The room and lobby were great. Hotel bar tender was great! They lock the doors at night and you have to walk all the way around the building. It was a blizzard and VERY inconvenient.

Rooms were nice and clean very comfortable. Lobby area was a fun atmosphere even though we didn't make use of it. We inquired about a possible late checkout only to find out they charged my card half of one night stay. My bad for not asking but not mentioned either by front desk

I’ll be back!

Loved the hot chocolate bar and the friendly vibe in the lobby. Also loved the location as it’s within walkable distance to do much. Parking not included but plenty of overnight spots around the area.

The Aloft hotels in Portland, Maine is a very modern stay. This residence has a lot of fun designs in it's living space, as well as unique amenities like an Xbox game room and extensive gym. I was a little surprised by the lack of a free breakfast (only coffee is on the house) and valet parking being the only option outside of street parking. Otherwise, it was a fine stay in a modern room.

Comfortable if you can handle noise

Very poor soundproofing in spite of this being a newer hotel. You hear every toilet flush in adjacent rooms, every hallway sound, and every street sound if your room is facing Commercial Street. But if you don't mind the noise, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, especially for the price.

Pros: location is great. Bartender in the lounge is fantastic. Check in and out was relatively quick. Cons: “water view” rooms are noisy due to busy street. Rooms in general are noisy (can hear toilet flushing two/three rooms down). Vallet parking only.
