Violet Suites PDX

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
