As I mentioned, giving the difficult problem Portland is having downtown we were a bit leery about the location, and the problems are evident(I say this as someone that lived in Portland for many years and loves Portland), but honestly, we did not feel uncomfortable or unsafe walking around the hotel or into the pearl District at all...

When my flight was finally cancelled, I requested a free cancellation (in the early hours of 20 May) and it was given quickly and without a fuss... They even contacted bookings.com for me as I could not call a US number... Thank you, I hope to make it to Portland and your hotel one day...

Michael in the bar was also so kind and helpful as was the valet person but I wasn’t able to catch his name...

    The Mark Spencer hotel in downtown Portland exceeds all expectations from the moment of arrival. Check in was pleasant and our party was accommodated beautifully... Parking is available in a secure underground lot for $25 per night...which I find very reasonable and you can access your vehicle throughout your stay easily... Our room was lovely and super clean...

Our Queen suite had a separate sitting area with an attractive and well-supplied kitchenette, and a bathroom with a tub... The room and hotel were spotless and exceptionally quiet (didn't hear traffic or guests)... Our room was pretty and had charm as well, with brick walls... It is only a block from Powell's Books and we also walked to the Japanese Gardens, Oregon Historical Society museum and OMSI... The staff were all helpful and friendly - really outstanding!...

The Mark Spencer was in a fantastic location, close to many great restaurants, shopping and things to do. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed was pillowy and soft. Shower worked great. Mini fridge and microwave in room. Free wine and cheese in the lobby every night. Parking was $25 right under the building (you really do not need a car). Overall wonderful.

We can’t say enough about the Mark Spencer Hotel. The location can’t be beat, central and easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We had a lovely suite with a kitchenette and living/dining area. Amenities included a wine hour in the lobby and easy parking right next door. Amazing - and quite reasonably priced. We would highly recommend this fine hotel!

I came for an extended stay while attending the Floral Institute of Design and am beyond pleased! The hotel is clean and tidy, the staff is accommodating, helpful and pleasant at all times! Housekeeping came regularly. Transportation was right there! And the location is prime! I will always remember how the staff made me feel welcome and at home. This was my place of comfort! The owners care, the management and staff care. You will have warm coffee, snacks and wine, be happy and taken care of during your stay. Thank you for everything MSH, I will forever cherish my time there!

They do not have enough staff to make sure the rooms are clean, they do not answer the phone when you dial the front desk and if you have any needs as far as housekeeping after 4pm, they cannot help you. The rooms are small and our room smelled strongly of ladies perfume but we couldn't even reach the front desk to tell them. The wait to check in was almost an hour. Parking is $28 but that is not listed anywhere either. The location is the only plus.
