AC Hotel by Marriott Portland Downtown, OR

Great location and decent gym. The rooms were clean and the service and staff were excellent. There is no onsite parking, but the valet service was excellent.

Almost everything, Monica at the front desk had us all prepare a taxi to go to Kennebunkport and back at a reasonable price. And when you needed help with your flight passes, they helped you print them in no time. And when the flight was cancelled, they were very kind to let us stay in the same room for the night, a huge relief! Immaculate room, I love the modern clean bathrooms and the overall decor of the room!! Highly recommend!!

Spent the weekend in the air conditioner and loved it. Great location, spacious room and luxurious shower at a great price. Got my credit card issued and lost, the staff was very professional and returned my card with a free Red Bull. I will definitely come back here.

As a Marriott fan and loyalist, I am biased toward their properties, so I decided to give the AC a shot. In a nutshell: if you are attending an event at the waterfront - this is a good location 2 blocks away. It is slightly upscale, modern. Clean. Comfortable beds. Good bar.
The decor and storage in these rooms is good looking, "modern", & extremely minimal. As in: no drawers, no towel rods, no closet - just a 1 foot rod. For a weekend, it's fine. For a longer stay, it's not terribly practical.
However, the AC isn't my favorite Marriott property in Portland for several reasons. While pretty good for general downtown events, it is not the most centrally located. Street parking is particularly tough here, & valet is ~$46/daily. The front desk staff is mediocre. Housekeeping and food/bar are better.

Close to everything, Monika at front desk got us all set up with cab to go to Kennebunkport and back at reasonable price.
And when needed help with board passes, they helped get them printed in a flash.
And when flight canceled they were very accommodating letting us stay another night in same room, huge relief!
Room spotless, love the modern clean bathrooms and overall setup of room!!
Highly recommend!!

Will be my first choice for a hotel next time I'm in Portland. Nice area, cool lobby, clean and inviting rooms. Has a unique vibe that worked for business, but would also be good for couples or a solo vacation.

I wanted to wait until our stay was complete here to give a true assessment of the place. These are tough times for the hospitality industry and hotels are finding creative ways to keep their guests engaged. For example, every night the hotel would put lavender for guests in small bags. Small thing, but very thoughtful. The hotel is very spacious in the guest rooms and is nice because is a small hotel but not so small that it feels like there’s only a handful of guest rooms. It’s also not large enough that you don’t get to treat with employees on a one on one basis. Which brings me to my final point, the staff. We had the opportunity to chat and share with the phenomenal staff here and I was impressed with how much they go the extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable. For example, given that their restaurant is closed, they would run to the nearby restaurant to pick up dessert for my wife and bring it to the bar onsite. Very thoughtful and it makes us wanting to always come back here.

This hotel is pretty new so of course it is in great condition. I loved the bed, it was so comfy! I also loved the "hydration stations" on every floor. It's nice to be able to get filtered water any time you want instead of paying $5 for a bottled water. Above all, the staff was my favorite thing about this place. From the sales manager, Julian to the valet staff and everybody in between, these are some top notch people. Great customer service skills and they go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. We had a meeting here and there was a last minute date change. They rallied and got us taken care of, set up with catered lunch, in less than an hour. Can't thank you guys enough!
