It is downtown in a good area for dining and walking. The famous Powell’s Bookstore is nearby. It is a classic hotel. Unfortunately, the economics of providing parking in the downtown environment requires that they charge $30/day extra to park your car. The mattress on our bed was very saggy in the middle, but I saw stacks of new mattresses in the basement car garage ready to be installed. I assume the problem will be taken care of shortly.

The beds in most hotels I stay at are too soft and worn out. The Mark Spencer beds were just that; too soft for a 75 yo athlete. Normally, that would be a deal breaker for me, but I made it work cuz I had to. Otherwise, staff was very courteous, although I did sense a little stress going on amongst the staff and housekeeping within the first 24 hrs. Frozen and microwaved croissants do not constitute a breakfast and I realize space prep areas are an issue in an old/remodeled hotel. I think the dining/sitting areas could be better utilized around having a self-serve breakfast. All this said, the Mark Spencer Hotel is an excellent base from which to explore downtown Portland and the outlying neighborhoods.

No way

No way this worn out place could score 9.2 More like a 4. The posted reviews are BS. Don’t waste your money. Plenty of higher end alternatives nearby.
