This hotel provides all of the littles extras. Super comfy beds, 24-hour espresso machine in the lobby, wine hour in afternoon, and the New York Times (& USA Today) daily. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location can’t be beat. Also, the bathroom across from the elevator has a toilet with a heated seat & bidet😉.
Perfect balance between facility and its location. Staff and facility were amazing. Facility parking a bit tight but very secure. Sweet location to roam the Pearl District by foot. Easy access to freeway. Despite being in a busy city the place is really quiet.
Good location, quiet, large rooms, close to Portland Center Stage Theatre.
Nothing like the typical chains, but nothing like a "mom & pop" place. Really perfect for a traveling business person, or as a getaway for a couple. Maybe not the most kid-friendly place, but anywhere with a toddler can be a challenge. Really impressive hotel, with old school hospitality... like where they remember your name, even with a ton of people coming and going. Rooms are gorgeous, very clean. My only complaint is that there were no linens for the sofa bed (an oversight), but I should've checked for them before letting my toddler fall asleep. The staff handled the issue very well, very gracious and professional. This place will stick in my memories in a really lovely way. 😊
The Mark Spencer is perfect for Portland. Great staff, comfortable room and a great set up for tea time, wine tatsting & breakfast. You’re in the heart of the Pearl District. Close to great food and drinks, and a quick Uber ride to all that the city has to offer. Love it!
I absolutely love my stay. The staff were kind, helpful and just absolutely amazing. The location was perfect for my weekend . It was close to everything. I would definitely recommend Mark Spencer. This will most definitely not be my last visit.
Great stay. Location was perfect. We walked everywhere during our stay. Central location. Room was very nicely updated and bed comfortable. Will return.
Nice, cozy room. Very clean and well maintained. Hotel was located perfectly in downtown Portland, close to numerous cafe's and tav's. Had a nice stay.
Pleasant, friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. Good continental breakfast with enough variety. Nice library room for reading & relaxing. Coffee available all day with afternoon tea & wine-tasting. Very convenient location for exploring cultural Portland & outstanding neighborhood restaurants.
The hotel is located in a great spot, good for walking to many areas. It is a pretty hotel and has great service, including wine and cheese tasting every afternoon, good continental breakfast, and great helpful front desk. The room was very comfortable, with nice bed and linens. We had a great stay there.
I was given a room next to a room that was being redone. It was extremely loud and woke me up. Why did they assign me or anyone else this room when they knew it would be a problem that would cost people sleep? Awful night.
Convenient to rail lines. Clean and surprisingly quiet considering it is in a popular area and the rail runs by. Staff is courteous and helpful. Our only disappointment was that the hotel has no bar.
The biggest downsides were the super soft bed, which provided no support and the extreme humidity of the room once one has used the shower. It never quite went away. Those two things made the experience a stay I wouldn't want to repeat. If you like very soft beds you won't care, but beware the humidity (even with the a/c on). The staff was very pleasant and accommodating, the toiletries smelled great and weren't harsh. The location couldn't be better. If the problems were addressed I would recommend it wholeheartedly. But as it stands I wouldn't go back. I can't rate the food as I never took advantage of that portion of amenities.
The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable - with modern kitchenettes. The hotel is near good food, coffee, etc, and in a nice part of downtown. I would definitely recommend. My only complaint is that we were given a parking pass for two days but not told that it was going to cost $45.
If you are expecting service, this is not the place for you. If you come to expect exceptional quality don't bother. The staff here cannot think for themselves and even when I reached out to management, no one addressed my concerns. Read the fine print because they invent policies.
Great place. I would stay again. We had a great stay.
We stayed here last year and came back again this year. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Excellent location. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful!
Clean and friendly. Lose the everything! One of the nicest hotels in Portland. Nyc feel to it.
The Mark Spencer is in the heart of north downtown, a block from Powell's Books and half a dozen great restaurants. There's self-service parking in the basement at $20 a night, a good (if basic) continental breakfast in the morning including a machine that can make you a quick caramel double-shot mocha, and free wine tasting in the afternoon. It's an older hotel that's still being brought up to date, so the rooms are smallish and there was some construction noise during the work day. But the staff do everything they can to make you comfortable, it's quiet at night and the bed is perfect. We found it to be priced right and just right for our needs.
