During your Portland vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Japanese Garden
Considered the finest example of a Japanese garden in North America, Portland's Japanese Garden is one of the city's most popular attractions. Don't miss it. Not only are there five different styles of Japanese gardens scattered over 5 1/2 acres, but there's also a view of volcanic Mount Hood, which has a strong resemblance to Mount Fuji.While Japanese gardens are traditionally not designed with colorful floral displays in mind, this garden definitely has its seasonal highlights. In early spring there are the cherry trees, in midspring there are the azaleas, in late spring a huge wisteria bursts into bloom, and in early summer, huge Japanese irises color the banks of a pond. Among the gardens, there's a beautiful and very realistic waterfall.This is a very tranquil spot and is even more peaceful on rainy days when the crowds stay away, so don't pass up a visit just because it's raining. Also, on the third Saturday of each of the summer months, there's a demonstration of the Japanese tea ceremony in the garden's tea house. There are also many special events held here throughout the year (ikebana, bonsai, Japanese-inspired art).
Oregon Zoo
Perhaps best known for its elephants, the Oregon Zoo has the largest breeding herd of elephants in captivity. However, in recent years, the zoo has been continually adding new exhibits and has been branching out beyond the world of pachyderms. The Africa exhibit, which includes a very lifelike rain forest and a savanna populated by zebras, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, and other animals, is one of the most true-to-life habitats you'll ever see at a zoo. Equally impressive is the Alaskan tundra exhibit, with grizzly bears, wolves, and musk oxen. The Cascade Crest exhibit includes mountain goat habitat, and in the Steller Cove exhibit, you can watch the antics of Steller sea lions and sea otters. Also, don't miss the bat house. At press time, there were plans to open a new Amazon Flooded Forest exhibit in late 2001.In the summer, there are outdoor concerts in the zoo's amphitheater; admission prices vary.
Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden
Nowhere do rhododendrons do better than in the cool, rainy Northwest, and nowhere in Portland is there a more impressive planting of rhodies than at Crystal Springs. Eight months out of the year this is a tranquil garden, with a waterfall, a lake, and ducks to feed. But when the rhododendrons and azaleas bloom from March to June, it becomes a spectacular mass of blazing color. The Rhododendron Show and Plant Sale is held here on Mother's Day weekend.

Friendly. Good value. On the fringe of a seedy area in one direction.

Ann, Richmond, VA, 2006-06-27

The hotel is within walking distance of several nice restaurants and within walking distance of the trolley.

The room was comfortabable once a roll away bed was brought in to replace the horrible mattress on the pull out sofa bed. Air conditioning in the living area was not sufficient for the hot days I was there. The bedroom air was fine. The staff was helpful. Although on the fringe of a seedy area, I felt safe on the streets.

nice but problems with service

Eric, Chicago, IL, 2005-08-04

Our stay was marred by a defective air conditioner; they did attempt to fix it but were not able to do so or change us to another room, and it was hard to sleep due to the heat and humidity. Also, I sent a pair of pants to be cleaned; it took over 24 hours and they had shrunk significantly! Otherwise comfy room, interesting area, good complimentary breakfast.

Good hotel for just one night

Sally, Los Angeles, CA, 2005-07-19

The hotel was good for one night's stay. However, since my husband is totally blind, he could smell the age of the hotel. The rooms were clean but the air conditioner kept my husband up all night; he did not sleep well due to the loud noise. It was ok for me; not the greatest. I did like the continental breakfast after which we left and continued our trip.

Good Location, Parking very accessable

Anonymous, Philadelphia, PA, 2005-07-11

I found the Mark Spenser to be a bit of a disapointment when it came to room size and room fittings--the room could have used a "face lift." I had a window airconditioner that was awkward to use with the drapes open and the lights on at night. No provisions for privacy were easily made. Had I wanted to use it, there was a nicely equiped efficency kitchen, strangely without a microwave, however. The room was small, overall, compared to other downtown hotels I've stayed in for comparable prices. As I was alone, this wasn't a problem. There was very adequate closet space. There was an intimate atmosphere in the hotel, which serves afternoon tea as well as a continental breakfast. Plantings and outdoor seating areas were lovely. I'd stay here again as the location was very good for me. The small parking lot across the street made it very easy to come and go for a downtown hotel. It was also a good location for downtown sights.
