Reviews of Knot Springs (Spa)

Greg Ellis

My girlfriend and came to Knot Springs for massages followed by time in the pools + sauna. All was exceptional and we can say nothing but amazing things about our experience. Everything was beautiful, quality, casual, friendly, and clean. Oby and Valorie were our LMTs and both of us were floored with the wonderful care they took to tailor our massages to precisely what we needed. 90min was amazing but we coulda gone forever! The pools and saunas were magnificent and so crucial after getting a massage. The views were spectacular-- it's amazing to watch the hurried world rush by from the comfort of a hot tub overlooking the city :-) All the guests we exchanged words with were friendly, outgoing, and incredibly interesting to speak with. I felt like we could have struck friendships with a majority of the people after our casual conversations. All in all it was wondrous and we can't wait to come back. Thanks Knot Springs!! XoXo

Amazing classes and soaking pools with a view.

Jordan Graboyes

Love the atmosphere, just wish it was a little less expensive so i could go more often!

A fantastic wellness hour. My friend and I scheduled for an hour during their discount day time hours. Small baths and city spa but it felt private and intimate. (One of each warm, cold and hot tub, seating area, and sauna and steam room). The locker rooms were connected pretty fluidly but also you can change/shower very privately. I thought the architecture and design of the layout of the spaces was very unique and used the parking garage really coolly. A beautiful relaxing hour and I definitely want to go back! Parking was $5 an hour and we couldn't find any free 2 hour parking in the area. The parking garage is very tight and they don't validate your parking.

Seriously such a special experience, and the perfect surprise for my husband's birthday. Isabel and Valorie made sure that everythinggg was taken care of for us, and really made our experience one to remember! Thank you thank you thank you! :)

Gene Nuss

Nice place.

Eric Emanuel

So glad this place exists. Wanted to sit in a pool and found this place. The whole cycle did wonders for my skin.

Brendan Clark

Beautiful place to relax. The hydrotherapy is particularly calming and relaxing, especially if you just got a massage! There are changing rooms available, although they are not incredibly private (open walls to the lobby area). It is pricey, but worth one visit even if you are just doing a day pass to the pools. Tip: do not park in the garage if you are staying longer than an hour. They validate for one hour only, and it is $5/hour. Plenty of surface parking available.

Steam room is the shiznit.

Megan Lent

The staff and services are excellent. The facility is clean, and has a great view. Only drawback is the locker area is right next to the front desk, and very crowded.

Jayme Seppala

Loved it!!

Samuel House

Go for the cold plunge. It is invigorating.

Chris James

Even if you don't get any of the treatments or do any of their classes, taking advantage of the soaking pools/sauna/stream room is worth going!! I'm not sure if I've ever felt more relaxed than after an hour of hopping back and forth between the pools and watching the traffic go by from the incredible view they have.

Jaime Diedrich

Very relaxing. Ask for a robe! Bring a good book.

Capri Victoria

I absolutely ADORE the eco chic setting and attention to detail that gets put into the whole experience at Knot Springs. They provide the most clean, elegant and thoughtful soaking/self care experience I have ever had the pleasure of indulging in! Will bring many friends!

Ron Swanson

I was 2 minutes late to a class and hey refused to let me attend it even though I called in 30 minutes in advance to let them know I was running a few minutes behind schedule. Ok. No problem it was my fault I was late however, when I asked if they would honor the class at another date they said no and that they already charged he card in full and there was no refunds. I basically paid $205 for a 1.5 hour massage and a 2 hour soak. The massage was great but the management of this place is sub par.

Matthew Leonard

Absolutely love this place! Great view, friendly atmosphere. Just expect to be sleepy and relaxed after your springs visit!

Chase McPeak

The only fault? The steam machine for the steam room is loud.

Christopher Glenn

My second visit, right after riding the PDX Century earlier in the day. I always feel absolutely awesome after a visit.

Julz Vallejo

I definitely need to go here again. I absolutely loved it here.

Jessica LaHue

Fantastic day! Massage and spa was amazing. I highly recommend this jewel in the heart of Portland.

Brandon Sams

Amazing, magical, my own oasis in the city!

Kristin Bowers

My husband and I went here over the weekend for the first time and both got some of the best and most thorough massages we had ever received compliments of Valerie and Roy. We highly recommend both if them if you're looking at getting a massage soon.

Daniel Rider

Beautiful spa with great views, friendly service, and elegant decor.

Chris Lane

One word, AWESOME!

Olivia Duren

It was a pre-hookup frat party. And I'm still trying to resolve an overcharge for TWO extra soaks! My sister, mother and I went to Knot Springs for a little relaxation together. They got massages, and were a little appalled at being herded to their treatments in a big group. Nonetheless, the soaking pools, steam, and sauna were pleasant but almost immediately overfilled with rowdy 20-somethings groping each other and making so much noise we couldn't hear each other talk. I would consider chalking all this up to a (very) off day but upon seeing our bill found that we were overcharged an extra $110! When I notified the Operations Director she insisted everything was fine and sent me my mom's invoice (anybody else get a red flag with sharing financial information between customers?). Upon my request for further detail, she went silent. Are really they trying to blow me off? Seriously?

Britney Ward

Extraordinary & Unique! The sofa I've been dreaming of!

Alyssa Perry Personal Fitness

So nice. Did a soak and Barre class and loved it but wouldn't go often because of the price.

I was a bit hesitant to go to my first 90 min massage but after a summer of hard work this place was exactly what I needed. The "springs" are super fun and I totally recommend doing the order they recommend through at least once, even though the cold plunge is painful it's super refreshing. Josh was amazing, totally suited the massage to my needs and was more than happy to work with my super messed up back and shoulders. I've only had a few other massages, so I'm no expert, but the professionalism and commitment to actually helping me in the long run rather than providing surface level temporary relief was evident and outstanding. This guy really knows his stuff and is perfect for a stressed out guy who lifts too many things for a living. Love this place and can't wait to be back.

Did the soak & foot rub. Worth it!!!

Stephanie A

I'm glad I didn't pay for it. It's not a social club. I would have had more social interactions waiting to be hanged. The cold water\hot water/steam was interesting and invigorating and that was worth the money but drop the motto about being a social club. Your area is tiny and clients colder than the water. Also your staff spends all their time on their phones.

Cassie Hall

Amazing place! Awesome night views!

Greer Martin

The massage was amazing. Total skills here.

Sala Kannan

Wow, such a rejuvenating experience! A friend and I used the springs which consists of two warm water soaking pools of different temperatures, one cold plunge pool, a sauna and a steam room. We followed their instructions and used the pools in a certain order. We loved it! The views from the springs are stunning. The balcony outside is also beautiful, and a great spot to rehydrate, contemplate, and relax. All you have to do is take your swim suit. They give you everything else - nice towels, slipper, drinking water, soap, shampoo etc. Their bath products were all lovely, my favorite was the exfoliating scrub. Can’t wait to go back, and highly recommend Knot Springs!

I was charged for a class I never attended. I called a day before the class to cancel my appointment. They informed me that the card was already charged for the full amount. I asked if I could change the date for the class instead of a refund. Management told me it was not possible.. thanks knot springs. I really wanted to like you but unfortunately things did not work out. Maybe next time you should try attracting your clients with honey rather than sour milk.

Stefania Feltre

we went for the "spring". Cool space, clean and pretty hip. Very relaxing experience, we'll be back

Jordan Tull

UX Fail. The check-in, disrobe, pay and go process is a bizarre mess. But the soaking tubs are wonderful.

Laura Wutzke-Lucas

Great place to soak and relax.

Jordan Taylor

The entire experience was top notch, from the moment we arrived the staff was friendly and courteous. The decor was a smart modern blend of wood, cement and metal. We stepped into the spa area where there were 2 hot tubs, a cold tub (~42 degrees) a steam room, and a sauna (200degrees). The spa itself is a couple stories up (i think its 3 or 5) and has floor to ceiling windows, a hanging harden in the ceiling and tea and water stations about the place. They even have a patio area where you can just sit and relax and cool off. Very happy, we will definitely be back once their rennovation is complete.

One of the coolest places I have ever been. Come for a good massage and stay all day at the baths

Jordan Decker

Fantastic! Relaxing yet energizing at the same time. Beautiful views from the pools, we went a little early but I bet it's even better at sunset. Make reservations in advance, they book up quick!

Toby Johnson

Good

Steve Bigham

Very nice facility that is well maintained with an emphasis towards service.

Absolutely no pricing information available either by phone or website unless you sign up name, phone# and email. I do want an endless stream of emails and phone calls for basic pricing information.

Ryan Malia

OMG...

Shiloh Frauen

Beautiful place that sets you up for max relaxation from the moment you step in. The staff is friendly and available without being overbearing.

Angi Vandenbos

What a cool place!

Yard Leasing Manager 2

So greatful to have Knot Springs on site at YARD! Most relaxing place in PDX!

Toby Barnes

Can get a little night club like on Fridays. But a quiet day is like a tiny party in heaven

Georgia Mitasev

Great massage and very relaxing time in the springs. Only downside is the bathroom. Not enough space to get ready after services. Maybe they should limit the number of guests at one time for that reason alone.

Christopher

I went for the spa experience and it was just okay. The locker room/ men's changing area and shower is very cramped so expect to bump into somebody. The shower handle for the shower in the men's area was confusing and difficult to get to a warm temperature. The spa area itself is also small, but as long as there are less than 10 people in one of the tubs it isn't that awkward. There is plenty of water available (one cooler with pandan in it) as well as warm tea, which is great. All in all I would say it was more of a chore rather than a relaxing experience.

Patrick Key

Great service, friendly staff, very clean and relaxing

I really wanted to write a great review as it was a birthday celebration and all, but unfortunately it fell a bit short. For what it’s worth I will say that the facility is clean, beautiful and the staff are kind. The massage was great. Hands down one of the best. I think the part that makes this a 3 for me out of a 5 was the overall atmosphere and the layout. This facility is located in a shared high rise with other businesses and apartments. The experience felt very bisected and disrupted. As you shuffled from your soaking pool to the massage you walk wet in a cold corridor outside past other businesses and wait around for someone to call you. It felt a bit disorganized and overall not very relaxing and immersive considering the price. I would return for the massage alone. But the spa itself has a lot of kinks to work out in order for the overall experience to feel genuinely relaxing.

My husband and I booked two massage sessions at Knot Springs for one of our vacation days however we received a phone call just a few hours before we were scheduled to tell us they weren't actually opened to the public that day. We called to book the appointments several days before hand and received a confirmation email and everything, so I'm not really sure how it didn't get picked up until the day of our appointment. I'm really disappointed with how unprofessional this whole situation is, especially considering it was such short notice that we were unable to book anywhere else for the day. I'm amazed that a place that sells itself as being "world class" is so unorganized and unreliable.

Kristina Malimon

This place brings to life a very unique experience. An amazing experience!

John Kempf

Top notch service and facility. Try the tea!

Justin Ringle

Geared towards small groups but I still found it relaxing when going solo.

Sekoynia Wright

Pretty building, seemingly nice atmosphere, and the SPA area definitely helps!

Tiffany Blackmon

Positives: the space itself is newer and nice, clean overall. Mostly friendly staff. A quality massage for the price. The springs have a nice view and are a unique experience in the city. They provide fliflops, a poncho, and have a bathing suit dryer. Negatives: the overall experience and quality isn’t there. A small sign directs you to the entrance. The waiting area is small and minimal. Two staff were working, and checked us in. We were directed to the springs, and given a short tour there and shown our lockers. There are no dedicated dressing areas, only 2 showers, 2 bathroom stalls and otherwise people just standing around blocking the area because of a lack of separate changing area. The bathroom area was missing any toilet paper in one stall, and the other was dirty. The floor of the whole bathroom was wet, since it’s used to change out of wet attire. The setup just doesn’t make sense. You get changed if needed, put your stuff in the locker and then shower off and head in the springs. A single shower is at the springs entrance, and it looks into the men’s changing area. The springs are nice, the view is mostly nice. There’s a sauna and an outdoor seating area. Water and tea are available. It got pretty crowded though and it was a weekday during non peak hours even. They get you from the springs to take you to your treatment. You put on a poncho and travel in a wet bathing suit and poncho outdoors and walk to the massage area. After your massage, you are expected to put back on your wet poncho. Why they don’t give you a robe like most spas or at least a fresh poncho is beyond me. Why you’re required to go in the springs before a treatment and not after also makes no sense. Afterward, no one explained to us where to go to check out or payment. We assumed where we checked in and went there. The system was slow for adding a tip and for using a gift certificate. Their site shows the CBD massage and all massages being $130 yet they charged $145 for it. Overall, the springs are nice but not worth the price alone unfortunately since this wasn’t my top choice for a spa. The massage itself was good but the room was oddly laid out, requiring the masseuse to walk back and forth constantly to get lotion and/or hot stones. I did not like the set up with the locker rooms, wearing a wet suit after etc- I’d prefer more of a traditional spa experience.

Hayden Berry

Customer service at the front desk is unreasonable and rude. If you want to book a reservation for multiple people it is impossible. App only allows one reservation and getting ahold of a customer service rep is impossible.

ZeroGravity 360 Productions

Amazing soaking pool area with an amazing view! It is so relaxing an has anamazing vibe to get "zenned" out! Very knowledgeable staff and awesome fitness classes.

Brandon Fritz

Amazing indoor spa with tea and infused water to enjoy! I personally enjoyed the 42 degree pool as I am always feeling too warm!
