Your best choice in that area is HK Men's Spa.

I would like to see a nice clean place open in Danbury Ct. Or anywhere along I-84 within 20 miles of Danbury.   I enjoy a nice table shower before my massage and the opportunity to wash after my massage

Now I’m pissed off!! Thanks @maninsoma for pointing this out. Indeed there are two negative reviews on Yelp for Chelsea Men, both by the same person… one from 2 days ago with identical text above by @TerryAance and the second with identical text by another forum member @HornieMikey who in this thread accused myself and others of being Chelsea Men employees and posting bogus reviews. 
So… I can only surmise that @TerryAance and @HornieMikey are the same person. And… all posts under these two names, particularly on Chelsea Men Spa, should be at least considered suspect. 
What a bummer… feeling empathy and giving advice on something that’s not what it seems.

I'll just point out that according to you posted a similar "review" on Yelp that also has a previous negative review of the same spa by you.  It certainly makes me wonder if you have an axe to grind against this place since I know I'm not likely to patronize a business again where I felt they deserved a 1-star review.

@TerryAance you’d likely be spending a lot of money for little result. But if you paid a visit to the police station closest to the spa and told them what happened, at a minimum they’d be on notice and perhaps they’ve already been reported. Also put a review on both their Google Biz ad and on Yelp.

Your first instinct was the correct answer .
With no police report, you have no evidence and no case.
Just let it go.
 

$75 for a shower?  Wow.  NYC water rates must be steep.   
Thirsty? Want a cup of water at Spa?   Better ask how much first!  
I can understand time of shower being included in massaage hour, but priced separately, and then waiting time  included in the hour for massage?  What?? 
Nevertheless, I'd chalk it up to a bad experience and not visit again. 
 Thanks for the warning about this place.  

Chalk it up to a loss. Doing even Small Claims Court is going to cost you a lot of time and energy.
By letting us know your experience here, Chelsea SPA is going to lose more than  $75 shower and $60 massage sessions.

Nah, going to the police to file suit and getting a lawyer will cost more money, whether in cash or time and headaches, and not much will come of it. For a lost $100 or so, it isn’t worth it.
Try Small Claims Court instead. No lawyer, modest filing fee, better chance for success at getting your money back. https://dol.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2023/02/ls602.pdf

most sex stores in chelsea/hells kitchen have them. There are even some with play areas. Ive even gotten naked in some of them!

I've gone there after a stressful day at work at my day job once or twice recently.
I only go in and out to use the showers and sauna just to treat myself somewhat since I don't feel like paying for equinox 🤣.
Can't speak on tweakers, haven't seen many of those wander to the steam room.

Just got back from seeing Peter and his massage is solid and the ending was really enjoyable. 

Or filming 

I had a super session with Zaid yesterday. What a great, personable guy with an incredible technique that’s all his own. After getting massages for so many years, so nice to experience some new approaches and moves. It could have been just a tad stronger, which I’ll ask for on my 2nd visit, but it felt like he was making love to my muscles. And “yes” to… 

I’d ignore these first two RM reviews until someone in this forum actually reports a real experience. I’m pretty sure they are by the same person, and he has an axe to grind with Bodi. The review by “pennstation” is the exact same text that the first reviewer “upipi” gave another ex-W Men masseur who went off on his own, and all of Upipi’s RM reviews are on former Spa workers. My guess is that Bodi used to work in one of the spas.

Can you please share some of those masseurs profiles ? Thanks. I haven’t paid $ 160 for more than therapeutic since 2019. 

My type of masseur. $ 160 is definitely just therapeutic in NYC. I might take the plunge anyway. 

Market for massage plus even just a standard MT & HE is $180-200.

I just went to New Eastmen Spa on east 16th after a long time . The manager Matthew is doing a very nice job with the place . It’s clean and comfortable . He texted me yesterday to promote the place and finally after a long stretch of just work and travel I was able to get some leisure time . I asked for Leo who is my usual guy in this spa but I was told that he is in China at the moment so I was suggested  William . William is about 40s on the skinny side in shape and gave me a light somewhat technical massage without any sensuality at all (but YMMV). 1/2 hr of over towel and then lots of oil and back rubbing barely touching my nice butt. Once flipped he attempted a mechanical HE which I stopped and so he gave me a very light face massage instead of a foot rub (I take good care of my feet) which would have made more sense . I don’t like to tell the masseur how to do their job unless they asked specifically if they are too heavy or too light. I scheduled 90 min and I was supposed to get a shower scrub at the end for a $96 special but I declined the shower/spa and still got charged $96 plus the massage was 5 min short . I gave my usual big tip and left the place missing Leo a lot. 
To be fair I sent this review to the manager and he was very sweet .
