Mark Spencer Hotel

Cons- VERY thin walls! I could easily hear the traffic, my neighbors, and even the elevator door, which was very creaky. Made it very difficult to sleep.

Great location for anyone staying in Portland. Really comfortable stay and close to so much

We enjoyed our one night stay. It was a wonderful hotel with friendly staff and comfortable rooms.

front desk staff were very kind and helpful

One thing to keep in mind is the limited parking. If you’re planning to park at the hotel, I would definitely recommend reserving a parking spot in advance, as the underground parking has limited availability. Otherwise, you may have to park on the street or in an outdoor lot. Given the area, I personally didn’t feel very comfortable leaving a car outside, especially with the amount of reported car break-ins and broken windows around Portland. That said, the location is quite convenient, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and things to do nearby. And the staff were honestly one of the best parts of my stay. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Overall, I think the hotel has a lot going for it, especially the staff and location. However, the smell in the room and the parking situation were significant enough for me to give it 3 stars.

Amazing atmosphere, super convenient being in the center of Portland, so many food options all within a walking distance

Wonderful vibes. Room renovations and deep cleans needed. Staff was five star great. And we had an overall pleasant stay for excellent value

Staff advised for free street parking after 7:30pm. Cool location. Renewed hotel really has the vibe. Beautiful place to visit and stay.

Staff was friendly and accommodating!

Super friendly and helpful staff. Room is cute and generally in good condition. One of the light bulbs was out but not a big deal. Overall a very good stay. It’s obvious that the staff and management really care about the property. I recommend anyone who’s looking for a place to stay in Portland to stay at Mark and Spencer.

The Mark Spencer is a lovely hotel. The room was spacious, beautiful and very comfortable. The front desk staff was kind and helpful. There are tons of places to walk to for shopping or dining. We’ve stayed here a few times and we will definitely return when visiting Portland.

Staff is friendly and helpful in all aspects. Great guest experience.

I’ll definitely be back, very nice hotel, staff were very helpful, excellent service. Coffee was great.

Room was nice but the view out the window was a pigeon poop covered area that was really disgusting. I needed to keep the shade closed to keep it covered which kept the natural light out of the room very claustrophobic. Location for touring Portland was ideal staff was friendly hotel and room very clean

The room was nice and big, the staff was wonderful, and the bed was super comfy!

Great room and staff were incredible

I stayed three nights and never received housekeeping, fresh towels, or bed service, so I wasn’t sure if that was something that needed to be requested. Parking was reasonably priced compared to other downtown hotels. I wasn’t able to get a spot in the hotel’s garage, but there was parking across the street, although finding a spot at night could be difficult. The front desk staff was pleasant, and I appreciated the complimentary water each day. Overall, a decent stay in a very convenient location.

The Mark Spencer Hotel was a great find for our family of 5 in the suite. The whole hotel had a crisp, clean updated, historic vibe. Our room had a spacious set-up with the two beds in one room and a cute couch/full size pullout in the comfy sitting area, and a efficient bathroom with a large, neatly tiled shower with special features . The kitchenette also offered more than I expected for a hotel suite with a cooktop and pans, while still keeping with the overall classy look. The staff was helpful and kind, and we enjoyed the Oregon wine tasting in the evening. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the hotel & see more of Portland. We’d definitely stay here again!

Excellent service, great staff
