We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful hotel very convenient to shopping area and great view of the bay. Staff was helpful rooms were clean and had comfortable beds.
My stay at the AC Hotel Portland was absolutely amazing. Convenient valet parking, friendly and welcoming front desk staff, gorgeous room with a harbor view, clean, quiet, safe, and walkable to many restaurants. I wish I could have stayed longer than one night. I will definitely be back!
The room was very clean as was the whole hotel. In great condition - did not feel worn at all. Everyone was super nice. My breakfast was included which was lovely. Available shuttle to the airport was considered in my stay as well. Would definitely stay here again if i come back to Portland. Location downtown was great.
