Aloft Portland Airport Hotel at Cascade Station

This is a nice, quiet, and clean hotel operated by Marriot Bonvoy just outside of the Portland Airport and is frequented by airline personnel. Planes fly directly overhead as they come in for landing, however, it's barely noticeable when in the room. The room itself is a good size for 2 queen beds, a desk area, and a properly sized flatscreen TV for the space. TV bonus is you can use your Netflix and other streaming service logins free of charge so you're not stuck with basic cable or have to pay to watch movies. Shower (no tub) is outfitted with full size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers filled by housekeeping as needed. AC works well and keeps room cool. Beds and bedding were clean and in good condition. Mattresses were on the firm side, but not uncomfortably so. Free coffee/tea setup in the room with the usual options. There is free Wi-Fi available throughout the property, but since I didn't need it, I am unsure of the reliability of signal strength. Hotel lobby has a bar open during the evening hours along with a small cafe area for all-day fare. Multiple restaurant and shopping options are within walking distance (Target, Ikea, Best Buy, Ross, Wendys, Chipotle, Red Robin, etc.). Free shuttle service to/from PDX is always a plus and is available 24/7.

Shower stall is on the smaller side and water pressure is lacking. Sink water pressure was too much, especially for the type of sink installed. Toilet paper roll holder needs to be faced in opposite direction so the roll doesn't go jumping off and rolling away from you. While not important to me, there is no dresser or closed closet. Bathroom area has an open closet for a handful of hanging items and open shelves for storage of other things. No room service available.

It was the free airport shuttle that attracted me to this hotel, but that was just the beginning! Nice location, clean room, great staff. Trina at the bar was super nice and welcoming; she was amazing to all the guests she interacted with. The front desk help in the morning was the only drawback of the entire stay; she was rude and aloof. Overall, a great experience!

I loved the room and the blinds that went up and down and blocked out the light without being heavy. The bed was great and so was the shower which was walk in. I had the breakfast one day and was disappointed at first to see it in a small cup. But it was like a magic container because it had everything in it and filled me right up. Genius really. No muss, no fuss and contactless. I loved taking the light rail (MAX) into town and seeing friends and feeling safe around the area day and night. I found the restaurants really handy and ate there a lot. The staff is helpful, friendly and well informed. The shuttle to the airport was right on time and efficient too.

I don't have a list of things I didn't like. If I did, I just wouldn't stay here so this seems like a strange question. It should be optional.

The staff is excellent, I lost my glasses at the front desk, they gave them back to me. My partner placed his computer in a different room (they changed room for us because one window blind does not work) they found it and promised to ship it back to us, Great experience with the services.

the room was very well thought out, with everything we would need and all placed very well. Lots of outlets conveniently located. We were able to take the light rail easily, plenty of shopping and food nearby

food options at the hotel were not great

Great location with stores and restaurants across the street. Safe and quiet location as well.

I wish the bathroom in the room had a little more lighting than what it had. just seemed a little dim but other than that is was great!

I enjoyed the room and area it is located. Also that they had airport transportation since I needed that for an early flight. Made it easy and convenient for me without dealing with any hassles.

Clean, well maintained. They left us a bottle of wine for our anniversary. Very nice touch. Very appreciated.

As with most hotels, the mattress. But, in all fairness, it was better than most hotel mattresses we've experienced.

Airport shuttle was a plus... decor and rooms were clean, location perfect with many great shops nearby.

To have stayed at least a day or two longer... and the lobby ran out of coffee.

always a great place with great amenities!

honestly, it was awesome; so to nit pick, there were no “ice” signs, had to wander, lol. so. that is the tiniest, thing. everything was great!
