfully obvious that the owner or staff are writing all of the positive reviews, IMHO. Just read the "editorial" review in their description ... does that sound objective to you? Beware of Pelage!! I gave it a good shot, but it didn't make the cut.

Pros: Nice entry and facade; apparently good selection of services

Cons: POOR value, high prices, lackluster services and treatment

In this case, the feedback is harder to evaluate since it contains so few specifics (type of service, provider, date of service, price comparisons, etc.) I honestly don’t know where to start or what to do to make things better for you. You mention a “snooty” attitude, price, value for the money (which is closely related to price) and interestingly, the “overhead of Gilman Village”. I suppose I could talk about our prices- any comparison with other spas will show that we are extremely competitive in price; or value- which honestly we receive very positive feedback on, or our reception staff - while I have received other fe

Ultra-ladylike spa soothes soccer moms' spirits with a French villa atmosphere and an ego-boosting staff.  See the full editorial review.
