AC Hotel by Marriott Portland Lake Oswego

The AC Hotel in Lake Oswego, Portland, is a good choice. It has a perfect location, recently updated rooms, and Titanium Elites receive a daily $10 voucher. The only downside was that the hotel was understaffed, so I couldn’t get a late checkout. I was really counting on this Marriott benefit, especially since I had a late flight at 6 PM, but I had to check out strictly at 12 PM.

Not a new place, but well maintained with a clean lobby and nice layout. My granddaughter loved the indoor/outdoor pool and the glass elevator. Located in a shaded area with free parking that felt really secure. Very close by chain eateries like Starbucks, Mod Pizza, etc. Front desk staff were professional, friendly and very helpful. We got in late, and they helped us find nearby, kid-friendly food. We were just overnight, but it’s just off the I-5 freeway with nearby shopping.

Older, but recently updated hotel with very easy freeway access. Rooms were clean and designed well. Loved the lobby/lounge area and being able to just relax. Multiple restaurants within walking distance. Decent parking. Unique pool area that is both indoor and outdoor. Staff appear a bit disgruntled if around each other (gossiping about management and pay) but very attentive to guests when no other employees around.

I loved this hotel! I've been staying at hotels with another chain and this was so much better! I think the hotel was recently renovated as it did not show much wear. The aesthetic was very modern with laminate flooring overall. You could even see modern touches in the light switches. There was a small table with 2 chairs and an area rug. There was a platform bed with matching nightstands. There was a desk with chair, but no dresser. However, counter space spanned the length of the room. I thought it was a good use of space without being too crowded. The night stand had an alarm clock (thank you!). The bed was comfortable. The bath had good counterspace and a shower only (thank you!). Toiletries were in individual containers, not the larger shared containers I'm seeing at other hotel chains. I also liked the products. The only negative on the whole stay is it took a very looooong time to get hot water in the sink or shower. I was ready to give up. Hotel staff were aware and are working on it. Temperatures were well-maintained. There were usb chargers and plug-ins available. Another small rub, there was only one elevator working, so I took the stairs to the first floor and couldn't get out. The door to outside was alarmed and the door to the first floor was locked. I had to walk back up to floor two and take the elevator down to floor one. I also am not sure why Portland hotels are charging for parking. I think the water and elevator issues are likely to be remediated and I would stay here again.
