“Aloft Portland Downtown Waterfront goes for a trendy, communal vibe that's appealing, particularly if you're traveling with a pet. I noticed the bar is clearly a focal point, and the location puts you within easy reach of Portland's downtown attractions, though some may find the bathroom layouts unconventional. For me, it's a solid choice if you value a lively atmosphere over absolute privacy.”
