This is an outstanding property and a great location on the Portland waterfront. Large rooms and bathrooms, very clean and well appointed - and a very comfortable bed. Our check-in was one of the best experiences we've ever had and check out as well - and that is all due to Abby - who is a shining example of what excellent hotel service should be. We feel the AC Hotel is a great value and are planning to return to Portland for a longer stay later this year.
