Nice hotel
Old traditional hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is convenient as it’s just a block away from the big book store. Parking gets a little tricky as they would run out of spots for visitors.

Great Location!
Very nice place, even if a little older. And while I had a couple people suggest it may not be the best, we were really close to everything we wanted to see. We even parked our van on the street and did not have ANY issues. We felt safe, for the most part.
Front desk was quick to respond and lots of tourists were booked here.

Mark Spencer is amazing
Super cute old hotel right in the heart of the city. Walking distant to all the things we came to see. Room was nicely air conditioned and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Great location and affordable. Free wine and cheese on the roof was very nice.

The Mark Spencer is Awesome!
The Mark Spencer is always a great stay. Clean, awesome rooms, nice little gym. If you park in the garage, its a little tight but it can be done.

Convenient location. Dirty shower
The location was convenient and there were restaurant options within walking distance. The room was spacious and the bathroom offered a lot of vanity space. Unfortunately the shower was not clean and left an overall impression of the place being dirty.

Great home base for downtown Portland
This is our second stat at the Mark Spencer, and it's becoming our go-to hotel in downtown Portland. It's steps away from restaurants and shopping. The service is excellent and the decor is pure Portland.

I had a really nice multi-night stay here. Perfect location to many stores and restaurants with parking on site (extra fee). There's a really cute wine and cheese hour to try a local wine and the room was extremely clean and comfortable.

Great hotel in a perfect central location. Friendly helpful staff, too.
Our room could have used blackout curtains though. The rooms are light colored so the light creeps in around the window shades and fills the room.
