Reviews
The spa was lovely in terms of ambiance and service, and the experience itself was relaxing and well done. However, the cost-to-time ratio felt slightly off. While they clearly advertise 50- and 80-minute sessions, the pricing is on the higher end, and for that level of cost, I would typically expect the more standard 60–90 minute format that many spas follow. Ten minutes may not sound like much, but at that price point, it does feel noticeable.
I completely understand the need for time between appointments for cleaning and preparation, but ideally that buffer time shouldn’t come at the expense of the client’s session length. For a property as upscale and polished as The Galt House — with luxury rooms, rooftop dining, and full-service amenities — I would expect the spa experience to feel equally aligned in value and timing.
That said, the spa itself was still enjoyable and professionally run. Overall, the stay was wonderful, convenient, and comfortable, and I would absolutely return. Just something to consider if you are comparing spa pricing and session lengths.
The restaurants and food are open early and late so it’s easy to not be hungry.
There were only two issues. The bed is hard as a rock and offers no support, and the pillows feel like sleeping on rubber.

Food is good. Beer is great.
I must say we didn't see our server one time after she took our order. I finally tracked the manager down to pay the bill.
No one came to offer a refill or to see if we needed anything!
It was a Friday night, however at least an hour before the dinner rush started.
The food was just okay. Not great or awful. But the waitress was awful. Our appetizers sat in front of us before she served them for 20 minutes. We didn't get a refill (over an hour meal) until we called the manager. Manager never apologized for bad service. Waitress argued that she had taken care of us.
If I had a 0 star rating that's my score. 0/10
I get better service from a drive through. More friendly too
