Love this hotel, the only issue is parking. Had to pay to park on the street. If you are traveling without a vehicle, it’s an absolutely beautiful place.

The staff were great, but the property seemed rundown, moldy, dusty, and slightly musty smelling. The cost and free bottle of wine with happy hour at 5pm were nice perks though. The place does have a gym and cafe, but no pool or hot tub.

I thought the Mark Spencer was in a good area to walk around and see Portland. It was clean enough and employees were kind. Mattress in our room needed to be replaced. I only weigh about 120 and I sunk into a hole every night. Their small café is out of most items but their barista had an awesome personality. Café not open everyday and parking available for extra fee. Good hotel, nothing fancy. Cheryl's on 12th is great for breakfast and Stumptown Coffee Roasters had great drinks. Both walkable from hotel.

The staff was great, friendly and attentive, the location is good. The only thing I will say is the hotel is old, I mean over 100 years old which gives it a lot of its charm but the carperts need a good cleaning and in my room the carpet was not in great condition and the dust ruffle was stained. If you’re looking for a modern hotel this is not it, But if your looking for a friendly place with charm this is the place.
