Rose Petal Massage & Spa

I just gave birth 5 weeks ago and was in desperate need for a massage. My husband booked me an appointment with ANDRE.
Andre was amazing! The deep tissue massage was exactly what I needed. He is a big guy and was able to effortlessly apply super deep pressure in the areas i needed. He was not super chatty which was perfect because all I wanted to do was relax and enjoy.
Can’t wait for my next appointment!

I have been going on & off here for roughly 5 years. It’s always been clean, quick & right for the various massage needs. I love that I don’t need a monthly appt. & it’s a walk in place. Staff has always been great & varied & knowledgeable in so many areas.

I would not recommend this place. I got two mediocre massages here. You advertise «Deep tissue» massage, but I would argue that you don’t actually offer this, you merely list it and charge accordingly. Both massages were too light, and my request for more pressure were not really taken. One masseuse did not introduce themselves to me, which is awkward for someone who is about to rub your body. The one seemed disconnected and not concerned with my experience — didn’t check in with me at all, got the wrong side when I requested special attention for one area! It was too late when I realised this. It’s unfortunate to spend 115 dollars and not get a first name or a «hows it feeling?» ! Maybe they are not paid enough to care? I learned my lesson. This place has shown me the value of developing a relationship with an independent therapist.

Called and they fit me in right away. Jeff was very professional and the foot massage was perfect. He started to talk but then saw my eyes were closed and apologized and was quiet for the next thirty minutes. The setting isn’t great because the mall is loud but if you’re in pain it doesn’t matter and I tuned it out.

Wow! Rosepetal massage is WONDERFUL! Steve, the masseuse who gave me a foot massage was very kind and always was helping to fit my needs. You are offered aroma therapy and bath salts, which are a great addition to the foot massage, I highly reccomend it. Be aware, it is $ 5. Overall a great place. Very cheap and welcomeing.

When we first got to Portland we got a map and started to plan our day ahead. We stayed at the Marriott Downtown and we saw that the Zoo was potentially nearby and so we wanted to go and decided to walk there. However, the map wasn’t drawn to scale at all. So after 2 – 3 hours of walking around in beautiful green sceneries going uphill and eventually stumbling upon not yet bloomed rose garden we eventually just decided to go back to town. Hopefully finding our way back to civilization where we could possibly get a foot massage. After stopping by three different spas with no availability we found ourselves in the Pioneer Plaza, the big mall Downtown Portland and were directed by another salon to go to Rose Petal Massage & Spa.
Over it, my friend and I just wanted a massage with no interest in shopping at all. Thankfully! We were both able to get in at least 30 minutes one after the other. It’s a nice little space, the rooms were only covered with black curtains, being able to hear everything around you even through the relaxing music being played. The table warmed up which was great because coming from a warm climate to a much cooler one was comforting. My therapist was really nice and was super strong. 30 minutes flew passed as she loosened the knots in my back. To be honest I think I might have fallen asleep. It was that great.
This place was also 50% cheaper than all the other places we visited. They were smaller and they just so happened to be able to fit us in. I also know how busy salons and spas get with my experience as a receptionist so always book in advance! Massage therapists are great people and are always open to adjusting their pressure to your liking so don’t forget to speak up and relax!

After our weekend of shopping in Portland and walking about three hours a day, this was a welcome treat before heading back home on Sunday! Unlike other foot massages, Rose Petal’s massage concentrated wholly on your feet. And, what a treat! All our pressure points were treated to pampering and we left floating to our train ride back home! Thanks again!

Wrong place sorry!

I get massages regularly, but my LMT is in Tigard and I work downtown. Sometimes I just need something to get me through the week, so it was nice to discover Rose Petal Massage at Pioneer Place. I really like their online appointment system. (For those of you reading negative reviews of this place about having trouble walking in for a massage, I’d recommend you make an appointment on your smartphone then come back in at that time.)
After you’ve secured an appointment, here’s what you need to know:
PROS: the swedish massage by Dawn Pearce was really nice. She gave me a full body relaxing massage, something that an overworked person like myself really needed. She was on time for the appointment (I was the first of the day), and she gave me a FULL HOUR massage, not a 1 hour appointment like some other facilities do. She was attentive to my needs and did a great job. So you’ll really enjoy yourself once you relax into the massage moment. Also, the price of the massage is really good. In downtown Portland, you can normally expect to pay upwards of $ 80 for a one hour massage. $ 65 an hour is really a good deal, and you get a discount if you work in the mall or in the Pioneer tower (as I do).
CONS: you’re in a MALL. They are required to leave the front door open, and the only thing separating you from the shoppers and other store customers is a couple of thin curtains hanging from wires hooked in the ceiling. You will hear kids screaming, people’s conversations, squeaking mechanical noises from the escalators, and (the worse) bad jazz standard programming from Pioneer Place’s awful music system. Just when I started getting into the zone, I’d suddenly hear some awful echoey saxophone, big band 50s song, or a soaring voice over a ballad belting it out as if they were in front of the judges on American Idol. I did mention the cacophony to Dawn, and she said mall management wouldn’t allow her the freedom to install soundproof rooms, which would be a terrific improvement.
OVERALL: I will be back, but next time, with headphones! And if they’re able to get that long-​term lease and install soundproof rooms in the back, I’d be happy to change the rating to 5 stars.

I get regular deep tissue massages and foot reflexology every 2 weeks or so and this was the most ineffective massage I’ve ever gotten in my life. I got a 30 minute foot massage and 30 minute back (table) massage. There appeared to be only one (male) massage therapist, Jeff, working at the time and since I was looking to kill time in the mall, I agreed although I would have been more comfortable with a female masseuse. The shoulder and back massage were rather limp, I told him to exert more pressure which he did but he was still not hitting the right spots. The foot massage was even more of a non-​event. There was hardly any pressure exerted at all and he was not hitting the right pressure points. I left with my feet, back and shoulders still completely aching. I wish I hadn’t gone for this massage as I felt it was a waste of money and that a layperson could have given me a better massage.

I am in town temporarily for work. My neck was in great pain, and I was able to make an appointment online (love the online option!) for that same afternoon. Becca was my massage therapist, and she was absolutely wonderful! (I would highly recommend her!) She listened to my needs, and maintained open communication about whether I was too hot, too cool, and had enough pressure. She was extremely flexible to my needs also, and my 45-​minute upper body massage was able to be turned into a 90-​minute upper body massage. (Thankfully her schedule allowed for this change.) Her mannerism is soft and kind, and yet her hands are very strong. My neck feels 500% better. Thank you, Becca!

Despite being in a mall, this was the most amazing place! I was happy to stumble upon Rose Petal while in town. Dawn was friendly, professional and provided a very relaxing atmosphere for my Swedish massage. And best yet, a full hour for only $ 65! Totally recommend.

Absolutely fantastic! Found Rose Petal this week and will go back on a weekly basis. The stress of the work day is relieved when you can walk in and have a chair massage. The staff was friendly and warm. Highly recommend.
THANK YOU!!!

Mostly unresponsive and less than good customer service, they couldn’t even understand their Billing system… so left with no service after choosing them over another location with no massage…

They need to changed the description of this business to «by appointment only». It’s so hard to get a chair massage or table massage here if you are just a walk in customer.
I used to be able to get a massage here without waiting for too long because they always have enough employees worked at that time. Now, I had to wait for 20 minutes then when I came back they told me it was another 15 minutes because someone came by when I was not there. Why they don’t make her wait or how she got in before my 20 minutes waiting time was a mystery to me.
The latest visit, we got there at 5:30 on Tuesday evening and it was only one employee worked for that evening. She was about to do her appointment and told me that she booked for the rest of the evening. It will be nice if they have another employee there.
I stop trying to go there now. It used to be nice because I can just walk in. I’m giving my business to Massage Envy at John’s Landing. They have plenty of days and hours that will suit me.

I visit Rose Petal weekly for a chair massage, with occasional table massages. They have great customer service, excellent prices, and make sure that the massage I’m getting is the massage I want (pressure, location, etc).
If you’re in the mall, I highly recommend giving their 15 min chair massage a try: if it doesn’t convince you how good they are, my words won’t do any better.

My husband and I got a couples massage and we both totally enjoyed our massages! It’s in a mall which seems iffy, and you could sort of hear some talking from the lobby, but it comes down to the massage and I would say we got some high quality massages! I fell asleep for a bit, and I got some knots worked out. Good stuff!

UPDATE: The spa owner apologized for not keeping our walk-​in after we waited. If you want to ensure your appointment — call ahead of time at 503.227.0985.
I’ve spent a lot of money on this place. Likely hundreds of dollars. It’s great and convenient and usually not crowded, and it’s a great relief from office work. The people there are nice and polite, and are great at massage. If you go, which I still suggest you do, don’t make it on a Friday, and call ahead to reserve your appointment.
Original review:
Make sure you get an appointment! My friend and I walked in to get a massage as we usually do and had a woman tell us that she was busy and to come back at 4pm. That was perfectly fine with me. This was a walk in, so I didn’t mind to wait. I told her, «yes, I’ll be back at 4Pm» and my friend and I left to wait at the yoghurt place a short distance away. We waited patiently until 4Pm.
We walked back in at exactly 4Pm to find a big crowd of people there. Apparently they had booked enough massages after we left that the next available appointment was at 5:10. They said that they didn’t think we’d come back. What does arriving precisely at 4Pm say about not coming back?
That’s after we waited a full 20 minutes for a massage. Next time they tell me to come back I’m going to sit on their couch and physically wait for an appointment and stare at them to make sure they don’t book anyone in front of me. I wanted a short massage, and I was prepared to wait a half hour or so, but I didn’t want to wait 1.5 hours out of work to have a 20 minute massage. We left quite angrily.
Apparently a lot of people say they’ll come back at a certain time and they never do. I guess they thought we were those types of people. They could have at least asked if we’d like to make an appointment for 4Pm. They didn’t seem very upset about it either. After this experience, I realize their «walk ins» sign isn’t very accurate. All I wanted was an apology, or maybe some sort of coupon, or some signal that they actually cared.
