I enjoyed my stay at the Mark Spencer Hotel. The location is perfect, right in the heart of downtown, surrounded by great restaurants, coffee shops with amazing pastries, and lots to do (Powell’s is super close). The city was especially beautiful with all the Christmas lights, and the hotel definitely added to the whole Portland experience. Also, the free coffee for guests was a HUGE bonus for me - great taste. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the cleaninglessness, but the location + coffee got me.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was nicely furnished, clean, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The kitchenette feature of the suite was surprisingly well equipped, including sharp knives, wine glasses, and a microwave. Unfortunately, the WiFi in the hotel was completely unusable. In the middle of the hotel (e.g. not on a top floor or distant room), the signal strength was so low that neither phones nor laptops could be connected. Additionally, the TVs were modern, but connected only to a cable service, and because of the unusable WiFi, it was impossible to stream anything. In short, it's a great spot if you want to explore Portland, but rather limited in terms of what you can do to relax and enjoy being in the room.

The convenience the hotel was to everything we needed to do while in the city. The rooms were good and the bed was nice. Appreciate the kitchenette. Rooms are a little dated and could use updating but over all price and quality were good.

I don’t like how check in was at 4pm. Pretty inconvenient having to fly in and store our stuff in their storage. Also, one of the concierge men had an attitude as if we inconvenienced them when trying to get some stuff out of or stored luggage. We had to get ready in the lobby. Also, the cards they gave us had to be reactivated one night. Other than that it was ok.

Good: it was cute and quirky. Bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. Loved the view and the brick building. The area was safe enough that my daughter and I walked to grab groceries and several options for food nearby. Right next to Powell books. Staff was friendly. Bad: it seemed like it needed a good deep clean. (The fabric on the chair, the corners of the bathroom, a stain quarter size on the bedspread) they didn’t have honey out for the tea or fresh creamer out for the coffee except 1 day when we were there.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was clean and spacious. Bed was firm and comfortable. What made our experience at this hotel just “okay” was the customer service. I was greeted (or lack there of) by a very rude employee. He was very condescending, disrespectful, and overall made me feel on edge checking in. Additionally, my husband asked for laundry bags, and his response was “They’re already somewhere in your room.” He didn't even bother to give us any or direct us to where they were. We couldn’t find any when he got back. Overall, we will probably not be coming back, especially if that employee is still there.

Ideal location. My room had a basic kitchen, which was nice. Staff are courteous and helpful. And they have a laundry facility in the building. Oh, and pet friendly. My dog gave it two paws up 🐶
