All around great experience at this beautiful, centrally located hotel. It looks like a newer building, so it hasn't been broken in by too many travelers yet! The highlights (apologize for no pics of the room itself): - large room with nice quality furniture (hefty, solid) - comfortable bed - spacious bathroom, well laid out with thoughtful placement of the necessities - typical wall-mounted body wash, shampoo, and conditioner with a nice holistic blend (not heavily perfumed) Recommend the 4th floor, which gives you access to a large outdoor seating area just off the elevator bank (sorry, no ciggies or cigars allowed). Each floor has its own "hydration station" (toot toot!) with ice, a water dispenser with 3 settings for room temp, ice and water, or just ice for your sippy cup. And a microwave! That was a nice touch. Didn't try the restaurant, but the bar was a great square design with 2 large TVs for your favorite sports game that were visible from most of the seating. Local musicians play live on Fridays and Saturdays, and they were QUALITY. Bartenders were professional and friendly, with a flair for some great mixology (thanks, Leo!!). The 24 hour market in the lobby was stocked with anything you could need! Sundries, snacks, beer, and wine, you name it! And best of all, we were located on the newly developed waterfront with a wide array of walkable restaurants, tasting rooms, breweries, and a several mile path along the beautiful Columbia River. Additionally, just a short walk away was the lovely year-round, rain or shine Farmer's Market by Esther Short Park, which had an amazing variety of local offerings. Worth every penny, and we look forward to staying there again next year. read more

My wife and I stayed here for one night while in town for a wedding. The facility is beautiful and has much to offer, along with a few minor drawbacks. It is situated on the Columbia River so many of the rooms have partial or full river views. On a beautiful spring day, that's hard to beat. Our guest room was nicely appointed with a king bed, sleeper sofa, work station, huge TV, coffee and tea service, a small fridge with bottled water and glasses, iron and board, and in-room safe. The bathroom had the usual amenities along with the choice of a shower wand or overhead rain shower. Staff was helpful and attentive, from the desk clerk who checked us in to the server at the lounge to the desk attendant who rang up our purchases from the pantry off the lobby. The drawbacks, at present, include that the restaurant is closed for renovation. Guests can order from the menu of small plates and dine at tables that have been moved into the bar area, but it lacks the ambience of a proper stand-alone restaurant. As to the "bar" side, they have a list of specialty cocktails, including a "Signature Gin & Tonic" made with Hendrick's gin, a thin slice of cucumber cut lengthwise and wrapped inside the glass, and a star anise for an additional layer of flavor. Another drawback, in my estimation, is the nightly charge of $35 for parking. I heard one guest talking about using street parking, which is free overnight, rather than pay what he saw as an over-the-top charge. Given the hotel's nightly room rates, I understand his point. A third drawback is something that is all too common in hotels: curtains that do not close all the way and let the morning light come streaming in much too early. Unfortunately, the curtain is a single panel that runs from wall to wall, so guests don't have the option of using a binder clip to keep two halves together as at many hotels. The AC Vancouver Waterfront is within easy walking distance of Waterfront Way with its eclectic collection of restaurants, shops, stores, breweries and wine tasting rooms. There are also other hotels nearby, including the Hotel Indigo, which boasts an indoor-outdoor rooftop lounge that our son recommended. All told, a very positive experience we would not hesitate to repeat. read more

I wanted to love it here. It's on the waterfront. It's close to Portland. Everyone was friendly. The restaurant was good. Bar staff was good. One bartender in particular was super friendly. She shared a lot of information. I don't know her name, but if someone from the hotel reads this, she had a lot of tattoos. One was of a cat and moon knight the back of her arm. Loved her. I wanted to love our room. I got the suite because it's our honeymoon. Having a balcony was great. We went out on it quite a bit. The shower was terrible. No space. I'm not a huge person but I could move without touching my naked body against a cold shower curtain. Room did not have a microwave. Maybe not important for some, but we would've like it. No closet. The automatic black out curtains sometimes worked. Sometimes didn't. Upon check in the very friendly desk clerk said there was room service, so on our last night, being very tired we opted for room service. We called the front desk, because there was no literature in the room telling you how to access services. We even pulled up the menu on our phones. We weren't told that you access all info from the tv. Front desk transferred us to room service. We got a voicemail. So we went downstairs to order. We were told we could wait there or come back down to get the food. It wasn't even brought up to us. But hey, you can find a bible and book of mormon in your room. Yay. read more

The hotel rooms are pretty basic, and the housekeeping was lacking in terms of bed service. They did bring fresh towels and took out the trash, but my sheets weren't changed, and the floors didn't get cleaned. The restaurant does offer room service, but everything comes in to-go containers, and the staff was laid back. The highlight of my stay was definitely the food--it was absolutely amazing! My favorite was the shrimp toast; I ended up having it twice during my stay. The sausage stuffed shells were also tasty, although I expected more chunks of sausage in it. Instead, the sausage was blended with the cheese inside the shell, but it was still delicious. They have a great selection of wine too! I would totally stay here again just for the food, even though the hotel rooms are quite simple and nothing special. read more

We came to check out the happy hour that I heard so much about. Sat down at the bar and Olivia said she would be right with us once she got down jotting down what supplies the am shift was gonna need the next morning. We were kind of ready to place a drink order but we waited. Then another waitress came by and asked if we were being helped yet. We said yes as soon she gets done jotting down looking thru the shelves on what the am shift is going to need. That lady was nice enough to give us some menus. I saw our waitress so the same thing to the two next couples who came to the bar to eat or drink. She told the first couple as they were wanting to order that she had to run across the way to kitchen to get something. The other couple she said she would be right back and went over to the dining room are to talk with her coworkers. She needs to pay more attention to her customers if you ask me. Jot down what the AM shifts supplies they're going to need later like when you don't have customers? Just saying. We got the chicken skewer, the steak skewer and the brussel sprouts. Wow, the food sure made up for the service. The brussel sprouts were amazing. They had hot honey, pistachios and red peppers on them. Best we have had ever!!! The chick skewers were delicious and they came with some pickled celery, jalepenos, red peppers and very garlicky hummus. So good. The steak skewers were tasty had been marinated in some kind of sauce which was delicious. I really like the blue cheese they sprinkle on top of the steak. I was surprised they came with fries which was nice. But unfortunately the fries were cold. I would definitely one back for the food. You can tell the chefs out a lot of heart into serving their food. read more

Beautiful, clean, and modern hotel located right on the waterfront. Walking distance from multiple restaurants and dessert shops, the farmers market on the weekend, and a paved trail along the water. Pros: + Walk-in shower + Floor to ceiling windows + Light and bright rooms + Parking garage on floor 2 ($25/night) Cons: - N/A I stayed here for a brief one night work trip. Absolutely loved it. Beautiful artwork in the lobby leading to the elevators. Would stay again. read more

Very nice hotel at the trendy Vancouver WA waterfront. Excellent restaurant in a hotel with a full bar. We hear that the hotel is going to promote the restaurant to attract more people, not just guests staying overnight. We had breakfast a la carte twice and dinner once, and every time the expensive was very nice. Unfortunately the buffet breakfast was not available due to the Christmas holiday. We had the buffet breakfast at another AC hote, in another country and it had sufficient selection. Notable staff: Olivia in the restaurant and Becky at the bar, both have friendly personalities and are very knowledgeable about the food and beverage program at the hotel. Noise level: the PDX airport is near and I could hear planes overhead. This may be a problem for light sleepers. Currently in December 2023, it has been open for year and half and there is still construction around. This did not pose any problem. Overall, we plan to stay here again on our next visit to the area. read more

Our stay was amazing thanks to Katie and the staff! They truly made our anniversary memorable! From the beautiful room with an amazing view to the treats and friendly vibes, this is our new go-to spot in Vancouver! Easy access to the paid parking garage, nice breakfast bar, lounge, and conveniently located near all the fun places on the Waterfront. There was a disturbance with a gentleman on some sort of drugs outside the hotel entrance, and it was law enforcement arrived quickly to manage the situation. Sigh...due to the homeless/drug crisis our state (WA and OR) has been facing. We weren't concerned for our safety, and the staff made sure to follow up. read more

The location and lobby bar are the big draws for me here. A convenient attached parking garage for hotel guests, which is a necessity in this booming hit neighborhood. I used to live along the waterfront, and it's just contains to grow and expand. We had a room facing the river, but the noise from the planes taking off and a mechanical room right next to our room grew annoying by our second night, unfortunately. Having so much at our front door helped offset this, and I would just suggest you choose your room carefully and you'll have a great stay. read more

Decided to pop downtown Vancouver for a little Friday night date night. Surprise by the live music that provided a fun ambiance that I heard was here every Friday night! Food menu offers lots of great and VERY reasonably priced items. The pizza was killer, and the Chicken Harissa appetizer was a great dinner option as well. Well worth the visit! read more

Food is good. Service is lacking. I ordered the Carpaccio as an appetizer and the Denver steak as an entree. They arrived at the same time and all I got was a, "sorry they came out at the same time." I know how a restaurant ticketing system works. They're supposed to put a fire line between the appetizer and the entree and then fire the entree at the proper time. The bartender that rang it in screwed it up and all I got was an insincere sorry. So do I eat the carpaccio before it gets warm or my steak before it gets cold? The carpaccio was very good. Very good flavors. By the time I got to my steak it was cold. So were the fries. I'm not even halfway through eating my steak when the bartender says, "we're switching shifts, can I cash you out now?" Not, "would you like to cash out with me or would you prefer to keep your tab open?" Just, "can I cash you out now?" There were items on the bill that were charged at full price, not happy hour price, which were fixed when I brought it up. But I don't want to pay the bill when I'm not even halfway through my meal. read more

Beautiful new restaurant lounge on the waterfront in downtown Vancouver. I was impressed with the modern design and openness of the bar area. We sat at the bar Marissa was our bartender she was fun and knowledgeable. I ordered their signature Gin & Tonic and my husband ordered Smoked Manhattan. The Gin & Tonic was served in a large goblet with Hendricks Gin, Fever Tree Tonic and fresh cucumber. It was very large and delicious. For eats we ordered a Waterfront Burger and Ricotta Toast with a spicy meatballs. Both were incredibly delicious. The burger was cooked as requested. The bacon was cooked perfectly atop a juicy and flavorful burger patty. The big winner was the ricotta toast with spicy meatballs for $10. Everything about this dish is a win win. Perfectly toasted French bread with ricotta cheese topped with two savory meatballs and Italian style sauce. DELICIOUS!!! They have a beautiful outside area with plenty of seating and gas fire tables. Compared to all the other restaurants on the waterfront this is a hidden gem. read more

Fantastic Gym, next level breakfast, very attentive staff, amazing view to the river and great shower. New hotel. Gym: very clean and attended. Has a kickboxing heavy bag, multiple cables machine with pull-ups and dips stations, all treadmills, bikes, elliptical and stair master machines are new and feel very comfortable. The stair master even has a fan grid. Great Rowing machine and clean/organized dumbbells area. Water machine and towels are well served and full. Breakfast: great buffet selection with charcuterie meats like prosciutto, turkey, roast beef, ham, salami ,manchego cheese and soft cheese. Super fresh crunchy corssaints with Nutella and other flavor jams. Mango/chia/coconuts cups, juices and fruits. The menu for service was very good as well I had the scrambled eggs, arugula and prosciutto toast four days and the waffle Nutella/fruits and I was very happy. I have to point out that my company paid for it so my review is in the quality of the food, impression and service. It felt expensive. Rooms: big, comfortable, new and amazing river-sea view with mountains behind. What I liked the most was the bathroom as it had a big, illuminated shower with strong pressure and fast draining system. As a person that travels all the time I deal with a lot of hotels showers that are slow to drain and this one was very nice. So nice that every single day I I took long showers and even washed my under wears and socks with the big bottles of shampoo. The shower has the faucet across opposite wall of the shower height adjustable telephone head which I found very convenient. And inside double towel holding inside. Which I used to hand the clothes once washed. Never have I hand washed my socks before in a hotel. Big screen tv and smart compact fridge that honestly I didn't even get to use because I was lazy and didn't know what bottoms to press. Staff: the week I was there I interacted with about 8-9 people and they were all supper friendly and helpful. Only bad experience was one night the bar tender wanted to charge 6 beers to my friends when they only had 3. When confronted with it they still paid 4. That was very akward and unfortunate. I was just drinking water and very sober and know they only got 3 beers. In the other hand, the day I arrived the front lady gave me a voucher for a drink while they got my room ready and since I don't drink I asked if I could trade it for a Häagen-Dazs & D ice cream from their mini market and they pleasantly did. Location: the hotel is located in the water bank which has lots of new nice places to just walk in and eat. I have eaten in all of them and find them to be touristy but with good ambience and view. If you want good food go the opposite side 3 blocks away and you will have The Smokin Oak Pit. This place is amazing and I ate there the last 3 days. Brisket and Cow ribs are insanely delicious. read more

Had the unfortunate experience of staying the night here in October. Got a room with a nice view and the amenities looked nice. Due to a late check in and early morning for conference it wasn't until my second (and final night) that I noticed the infestation. After talking with the front desk it was made to believe that this is a normal expectation for a room near the water. Also that they "easily get in through the ventilation system". Since checking out I did get followed up by the general manager to get clarification and he also offered some Marriott bonvoy points. Sure, I'm already checked out and and it's better than nothing. Except, I haven't received anything, so it's not better. :/ Overall, spend your money elsewhere until they call pest control. read more

This review is for the AC Lounge dining experience. Ok! First off, the ambience here is on point. My wife and I went out for our first date night in ages and got all dressed up and this place was just perfect. I got the Frites and Prosciutto and my wife got the Waterfront Burger. Oh my gosh, you guys. Those fries were hot and the perfect amount of crispy. The prosciutto was also crispy (without being overdone) and the Garlic Aioli was highly addictive. If I'm being honest, I'm kind of a ranch snob when I go out to eat (most places do not have ranch I'd recommend), but the AC Lounge has a ranch that's served cool, and has a great blend of that buttermilk and dill flavor that complimented the frites perfectly. The burger! Oh man. My wife worked in restaurants for almost twenty years, and she said the Waterfront Burger here is easily in her top 3 restaurant burgers she's ever had. (I couldn't eat it, otherwise I'd have totally stolen a bite.) The staff is fun, the service was quick, and the live music was great! (River Twain was playing that night and they were awesome.) Overall, I had a really good experience here and am very much looking forward to returning. read more

Hotel looks decent. Restaurant is very new and has amazing vibes w music and decor. But the food came out cold. Not sure if it was made that way or if it just sat for a while after it was prepared. For the location and price, I expect more consistency in quality. I will try this place again in a year or so to see if the new place kinks have worked themselves out. For now, I would recommend another restaurant in the area. (There are lots to choose from) read more

Beautiful location on the water front where the mighty Columbia River runs. The Oregon Washington Bridge is 10 mins away if one wants to go to Portland on the other bank. A nicely paved concrete walk path that is part of the broad walk that invites a lot of joggers, family strolling, pet exercises ... etc . For such a small area, it is filled with many nice restaurants and eatery. Many assisted living facilities close by and probably in high demand as I have seen new constructions every time when I visit. The hotel lobby is open and pleasing to take in the views. The room is nice but it can use better material to match the building exteriors. The parking garage has a couple EV charging stalls, the entire floor has been epoxy coated and very nice indeed. We will be back in a few months depending on availability and rate. There are no shortages of good hotels on the water front for you to choose from if it comes to that. Enjoy ... read more

Not a huge Marriott fan in general, but did have a great experience at this hotel. The staff was very attentive, the rooms were clean, and the location was great. We were able to check in early (rare these days). The room was contemporary with composite (vinyl?) wood floors (much better than carpet) with a nice view of the river and the river walk. Plenty of great restaurants within walking distance (we ate at Wildfin which was amazing). When we came back to the bar at the end of our evening the bartender seemed to have all the time in the world for us (even though it was quite busy). In the morning I went down early to grab a cup of (complementary) coffee and watch golf. Even though I was just sitting in the lobby, the staff interacted with me and even brought me a refill (complete with my own little creamer pitcher). Easy checkout online. Would highly recommend the AC as a fun place to stay for a weekend or if town on business. read more

Pros: Clean, modern, good food, easy parking, great views, great water pressure. Cons: Hotel room was too warm, I couldn't get the thermostat to go below 65°F, shower water temperature took forever to change. For example, it's not warm enough so you increase the temperature and then two or three minutes later all of a sudden it's blasting hot and then you go to turn the temperature down and it takes another two or three minutes before the water actually cools down. The final con, was I did not like the open layout of the bar/restaurant/breakfast buffet. For me it was confusing as a first time guest and it is hard to find information concern meals on the mobile site or app. read more

This hotel has just opened and we mean literally just opened, so they are working out some kinks but given that I work at a global startup I can have some sympathy for the amount of work it is to get these things going. The restaurant in the lobby is really good and well worth trying but the fact that they have rooms that aren't functional and they put Titanium level members in those rooms is really telling of how they treat their guests. We left the same day we checked in and went to another hotel where everything actually works in the room. Just my opinion but I would wait a year or so for them to work out the details. read more

I came here on a sunday night to have dinner in the hotel restaurant. The interior is modern and simple and the restaurant area was nice too ( with the view of the river). We were a party of 4 and there were only 2 other small parties seated. Our server was attentive and our food tasted great however: there were small black things floating in our water (not sure what this was) after getting that replaced, one dish for our appetizers arrived completely broken into 5 pieces thankfully it was a bowl on top of the large plate so nothing fell on the floor, despite there being only 3 small tables to serve the service was extremely slow. It's a new hotel and that could explain why the service isn't up to par. read more

Try the watermelon martini. You won't be disappointed. A highlight of the night was the Phenomenal service offered by our charming server Katie.

We went to the restaurant today for Mother's Day dinner. We got there at 5:15 and didn't get out until 8:15. We had reservations and they were hardly busy. We ordered drinks and it took half an hour to get them, and the entire evening continued with that time frame. We ran out of water immediately because it was 90+ degrees out and we were outside so we asked for refills and it took every one of us asking and then me going to the hostess stand twice to get a refill of water for our table. Even then, she refilled half our guests empty waters and left the others. Then our dinners come out and they got 3/7 meals wrong and 1 didn't even show up for half an hour. I finally found our waitress and asked if my husbands meal was coming out and she said it was. I guess she just didn't feel the need to communicate with us. My mom and sister in law ordered refills on their lemon drops and they never came. Then we asked for the bill and waited another half an hour before we finally went to the hostess stand again and had to stand there for an additional 15 minutes while she separated our checks. THEN my check had 2 drinks on it that I never ordered and she said "ok, I'll just comp them for you". Comp them? I never ordered them, as I stand there with my pregnant belly and toddler. But sure, let's not comp any of the food that was wrong and took hours to prepare. Each time we went to ask for something, our server was standing around talking or hugging people. So it's not like she was busy, she just didn't care. Same with the manager when we asked for water from her. She smirked and said "yep" and then never got it for us. $100 for the worst service ruining my Mother's Day evening. We will never be back and be sure to tell others not to waste hours and money on this establishment. read more

Nice place! Typically, I have a hard time sleeping at hotels. I slept great here thanks to amazing beds and soundproof rooms. The view from their waterfront room is beautiful. I had the pleasure of checking-in with Katie. I was immediately greeted upon entry with a smile and friendly welcome. Almost forgot, the complimentary robe & slippers are a plus. However, on one of my stays, I didn't have them in my room. Katie must have sprinted to my room. Within 3 mins she was at my door with a robe & slippers. She even brought a extra set. Now that's what I call exceptional service! read more
