Been here a few times and the first was the most interesting as I didn't know what to expect. Everyone (Jezabel specifically) who works there is friendly and helpful answering any questions I had. Once I made it past that first time, each time got better. The privacy was a concern and after seeing the set-up of your 'suite' so you don't have to go outside and can lock yourself in cleared the confusion I had.
I prefer the white room over the blue room, and both technically do the same thing. You can choose between no lights, starry ceiling, with or w/o music. I've done w/stary lights and music...completely dark...and then dark w/music...each one a different experience.
I would recommend going at least three times as you can see what you prefer, and the last two times fell asleep it was so relaxing!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 135160Oct 16, 2023
This is a really good experience if you are looking for some serious personal relaxation time. The float tanks are spacious and tranquil. They have lots of amenities from different kinds of ear plugs, soap, hair products to wash your hair, a towel, a robe, and more.
It is important to note that if you need to wear a swimcap, you must bring your own.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 2 - Jun 2, 2023
Infinity Float had a sale & I've always been a huge fan of "Altered States" (see it!) so I bit. Boy am I glad I did!
I was immediately welcomed by Maddie at the front desk who confirmed my name & informed me my room (Blue) was ready. She suggested I hit the restroom before my hour float and then returned to give me some quick information about the sensory controls inside the float space (ear plugs, light/Star & sound options, etc). Then the glorious hour was all mine. You strip, shower & carefully step into the float room (8-10" deep). Make your sensory adjustments and off you go! Your mind does the rest. About 20-25 minutes in I forgot where my limbs were or that I had them...my imagination started running (I had sound & blue light on and mostly eyes closed). I saw organic shapes & moving flower type shapes with feminine faces emerging from each one followed by a series of uncommon floating terrains and then just a drifting twilight consciousness. Never asleep though.
All in all pretty wonderful & definitely an experience I'll have again in the near future.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mar 27, 2023
Easy check in. Cold shower before to get clean for the tank. It was a 8 x 6 ft float room id guess. It was warm and peaceful. Buttons to turn on music and stars in the celing. Personally i wore a bathing cap because i have blue hair and didnt want to get charged the 2000$ fine for dying the salt water. I also took three breaks, two because i got salt in my eyes and one other because i got too warm and needed a break from the humidity and warmth of the salt float room. My stuff was safely secured in the shower room leading up to the float room. Theres a lock on the door so no one gets in. My partner and I booked together but theres no rooms to float for two people. The receptionist was kind. I guess there was no one booked after us so we got a little extra time in the float room. Toure provided a small face cloth and body towel. We grabbed thai right after at Nana.

I'm pretty experienced at floating, and I really loved this place. The lady who greeted me at the desk was very friendly and welcoming, and explained everything very clearly. Unlike most of the places I've been to, Holos doesn't have pods, but instead has suites, so it's sort of like floating in a small room. It's much more relaxing than a pod (especially if, like me, you once got stuck in a pod -- not an experience I care to repeat). Everything is clean as a whistle and the decor is lovely too. Don't miss the stars on the ceiling during your float -- lovely and relaxing. I'll will definitely be returning.

This spa is very NY style. In and out, which I don't love. I wish they would create an oasis around the tank experience. There is a waiting area of a bench against the wall across from the floating rooms. The appointments are clearly packed in so there is little room between folks and the poor attendant is running around.
The rooms themselves are very small. The shower is right outside of the tank. Shoes go into the rooms with you, which I don't love.
They do not have pods they have rooms. I've only done the white room which I realize I prefer to the pods. There is more space in there as a bigger bodied person. They have nice star lights on the ceiling of the room which all can turn off. I wish the lights outside the tanks were automatic and turned off when you go in. There is a crack of light that comes through the doors, so you aren't completely in the dark.
There is not really a relaxation room since where the tea and water is also the waiting area, so it's kind of like when you are done, get out.
Although all of this, having the space in the rooms makes it enjoyable enough for me to get a membership. Which is a great cost for monthly hour floats.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Alyssa D.New York, NY1397May 20, 2023
I had a great experience at Holos! The float room was gorgeous, clean, and so peaceful. The staff was knowledgeable and welcoming. The only drawback is that the shower area is very small, which makes it a little tricky to get dressed. It was a fabulous experience though and I will definitely be back!

Very happy with my experience with this business, while realizing the flotation therapy is not for me.
I had always wanted to try this experience, having realized the benefits of yoga, Pilates and meditation infrequently over many years. I made my first float booking online, which was simple and easy. On arrival, the helpful and friendly receptionist answered all of my questions and set me up for the experience.
The shower and tank were clean and spacious. The water, temperature, and experience were exactly as described on their website. I couldn't quite get into the experience despite several tweaks - lighting, music etc that that tank offered and decided to cut the session short. The receptionist really took her time to understand what I was feeling and ensure I was happy.
So I do highly recommend this business as a good experience if floatation therapy is for you. While it's not for me, I would recommend Infinity Float to a friend who wanted to try it or was a regular.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 1, 2019
All I can say is this is the most relaxed I've been in a while! It was so soothing to float for an hour with the light music and dimmed lights. I was a little nervous that it would be too long, but it felt amazing to be unplugged.
A few things:
- I read a few reviews on here saying you could hear outside noise. Personally, I didn't notice that at all. I couldn't hear anything inside the chamber, and I couldn't hear noise inside the changing/shower room either.
- Definitely follow the pre-float instructions. I was glad I didn't shave the day prior because I didn't feel any stinging on my skin during the float.
- Use the ear plugs. Made it super easy to relax without worrying about getting water in my ears. I did get some water in my eyes at one point, which stung, but there's a spray bottle with regular water to rinse your face with, so that helped.
Overall, it was a really chill experience and I'd do it again!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
