I was really impressed with the level of service and friendliness of the staff. Location is great - walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel is undergoing some updates; though clean and comfortable, will benefit from all the improvements since some finishes seem a little worn. More

My stay at The Mark Spencer Hotel was very nice. From check-in, to the room, to the view of Downtown Portland, to the breakfasts, to check-out I have nothing but good things to say. I am looking forward to go back. . . . . . . . More

We will stay again and take advantage of a full kitchen. Although walking distance to many great restaurants. More

Hotel was well located for walking to many of the great, hip spots, bars and near Powell Books. For the money, this was the best choice in that area. Room was a 1 Bedroom Apartment with small kitchen, mid-sized refrigerator, Living Room, Bed and Bath. Upper Floors would be better to get away from the street and partying crowd noise... More

The location is great, near the Pearl District restaurants, downtown, and other sites such as the Portland Art Museum. Getting around on public transit was also easy from... More

Right downtown. Close to Powell's, and a short walk to the art museum. Help-yourself good breakfast. Espresso/tea/hot choc available at any time in the lobby. Wine-tasting and tea and cookies are included. Most rooms have full kitchen. My only complaint was the squeaky floor boards. We were fine on the top floor but I think if you're in a lower... More

The staff was very helpful and friendly, the location was perfect: in the heart of Portland walking distance from everything: shopping, bars, cafes, restaurants, the bookstores, Pearl District etc... The rooms are clean and nice albeit in a retro-charm sorta way. The rooms are comfortable but a little crowded - they have kitchenettes though! The lobby has daily teas/wine tasting/... More
