We stayed one evening here and loved it! It’s right downtown, the room was comfortable and clean. Chris the bartender was a DELIGHT! He shared so many recommendations with us and just made our trip so memorable. The hotel also went out of their way to ensure we felt celebrated on our anniversary trip. Really appreciate them all and will return!

The Marriott Aloft Portland lobby and room were clean except the bed sheets did not smell clean (had sweat smell). The water pressure was low so it took a while to shower. I liked that the room was spacious and parking was close.

My son and I love the layout of the room. The beds were big and comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and spacious. The walk in shower was beautiful and easy to use. There are plenty of towels, hairdryer, and space to put our things. We felt safe walking around even at night. It's walking distance to Old Port and many wonderful restaurants. We would stay again on our next visit to Portland, Maine.
