“Great pre-business trip start”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

This is a great combination of the old style hotels - one of the oldest in Portland we've been told, and an great modern upgrade. Our room was very spacious, great shower, and very comfortable. The location is fantastic, its walking distance from the rail and surrounded by restaurants.

“Outstanding!”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

This is a wonderful base from which to explore Portland, and especially the Pearl District. We left our car at home and took Amtrak to Union Station, which is a short (~3/4 mile) walk from the Mark Spencer. The staff could not possibly be friendlier or more helpful; it was a delight just to chat with them (and the hotel... More

“Great for pets too!”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

We had a wonderful stay. They were very nice, let us check in a bit early, the hotel is lovely and they are so good with pets. We will stay there again. The food trucks nearby was handy for us while we went shopping. Overall a great experience.

“This is a very well located hotel,up from the famous pearl district.”

Mark Spencer is a fine hotel, very well located and a fairly smart choice in value for the money, A good breakfast, coffee juices, bagels, cereal and fruit provided in the morning. Close to many good restaurants its a great place to stay when in Portland and a night out on the town. I will be back.
