Portland on Purpose
The staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable.The Mark Spencer has the perfect blend of historic charm and modern facilities. The room amenities were nicely done, spacious, and rooms were very comfortable. The hotel was in a prime location, close to all the major attractions. We were two blocks from Powell’s book store, around the corner from Cheryl’s on 12th (highly recommend for breakfast), and in any direction we found shopping of all kinds to fit any style. I am horrible at names but he young lady who checked us in and out was very pleasant and helpful. If you are not use to parking in Portland, it’s challenging. Our first night we had a bit of a hiccup at the air port so we got to the hotel later than planned and the hotel parking was full. She gave a list of places the hotel recommended but let us know to check in the morning for availability in the hotel space. Again, let me stress…. Parking in Portland will make you say words you didn’t even know you knew and make you wish you’d chosen the extra insurance on your rental car. But once you maneuver your way into a spot, thank whatever deity or Mother Earth you choose for not letting you destroy your (or another’s) vehicle, then everything you need is walkable.

Hotel is local to Downtown Portland ! Super fast and easy to walk everywhere. Room was clean and beds were comfy. Parking with a big car is a little stressful because parking spaces are tiny! But other than the parking garage place was great!

We’ve been to Portland several times, but this was the first time we stayed at the Mark Spencer hotel. The location can’t be beat, our room was spacious with a great bed, and the staff were very courteous despite being shorthanded in the housekeeping department (our room wasn’t ready until 4:30). The wine happy hour at 5 was a pleasant bonus. Overall we’d stay there again.
