...We found the location to be great, as we could walk to many different shops, parks, and restaurants...

We love the comfortable feel of this hotel and its great location near restaurants, coffee shops, and Powell's Books...

...Mark Spencer Hotel is located in a great location and walking distance to many shops and restaurants...

...Location worked for us--though it should be noted that Portland does have a homeless problem...

...Although walkability in this location was very good, the sad state of the unhoused can't be ignored in this area...

This is a very good value, with well appointed rooms , a great location adjacent to the Pearl district, close to downtown shopping, and near public transportation stops...

...30 mins from airport , down town location with good restaurants & retail footprint in walking distance...

...Location of the hotel for this trip was perfect we were able to walk or take short car ride to everything we needed...

...The amount of stuff to do and places to eat surrounding the Mark Spencer make it a perfect location for a getaway...

...The location downtown was near so many eateries and to Powell's City of Books...

...the location is central to a lot of great restaurants, venues, and other famous Portland attractions...

Having stayed here before we liked the location, which turned out great since the performance we had come to Portland to see was just a short walk away...

...It was my first time to Portland so I wasn't sure about the location, but it's close to Portland's best attraction - Powell's Books, and plenty of good restaurants, shopping, and coffee shops are all within walking distance...

...The location is great, it’s easy to get to other areas of Portland and a quick walk to Powell’s Books...

...We have stayed there a number of times in the past and always enjoyed, but have not for a couple of years so was not sure of how they were doing, and also had some concerns about the location(more on that in a moment)... 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...

...We’ve stayed here a few time—beds/shower are excellent; location makes some great restaurants walkable within 15 min; parking isn’t too bad on street (3 times within a block of hotel in 16 hr stay)...

...The location is so convenient for exploring old town and downtown Portland...

...The rooms are tidy, the location is great, and the staff is friendly, but one drawback is that the bed was too soft for us...

...It has a great location for things that interest me and I feel assured of being well cared for...

...The hotel provided a great location to both as well as a close proximity to some fun shopping in the Pearl district...

...Comfortable room, that was clean and well designed... Spacious room with nice natural light... My daughters liked fun photos in the hallways...

...The nicely appointed suite had 2 rooms with a large king bed and a sleeper sofa in the living room... The king bed was very plush and comfy...

...Definitely check out the stairs, old original hardwood...

This is a charming hotel which was very walk friendly to such locations as Powell’s Books and dining. Loved the light and views in the corner king room with kitchenette we had...

This is a very good value, with well appointed rooms , a great location adjacent to the Pearl district, close to downtown shopping, and near public transportation stops...

...The place was really good, old school classic style and we love the ambience...

...Corner King room was large and has sitting area which was perfect for our group... Beds are very comfortable; room is clean and quiet...

Having stayed here before we liked the location, which turned out great since the performance we had come to Portland to see was just a short walk away... My wife particularly liked the little vanity area in the bathroom...

I was in Portland for a concert, it was cold out so I decided to spend time relaxing in my room - the bed was so comfy, and the room was cozy...

...Room was comfortable and clean and I loved the arts theme that each floor had to offer...

...Our corner room on the 5th floor was so comfortable and cozy I wish we could’ve stayed longer so next time we’re in Portland we’ll have to come back to the Mark Spencer!...

...The room itself is stunning; I've never stayed in a room that was this gorgeous. Beautiful shower and bathroom, mega-comfortable bed...I could go on for hours about this room!...

...The room was clean, spacious and the beds super comfortable... Also super handy is how close the hotel was to performance venues and a variety of stores...

...The staff was extremely helpful as I needed recommendations several times for different local locations plus they gave me a mask as my daughter didn't want to go to the concert without one...

Came into town to attend a concert and chose the Mark Spencer because of a good prior experience and overall value...

...The rooms are always clean and comfortable, the aesthetic is very pleasing, and the staff is welcoming and helpful...

...Big rooms, really comforable bed and bedding... Will definitely stay here when visiting P-Town...

...Staff was super helpful and friendly, even asked us about our event upon return from a concert... The room was beautifully maintained and clean, and the walk-in shower was lovely...

...Our room was lovely and super clean... It made the space feel like a home away from home...

...Clean, remodeled and beautifully decorated room...

...Our room on the 6th floor was a good size with King Size bed and bright. The only issue we had was the room smelled like an old man had lived in it for awhile and they didn't change the sheets... Was too busy, already anxious for the event and tired to ask for a new room so we just opened the window...

...The suite was spacious, and we used the kitchenette multiple times to save on food costs...

The room has been nicely renovated and the hotel retains its homey feeling that you don't find in many of the modern chain hotels these days...

...We booked a Master Suite room since there was 3 of us. It is one of the largest rooms in the hotel... Booked it with a prepaid rate which was a great deal... The nicely appointed suite had 2 rooms with a large king bed and a sleeper sofa in the living room...

Unclean bed linens, and bad Wi-Fi connection are the reason for my less than 5 star review. Otherwise, good location and spacious rooms... We got into our room and the duvet was covered in stains and the room smelled of smoke, they did move us to a new room but that room had Wi-Fi that would never connect so we had to use a hot-spot...

...Rooms are large - ours had 3 rooms (bathroom, sitting/lounge are with a couch as well as a small kitchenette and a bedroom with 2 queen beds. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean...

Had to switch rooms due to pet odor, second room also had an odor... Staff were friendly in accommodating a room change...

Lots of Portland charm packed into this small hotel. Great views, comfortable beds and amazing location!!... Warning- there are blackout curtains in the rooms so it is easy to sleep late if you’re not careful!...

...room was great parking is tricky otherwise fantastic... some coffee available upon request for your room otherwise loby coffee available ...

...Just keep in mind that Mark Spencer is the old building with some issues like small musty rooms and thin walls. However this hotel is a good choice for solo travelers who exploring the city and looking for a good restaurants near...

Traveling with elder family members so we booked 2 rooms, one ADA and one corner king. The ADA room on first floor was perfect and easy to access... Corner King room was large and has sitting area which was perfect for our group... My only complaint is the room had a funny (not good funny) smell...

Hotel had an historic, somewhat understated elegance feel... This individual helped with my room placement, so I didn't have to have two different rooms (I booked rooms with a booking site and the hotel)...

...Our corner room on the 5th floor was so comfortable and cozy I wish we could’ve stayed longer so next time we’re in Portland we’ll have to come back to the Mark Spencer!...

...I called down to the desk so we could have control over our heat in the room from 67 degrees and wanted it at 72 but would only have it go up to 70…being that it was freezing outside, our room was frosty but other than that, we loved our experience. We will definitely be recommending and rebooking at your hotel in the future...

...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... Cheryl's on 12th offers room service...

...The rooms definitely don’t seem to be cleaned well... The rooms and hallways for that matter have a strong smell.. can’t even describe it... I would not recommend this hotel especially for the price and you literally have to pay for everything!...

...Every day there were people milling around in the lobby for hours waiting for a room...

...This hotel is extremely expensive with no added perks... The room we paid for was called a suite but it was literally the tiniest room we have ever stayed in, there was one window but it overlooked a bird poop covered ceiling buried between brick walls, the room was muggy with minimal air conditioning, it smelled odd and like mold in some areas, it wasn't cleaned very well, and was also designed badly...

...Our room was lovely and super clean. We chose the executive sweet for a little more room and we loved having the sitting area and kitchenette space... This hotel was perfect for our little getaway!... If you are in Portland, do yourself a favor and stay at the Mark Spencer hotel!...

...The staff are very friendly and the rooms are amazingly quiet - only the loudest street noise comes in through the windows...

Parking and hidden parking fees was the only problem...

...We booked a Master Suite room since there was 3 of us... Booked it with a prepaid rate which was a great deal... I would have given the hotel a 5 Star rating if the mattress on the sleeper bed was more comfortable, it was pretty bad...

This is a very good value, with well appointed rooms , a great location adjacent to the Pearl district, close to downtown shopping, and near public transportation stops...

...It's only a couple blocks to catch the MAX train, which you can take to and from the airport for a few bucks, so you can save a fortune on Uber fees...

...There are specialty coffees available for a fee...

...Studio apartment room could use some updating...

...We were able to park on-site, for a daily fee lower than surrounding garages...

My daughter and I took a spur of the moment Spring Break trip to Portland and chose to stay at this hotel because of the cost and reviews...

...We paid almost 300 bucks to have one of the noisiest rooms I've ever stayed in. If you're looking for a relaxing sleep avoid room 609... We live locally and love to stay in downtown but I'm not sure I'd stay there again unless we were guaranteed a quiet room...

...Underground parking was $25 per day and connected to hotel...

...Mini fridge and microwave in room... Parking was $25 right under the building (you really do not need a car)...

...Portland is definitely a bit sketch these days but this hotel was safe, clean and very high end and a great location... Oh and they have coffee and pastries you can order for super cheap in the lobby and the coffee gal was so sweet and made delish lattes!...

...Our made made-to-order breakfast was delicious and we were impressed that prices were reasonable as was the secured parking lot (where so many properties charge $45-50 which I think is ridiculous and won’t stay at those hotels)...

...MarkSpencer was convenient, cost effective and comfortable for a family of 3...

...Great Location, very reasonable price, everyone súper helpful and welcoming. They have complimentary coffee every morning and parking Lot available for 25 dls/day...

The location of this hotel is bad especially for the price... I honestly was not impressed I drove a couple hours for an event that got canceled and instead of staying the night I literally drove back home... I would not recommend this hotel especially for the price and you literally have to pay for everything!...

...This hotel is extremely expensive with no added perks. Nothing is free there no coffee, breakfast, evening drinks, nothing... The room we paid for was called a suite but it was literally the tiniest room we have ever stayed in, there was one window but it overlooked a bird poop covered ceiling buried between brick walls, the room was muggy with minimal air conditioning, it smelled odd and like mold in some areas, it wasn't cleaned very well, and was also designed badly...

...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...

...Parking was convenient and affordable, and we felt safe walking, even late at night...

...Admittedly it was more than we needed but still enjoyed it nonetheless... I told my husband that the next time we go to Portland, we have to take the whole family (5 of us) and must stay at this hotel...

...The room was perfectly comfortable, quiet, large, and very clean...

...Clean room and On-site laundry...

...Rooms were updated, very clean, comfortable beds, noise-isolating windows and friendly staff that's there to help you with your needs...

...I was really impressed with the updates made, the cleanliness and that they kept the vintage charm...

Staff was fantastic and friendly, property was very nice, well maintained, and clean...

Charming, clean, friendly and comfortable...

The rooms are always spotless, the bed super comfortable and the staff excellent...

...We were happy to see things are quite well at the hotel. Lobby very nice, clean and welcoming... Room clean and well set up(though they could use more usb ports for charging)... Beds very comfortable (a big one for me) and bathroom clean and roomy...

...Very comfortable and clean room, very helpful and friendly staff...

...The hotel is very clean, and the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly... Beautiful shower and bathroom, mega-comfortable bed...I could go on for hours about this room!...

...The rooms were nicely appointed and clean...

I was gifted a free night stay voucher and was very impressed with this hotel. The front desk staff were very helpful and the room was very clean and quiet...

...Everything clean and well laid out...

Mark Spencer hotel made our November second honeymoon trip to Portland wonderful. 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)...

...The whole property is clean and well maintained, and the room was absolutely lovely...

The Mark Spencer is a clean, conveniently located hotel with a parking lot ($25 per night) and a kind, helpful staff... If you want to be within easy walking distance of Powell's Books and that is your main objective, then it will probably work well for you.The "very good" rating is primarily for the staff and the cleanliness...

...The room was beautifully maintained and clean, and the walk-in shower was lovely...

...The room was very clean, the front desk service was super friendly and helpful, and location was perfect...

...Clean beautiful rooms, friendly helpful staff, and super comfy bed...

...Great location, clean quiet room, onsite underground parking, and a kitchenette...

...Only problem is the noise from the trams at night/early morning...

...There are some bars nearby the hotel so be cautious of people on the street nearby, but noise wasn't an issue at all...

...Also usual city street noise...

...We had an upper floor so no city noise at all...

Stayed on a Saturday night and it was very quiet not even hallway noise...

...It is very close to so many great restaurants/stores however, there is a lot of noise from the rail. Loved our stay, only negatives were the street noise and no exercise bike in the fitness center...

...The staff are very friendly and the rooms are amazingly quiet - only the loudest street noise comes in through the windows...

...Parking was very secure if you get there in time to have a parking pass (first come first serve basis). The bed was comfortable and the staff were very nice...

...Staff was great at recommending restaurants and each recommendation was some of the best food we’ve ever had. Currently they are not offering daily room service post Covid, but the hotel is generally very clean... They also offered free wine every day during the evening which is a bonus...

Staff at the Mark Spencer Hotel suggested that I park my car at a lot nearby, as their own parking structure was at capacity...

We have stayed here three times during visits to Portland... Hotel staff are always very welcoming and it is a great place to start a walk to Powell's Books and other places in the downtown area... Also, this hotel is very dog friendly so expect to see dogs in the lobby and elevator...

...I communicated with the hotel regarding my delays and they responded promptly. 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... I have stayed at your property in SF years ago and it was wonderful as well...

...Rooms were updated, very clean, comfortable beds, noise-isolating windows and friendly staff that's there to help you with your needs. On our first night we were in a room with poor wifi, so they gave us a choice of several other rooms... We were able to park on-site, for a daily fee lower than surrounding garages...

Traveling with elder family members so we booked 2 rooms, one ADA and one corner king. The ADA room on first floor was perfect and easy to access... Corner King room was large and has sitting area which was perfect for our group... Location of the hotel for this trip was perfect we were able to walk or take short car ride to everything we needed... Beds are very comfortable; room is clean and quiet...

The staff at Mark Spencer were attentive and the rooms clean and beautifully laid out. Our bed felt like sleeping on a cloud and the kitchenette had everything we needed for simple breakfasts... They’re doing a really good job at making this hotel the perfect place for us to stay when we visit Portland...

...The Staff at the MSH let me check in early and stay a few minutes later on my checkout day... The parking situation was stressful but they did their best to help me with my anxiety surrounding the parking garage...

This hotel is beautiful and the staff is wonderful. A super nice young man checked us in around 8pm and he was so helpful with where to eat and anything we needed... We had our own micro/sink/fridge area that was fully stocked with wine glasses and anything else we would want... We brought our dinner and wine back to our room and had a relaxing evening... Oh and they have coffee and pastries you can order for super cheap in the lobby and the coffee gal was so sweet and made delish lattes!...

...Staff so friendly and efficient and Rosanna at the front desk made us feel very welcomed. And she cheerfully greeted us again this morning remembering we’d been to the Trailblazers game the night before!... Michael in the bar was also so kind and helpful as was the valet person but I wasn’t able to catch his name... Our made made-to-order breakfast was delicious and we were impressed that prices were reasonable as was the secured parking lot (where so many properties charge $45-50 which I think is ridiculous and won’t stay at those hotels)...

...We were able to see the hotel prior to booking, and Cydelle was friendly, knowledgeable, and organized... In the evenings our group was able to gather in a comfortable sitting area near the lobby...

Very Nice stay at Mark Spencer Hotel. Great Location, very reasonable price, everyone súper helpful and welcoming... They have complimentary coffee every morning and parking Lot available for 25 dls/day...

Staff was friendly and helpful, and our king executive suite was large enough for a family holiday gathering... The bedding for the sofabed and the coffee for the coffee-maker had to be requested from the front desk...

...The staff was extremely helpful as I needed recommendations several times for different local locations plus they gave me a mask as my daughter didn't want to go to the concert without one...

...The staff notified us immediately and offered us resources for getting a replacement. They also waived our parking fees, and I'm extremely grateful for the help that they offered us in a stressful situation... I loved the room that we stayed in, and probably would stay here again... I would just request to park in the parking garage, or find another public garage to park in rather than their open lot...

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... If you are in Portland, do yourself a favor and stay at the Mark Spencer hotel!...

...Centrally located, (being only a block from Powell's Books is a bonus! ), this well-appointed hotel had everything you could ask for... Friendly staff, plenty of space in the room, and comfortable beds... We travelled as a family with a 7 year old and 5 month old and we found the kitchenette room to be ample for our needs, with a separate living area and plenty of space and amenities to cook breakfast and make lunch to take with us for the day... I'd happily recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Portland...

We loved staying at the Mark Spencer. Staff was super helpful and friendly, even asked us about our event upon return from a concert... There was plenty of room for three adults in the executive suite... The room was beautifully maintained and clean, and the walk-in shower was lovely... I REALLY appreciate good water pressure... Parking was convenient and affordable, and we felt safe walking, even late at night...

I love this hotel and will continue to stay here when I visit Portland... The staff are very friendly and the rooms are amazingly quiet - only the loudest street noise comes in through the windows...

I really like the fact that the lower part of each window could be opened in such a way that rain would not come in... Microwave and empty fridge were also handy as was the nearness of Whole Foods...

...The MSH is conveniently located to many popular restaurants, bars, and shops in downtown Portland. The corner king room was spacious and comfortable, and a great place to stay with our 2 dogs... Easy and accessible self parking was an added bonus...

...Great staff and comfortable accommodations... We had a rental car and were able to park our car in a garage each night... We also loved being able to walk out of the hotel and walk to many near by attractions...

Good location and liked that it was close to Powell Books. I also liked that it was in an area that was quite walkable and close to grocery stores like Whole Foods and CVS... I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely return again...
