Ashton Massage, 4226 St-Jean, Dollard

Had received a "free 30 minute massage coupon" in 1 of the coupon envelopes delivered to the house, so, thought I would give this place a try. Not only did I have to make an appointment days in advance, when I got there today (Feb.18), the parking lot of this office building was in such atrocious condition -- the ice seemed to be better than at the Bell Centre -- with all of the convenient, at-the-door spots "reserved" for businesses that haven't seen a customer in 20 years like the "Tro-Chic Boutique", that I wasn't going to risk falling on my McMullen and needing more than a massage. Don't blame the bad parking lot on the weather...I was shopping at Metro, having lunch at Chenoy's, and their lots had been looked after. The problem is squarely on Ferro Property Management, the owners of the building, who were too cheap to spread some salt or adhesives, or to have simply plowed the lot properly the first time around. I slid my way back to my car, and went home. There are other places for massage which don't put one's life in jeopardy by struggling to visit, I don't need a free massage that badly.

Boy it sure is refreshing to get an honest review of parking lot conditions in and around Montreal after a terrible storm that we had .. after all I think you really need a good massage to relax a bit and then let us know how it went!

I think the point being that here is a business that could have cared less if its clientele fell and broke their hip or leg getting in...when other businesses had cleared the ice, they had not. I went for a massage today (Sunday) in Dorval at the Odyssey, and the parking lot had been sanded to a degree, and was manageable, while my pal Mellonhead went to a place that was a skating rink a day after the storm had occurred, that had had 24 hours to at least sprinkle some sand but had not. If Friday was a "terrible" storm, guess you weren't here in 1998...try being without power for over a week, a month in some areas...commuter trains shut down for over a week...etc., etc.

my point is relax ...every where was bad ......and in 98 it was a natural disaster.
