The entire stay. First the front desk personnel spoke broken English I had to repeatedly ask them to repeat what they were saying. Second you showed a pool at hotel reason we chose to stay there. There was not one. Getting into the parking garage has a chore machine for gate froze up. First night we went to a show came back at 10 pm bartender was calling last call. Very irogant to customers. The bar says open til midnight. Second night bar was closed all together. Said to goto AC hotel show card to get in discount. There bar at aloft would have been nice no driving . Rooms are not very sound proof could hear every vac Outside our room. Heard every person up stairs walking around or when they dropped something on floor. Checkout had a hard time getting out of garage had to call for help. Not the weekend I hoped for.

The lobby bar has a pool table, Xbox, card and board games, plenty to do while having a drink before going out for the evening. Rooms are modern and comfortable. Walking distance to some of the best dinning in the country in the cozy and beautiful historic Old Port district of Portland, Maine.

My stay was nice overall. The lobby was clean upon arrival, even though there was a lot of salt outside the entrance. The room was spacious and very clean, which I really appreciated. The staff who assisted me with both check-in and check-out were great as well. The only minor issue I experienced was at the snack bar. An item was labeled at $6, but when I went to the front desk to pay, I was charged over $8. When I asked about the price difference, the staff mentioned that the exact item wasn’t in their system yet, which is why they couldn’t ring it up correctly. I pointed out that the price was the same as the water, and they adjusted it afterward. While it was resolved, I found it a bit concerning that I could have been overcharged for a simple drink if I hadn’t checked the price.
