Inn at Northrup Station

One seriously cool hotel.
Stayed there for a couple of nights while on vacation. Loved everything about this place. The staff was incredible and super helpful. The location is great, as it is near almost everything we went to Portland to do. They have a really nice complimentary breakfast every morning, as well as an evening reception on various days.
The décor in this hotel was so neat! I have never been to a hotel like it. If I go back to Portland, (which I hopefully will) I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else but here.

My favorite hotel in Portland, maybe the country! Funky décor, good breakfast, and each room has a patio. Well worth the extra money to break free from your typical Chain hotel experience.

Perfectly located on Nob Hill and in 5 min walk from Pearls District, it has a boutique feel with a quirky décor. The rooms are spacious, stylish, with amenities, including a kitchenette, a balcony, 2 TVs, free WiFi. Comfortable beds. Also, free parking! Continental breakfast was compact but everything you need, great yogurts, make it yourself waffles, bagels, granolas/​cereals, etc. We will stay there again, with pleasure.

I’m a former Oregonian and am back in town for a quick visit. I know the NW area very well and never knew about this hidden gem until looking for something accessible to friends, public transit, and great restaurants — while being more affordable than the overpriced hotels downtown. What a great find! Great locations, very cute digs, personal decks, clean and comfortable room/​bed, free parking, and quite the variety of complimentary breakfast options! I recommend this place to all!

Friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, comfy beds, and convenient location to streetcar stops. The week we were there, the hotel had happy hour in the lobby Wednesday and Thursday night where you could sample wine and locally brewed beers. The housekeeping schedule was a bit confusing (we didnt get serviced until late afternoon, so we scheduled our outings around it). Overall though… outstanding hotel experience, thank you Inn at Northrup Station!

Just got back from a three night stay here. It was my first time visiting Portland and I loved this hotel! The décor is so cool and you can get some great views of the city from their outdoor patio. They also give out free street car tickets and there’s a station just a few feet down (hence the name…). It’s super close to different retail shops and some great eating spots. Definitely check out Salt & Straw for ice cream and Blue star Donuts.
I love that the rooms come with a full kitchen, stove, full fridge, microwave etc. The USB ports and make up remover wipes are plus as well. If you’re planning on doing some yoga during your stay they have mats in the rooms too. The night we arrived they were having a complimentary beer tasting night with cheese, meats, and crackers. Would totally stay here again.

Good pillows, USB charging ports everywhere, in-​room kitchen, free parking /​breakfast /​wifi, friendly staff, and some truly funky decorating. The PDX Street Car stops right out front and the hotel will give you free passes for it! Give it a try!

We came for a quick weekend visit and had a mostly enjoyable experience. Bed was comfy, front desk attendants were super nice. Room was clean when we arrived. On the last morning of our stay, we awoke to find a trail of ants on the bathroom floor. We essentially just killed them, checked out. It wasn’t too much of an inconvenience for us because we were leaving, but if they had showed up earlier, it would have been a different story. We also had a couple issues finding parking, which we expected, but it was still kind of a pain.

! ! ! ! FILTHY ROOM, NOT CLEANED, HAIR ON SOAP ! ! ! !
We just got here and already there are problems. There is some guy with tattoos walking up and down the halls. He knocked on our door and just started talking. He was talking with the front desk when we arrived and they didn’t seem to care at all.
There are ants just like people say online everywhere.
It gets worse. There is hair in the sink as well as on the shampoo. The shampoo bottle wrapper was already open. I dont know if they just refil them. Its really dirty though. I wanted to take a shower but after seeing this I changed my mind.
The toilet had been used by someone prior to our stay. We had to wipe it down before we could use it with soap.
It is true that the internet works intermittently and extremely slow.
I am handicap and there is a white 4 wheel drive car blocking the entrance. Its parked so that if you need the handicap space you have a really hard time backing out of it. Nice going folks and a big Thankyou for that one.
I hope they offer me my money back. This was such a bad stay I actually feel ill now. This was a very stressful stay that should have been fun with my daughter. Great expectations ruined.
Not recommended and I wont be back. I will let listeners on my radio show know how bad it is here.

Stayed here oct 2015 and had a wonderful experience! My family and I came here for a little vaca.
Accommodations were very clean and well kept. The bed was comfortable and sheets were not dry/​scratchy. Room was spacious and my toddler was able to crawl all around without us tripping over him. The kitchenette was also stocked with all the utensils and standard appliances.
Staff was very friendly and helpful with directions and places to go. You can get free tickets on the light rail located right outside the hotel. Also on certain nights they have happy hour with local wine or beer, which was awesome. They also provide breakfast complimentary, which is something you don’t see a lot in Portland. The food was standard but fresh and filling.
Only downside is that they don’t have a gym but you can alternatively just walk /​bike everywhere!
I would definitely stay here again.

Downgrading this hotel to a 3 or 3.5 stars as this hotel is not ideally suited for a business traveler such as myself.
Great location and large rooms.
The internet access is sporadic/​inconsistent (often disconnected using my VPN), as is the television reception – certain channels (last night I wanted to watch a football game in my room and there was no signal for ESPN). Breakfast is free but very basic, and I usually end up walking to a nearby Starbucks instead. You can hear people walking in the room above you. Not saying I would not come back here again, but will be trying a different hotel on my next visit (s) to see if I am missing anything and can get more consistent internet and television service… also, no gym – you can pay to workout at an LA Fitness, but some hotels have equipment, even if only limited equipment.

Absolutely love this place. Stayed here for 2 nights with my boyfriend. We want to live here!
The staff are absolutely wonderful. They are so nice, helpful, smiley and personable. That’s a BIG tick in the service industry. The rooms are worth every penny. Lots of character instead of just a boring, all white, plain hotel room. Sweet little balcony to check out the streets of Portland. And a full kitchen!
Will definitely be staying here again if I come back.

I love this place. It feels like the band Devo decorated it with a splash of 80’s Madonna… in a good Portlandia way. The rooms are tremendously spacious; beds are super comfortable, and I love the little kitchen for keeping drinks and snacks.
It is a bit noisy but nothing crazy like New York City or San Francisco. They do offer a small breakfast in the morning which is adequate, but there are plenty of quaint restaurants within walking distance.
The Inn is located in one of the hippest areas of Portland. I’m originally from Portland but live in SF now. The Northwest side gives you great restaurants, cool clothing shops and interesting people to chat with. It’s super easy to catch transportation to hit the SE side of Portland and visit Hawthorne and the Mt. Tabor district.
It’s more on the pricey side but worth it. If you’re on a romantic getaway or visiting for business, I would highly recommend staying here.

Every bit as kitschy as the photos suggests! The paint jobs were pretty zany, with lots of bright purple, green, yellow, and orange and weird mutating geometric shapes all over the place. I loved it; I can see how some wouldn’t, but, you should really know that it looks like this going in.
Aside from that, the hotel was absolutely spotless, staff was friendly, and rooms were huge. The king suites had a complete kitchen with stove and full-​size refrigerator. The queen suites had an extra bed, but they still had a half-​size refrigerator.
Breakfast is basic but high quality — multiple kinds of bagels and cheese, and hard-​boiled eggs. Sunday morning I got downstairs a little late and they were cleaning up, but they still made sure I had food. There are also coffee and tea machines, candy, and fruit available ²⁴⁄₇.
We were here on a company retreat, and they were very accommodating for our large group (22). We got seven rooms and they were able to give us three sets of adjoining rooms. They made sure that we had streetcar passes for the day when we went out.
Their common areas (the tables in the lobby, and the rooftop garden) were perfect for informal meeting spaces. The next streetcar marquis in the lobby was helpful too.
They offer wine on Wednesday and beer tasting on Thursday, with cheese and charcuterie. You get two glasses of wine; the beer is more like tasters. Still, a great perk and totally complimentary.
Location is in a cute charming neighborhood with an abundance of cute charming restaurants shops and bars.
When I go to Portland in the future, I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else.

Everything is colorful and mismatched all over the place! It’s so colorful that some of the signs aimed at guests can easly be mistaken as part of the decoration. It’s a girly extended stay. For example, they have make up remover in the restroom. Maybe that is coverup for people going through mourning from the hospital next door.

My hubby and I stayed here for two nights during our vacation. We were traveling throughout Oregon so this was just one of our destinations. Anyhow, although a tad on the pricier side we found the location safe and quiet. The neighborhood has cute little coffee shops/​café and they give you tickets to ride the cable cart into downtown. The stop is located just outside the hotel. Parking was scarce– they will tell you it’s first come first served so I do believe there is a chance you will not find parking. Anyhow, because of this my hubby and I did not drive anywhere in Portland until our departure.
The front desk had variable hospitality– there was a girl there that was super nice and even told us how to get to our daily destinations with public transit. The guy there I thought could have been a bit friendlier.
There is a continental breakfast but I wasn’t reminded of this on check in. They lobby has free water/​tea/​coffee throughout the day. They have all kinds of candy bowls as décor.
The room was spacious, full size kitchen with sofa, chair, desk, bed and t.v. The kitchen had a Keurig with free coffee cups for you to use– fancy. A previous Unilocaler described it as Alice in Wonderland inspired. I will agree with all the vibrant colors. The bed was comfy and relaxing. There was a safety deposit box in our room. You’re free to use kitchen utensils at your leisure and there is a public computer for guest use at the end of the hallway.
I agree with other Unilocalers that there is no pressure coming from the shower heads. I felt like it took me longer to shower because of that.
Overall, very nice accommodations. Be weary when you venture out of this neighborhood at night. Downtown Portland was crawling with homeless and druggies!

LOVED this place. A friend recommended this hotel and I am so glad I took her advice.
I have never been to the Portland area and was travelling on my own purely for pleasure and to get lost and explore Portland. This was a great hotel to stay at for that because 1) It is in a great little neighborhood that was nearby shopping and places to eat 2) The streetcar stop is literally right outside the door (which took you downtown, to the riverfront, etc) 3) The staff is super friendly and helpful and really helped me get around. I had to get a mani/​pedi and they even gave me a great referral for that!
The rooms were spacious, had TWO TVs so I could watch from anywhere in the room (yes, even the bathroom as I was doing my hair and makeup) a full kitchen with k-​cup coffee maker, stove, fridge and all the utensils needed for cooking and eating.
The beds were SO comfy that I slept really well and felt incredibly rested. Lots of pillows (lots) so I felt all cozy and snug.
I was on the first floor so I didn’t have a balcony like the other floors, but it was convenient for me to be on the bottom floor PLUS there is two outdoor common areas that are available if I felt the need to sit outside so it didn’t make a difference.
Coffee machine and jars of candy in the lobby, available 24 hours.
Bright and fun décor that made me feel like Alice in Wonderland with fun little pieces of art throughout the hotel (Be sure to wander around to see everything)
Parking was fine, there was only one day where it was a challenge to find a space, but I was eventually able to park and move it closer later in the evening.
Overall, I had a great experience and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

I could complain about some of the minor housekeeping inconsistencies, the shower parts and bath towel rack that are made for people seven feet tall and over, the overabundance of pillows in the room, the overly perfumed soaps, or other small potatoes, but our stay there was great. Staff were personable and very helpful. Our room (315) was quiet and peaceful, containing all the amenities one could want. Aesthetically pleasing to a partially color blind man like myself, our suite had two TVs, a full kitchen, and a spacious bathroom. We could have a couple friends over (or go to their room) without feeling like we were in a sardine can. Right on the streetcar line, convenient to great restaurants (within easy walking distance). They even had a free happy hour beer tasting our first afternoon there.
Tip: try Laughing Planet Café a few short blocks away at 721 NW 9^th Ave: great, fresh Mexican & other flavorful food; inexpensive & with a conscience. (No, I have no financial or personal interest in the company.)
Suggestions for improvement: greener dishwashing & laundry practices on the part of housekeeping. And toiletries that are less perfumy.

We stayed here for 4 nights in April on my first trip to Portland. Streetcar right outside and front desk gives free tickets (although they never checked our tickets and I was told many people ride for free). They have such unique furnishings and color schemes. Very bright and fun! There is a nice lobby/​breakfast area with free salt water taffy and coffee. They have games, TV and radio as well. The rooms are all suites with full kitchens (fridge, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, dishes, pots and pans, cups and glasses — the whole shebang!). By the end of our stay we had many leftovers in our fridge and it was nice to have this option.
The bed was incredible. I usually can’t sleep in hotel beds — I would have traded this bed for my own in a second. We asked where they were from and they said Oregon Mattress Company. There’s a Keurig machine in every room and they leave 4 k-​cups (2 coffee, 1 decaf, 1 chai) so we brought our own favorite ones with us. We were on the 3^rd floor and we had a glass door leading out the a small balcony which overlooked Northrup. They also have an outdoor deck area with a bbq grill and heat lamps which we didn’t take advantage of but it looked very nice.
Walking distance from 23^rd st which has great shops and restaurants and Salt and Straw ice cream (a must go!!). We walked to downtown as well although the streetcar can get you most places too (Powell’s, food cart pods, etc).
The one thing we found odd is that everything was very high up. The kitchen cabinets were high, the shower head was very high and I’m 5’8″ and I struggled to reach some things. There was a yoga mat in our room as well and I believe they give discounts to local yoga studios and a gym nearby.

We stayed here for a few days when on a recent tour of the PNW. Great little hotel with a few nice perks!
* Funky décor… feels like you’re in PeeWee’s Playhouse (in a good way)
* 2 TV’s in the room!
* Large bathroom with big vanity area
* Stocked kitchen
* Free Parking
* Free tickets to the trolly
* Fun happy hour events! They had free wine and snacks as well as a local distillery pouring tastes when we were there
* Good location, near everything
* Free wifi
Would absolutely stay here again if in the area!
