Aloft by Marriott Portland Airport at Cascade Station

Great hotel, staff, and location.

All excellent

Aloft Cascade Station is in a good location and is very close to the airport and shopping with easy access to I-205, SR14, and I-5. Parking is a little tight for larger vehicles and is reasonably priced at $12/day, though across the bridge parking is free in Vancouver, WA. Stepping into the lobby you are greeted with a modern vibe. The lounge looks very comfy, the bar is well stocked, there are lots of snacks you can purchase (though $4 for a smaller water is a bit much). There are flight schedules posted near the elevators. I will say that the lobby has a bit of a stale smell to it. Check in was quick and we went up to our room. The hallways are really narrow, my husband and I aren't able to walk side by side without touching one another or the walls. This isnt an issue but is very noticable. Furthermore, we noticed that our hallways had a very large cobweb on the ceiling that has clearly been there for some time so we were concerned about cleanliness. The room itself has a pretty heavy/stiff door that takes significant effort to open. Right behind the door we saw that the wallpaper was bubbled up as if there was water damage behind it. The room smelled like a box of crayons which I didn't love but was fine. The first thing I do is always check the mattress for pests. There were none to be found but I also found that the mattress was missing the casing for the pillow top. The sheets were clean without any stains or other issues. I personally think the bed is far too hard, however, I have a purple premier hybrid plush mattress at home so I'm very spoiled. There is a build up of dust between the mattress and the bedside table which is a shame because it is very easy to clean. In the room there are no drawers of any sort, everything is open. I'm not sure if the room we had was an accessible room or what but the bathroom counter and toilet were quite low but there is no way for someone to get into the shower if they have mobility issues. The sinks are bowl style sinks and the faucets are a little too high and powerful so you can easily splash yourself. The water also gets boiling hot very quickly. I burned my hands washing them and my husband burned himself in the shower. There is a barn door for the bathroom which I hate with a passion. They are heavy and have pocket door handles so they are very hard to close. When you do close them they don't seal anything in so anyone in the room can hear and scent anything going on in the bathroom. There is also a single, dim light in the shower. Overall it is just poorly designed. The rooms ac unit is a beast. I had the option to turn it down I to the 50s! I did not do that but I was impressed it was even an option. The TV interface is laggy and irritating but that is a small issue. The blackout shades work but there are gaps along the sides that let the light in. We didn't try the gym or the pool and cannot comment on those. Overall, Aloft is serviceable. I think they try to hard to be trendy rather than comfortable. I would stay again if I couldn't find somewhere else.

I was expecting a bigger size room for the price. Disappointed. From the pics online it looked bigger. Wont be using them again

Excellent stay. We always stay here when we are in Portland.

Great staff, clean rooms, great location. Very convenient and suitable for both short and long stays. They had ample parking, restaurants nearby, and shopping for immediate needs, and it's walkable.

The breakfast. I didn't see enough options, fresh options. There is an IHOP next door that I would recommend instead.

Easy access to airport. Black out curtains. Pet friendly

A little worn

Close to airport, clean, quiet rooms
