Violet Suites PDX

Perfect spot around the corner from lots of good places to eat. Stayed one night for a comedy show about 10 minutes away walking distance.

Amazing property. We felt so safe and the neighborhood is good. Good food walking distance. Would 100% stay here again.

Very comfortable place with many amenities. Great place to stay!

My wife and I went to Portland to visit friends and relatives, and to tour the state. We used Violet Suites PDX as a base for our visit, so did not spend a lot of time in the unit except for morning breakfast and evening return/sleeping. We stayed in the Hazlenut suite which is one of the smaller units in the complex but found it much, much more spacious and clean than a typical hotel room, like an efficiency apartment--large bathroom, and a stacked washer/dryer which was really helpful as our trip lasted about 10 days and we could wash clothes mid-week instead of packing larger suitcases. Well stocked, full cooking facilities and fridge were greatly appreciated--better than many timeshares we've stayed at over the years. Extremely quiet with little noise from neighbors or the street. Secure and safe, the locked on-site parking lot, building and room let us sleep without worry. The location was convenient for a drive to the airport, downtown Portland, local restaurants, as well as getting to the Columbia River Gorge. Although there was no front desk as such, the manager and staff were very responsive to our questions or room needs in person or by cell phone during the trip. All in all, we would definitely stay there again. A very nice alternative to a typical hotel stay.

Wonderful stay - perfect for our multi-generational "girl's trip." The staff was responsive and friendly, parking was easy and convenient, neighborhood was quiet but close to lots of restaurants. I won't stay anywhere else if I'm visiting Portland.

Our visit was seamless! Check-in instructions were clear and accurate, the property was walking distance to our destination. The bed was comfortable, and when we had a need to talk to to owners, we got a response within minutes! We'll be back.

This is my second stay at Violet Suites. I will certainly come back again. The security, quietness, and comfort one experiences makes for a good stay.

We had an amazing stay! This place was perfect and was only a five min walk to the Revolution Hall where we were seeing a concert. The steam shower and jetted tub were a dream!!! The fire in the master suite was so relaxing. This place was perfect for our group of six. Had everything we needed and more. The property was also very responsive and communicated very clearly about everything.

There is a beeping every 60 seconds in my room. I’ve tried to figure out what it is. Laundry ready? Smoke alarm low battery?
I cannot find it. But it is unnerving.

Self-check in worked great. Very quiet area, but close to many great restaurants. Will stay again

I have never used an unhosted hotel before. While that was a bump in the road when I discovered it upon arrival, the Violetta staff over the phone were very accomodating. It was a learning curve but everything else about my experience was top notch. The apartments where very nice and comfortable and turned out to be a quiet stay away from it all.

It was a great stay. I liked that the parking is gated and there are codes to enter. Definitely felt safe.

This place is a gem, it was clean, quiet and aesthetically pleasing. Secure easy parking and super easy check in. I would definitely stay here again!

Friendly service, gated, complementary ev charging. Couldn’t recommend enough.

We stayed in the Chinook suite while moving our son into Portland State. The apartment was perfect for our needs. We wanted to explore the east side while still being convenient to downtown. The outside of the building doesn’t even look residential, but once upstairs was very nicely appointed. We felt very safe. There were pockets in the surrounding areas where unhoused people gathered. They kept to themselves and so did we.

Everything was fine.

The place was well maintained. The couch and beds were incredibly comfortable.

This place is a hidden gem! It is very non-descript looking from the outside, but the inside is fabulous. The suite we stayed in was very spacious and comfortable and the decor was very pleasing. The owners have thought of many nice details to make your stay comfortable. From games and puzzles to bathroom amenities to comfortable beds and furniture, they have made great efforts to create an upscale yet relaxing atmosphere. It is close to everything in the city. If you are considering staying here, do it! This is one nice place to stay in Portland!

This hotel is a true hidden gem in Portland! Let me break down why I loved it so much based on five key criteria:

1. Safety: 10/10
If safety is your top priority, this is the place to stay. Compared to many Airbnb apartments, Violet Suites PDX feels incredibly secure. They've got locks for the parking area, the main door, and the rooms all using keypads. Plus, there are cameras everywhere. There's plenty of parking too.

2. Comfort: 10/10
The rooms are spotless and super convenient. From the outside, it might look like a typical commercial building, but inside, it’s like stepping into a beautiful castle. The photos on the website are exactly what you get in real life, which is rare. The room is packed with modern amenities, including new laundry machines and an impressive array of coffee-making tools, complete with coffee beans and a grinder. Whoever designed this place clearly has a great eye for detail.

3. Price: 10/10
The price is a steal! When my family and I arrived, my mom couldn't believe how affordable it was. She even asked if I had made a mistake with the booking because the room was so nice. We laughed about it because it was such a great deal. It's the best room design I've seen in the US, and it made us feel like we were getting so much more than we paid for.

4. Cleanliness: 10/10
The place is incredibly clean and smells wonderful. It was renovated in 2023, and it shows. Everything from the towels to the kitchen and the bedding is pristine. Our relatives, who have lived in Portland for almost 20 years, were also blown away by how nice the room was. They're planning to recommend it to their friends.

5. Care: 10/10
We arrived late at 11:00 PM and were a bit bummed not to see anyone at the front desk. But then I found detailed instructions on my phone about how to get in, and it was super easy. This hotel uses a convenient self-service system, so just make sure to check your phone messages. The property manager is super friendly and attentive. Whenever we needed anything, she was right there to help.
I really wish more hotels in the US focused on this level of care and functionality. So many expensive hotels look fancy on the outside and in the lobby, but the rooms themselves can be disappointing. What really matters is the room you stay in, and Violet Suites PDX gets that perfectly.

I regret not taking photos to share, but I will definitely be coming back to Portland and staying at this hotel again. Many times over.

the hotel is amazing
