The hotel was located in a central location, close to restaurants and bars. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms were comfortable, though the tile in the showers of our two rooms needed renovated (mold stains). If the showers would have been updated, the hotel would have been excellent in my view.

Great!

Love this hotel. Second time staying here. Unfortunately though back in 2019 when I stayed for the first time, there was complimentary breakfast, not you have to pay for it. Still very delicious though. There was orange spots on the bathroom floor that seemed suspicious. The kitchenette drawers were t cleaned out totally. Other than those, love the room! Beds are super comfy, and amazing staff. Will book again in the future.

Nice hotel but definitely aging. None of the TVs have internet connections, no room service for late evening arrivals, everything is a bit shabby. But it is clean, sheets and beds are nice and it is conveniently located.

Nice historic hotel and building in downtown Portland. Walkable to most things in downtown and easy access to local transportation. Comfortable bed and dishes/fridge/ microwave provided. (No coffee that I noticed in the room, it a coffee machine.) The room is a bit dated and the bathroom is very small, but overall the room was comfortable and unique.

The hotel is conveniently located near Powell’s Bookstore, and easy walking distance to the waterfront and Pioneer Square. The room was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The friendly front desk staff was efficient at check in and made us feel at home.

**Smelled like mushrooms** stayed here a few times since 2018 and things are a little different. Room: smelled like mushrooms. Went to smell our other room and it was fine… so what was going on in our room. Staff did what they could to make the smell go away. lol! Some of it still lingered all night. Lighting was dim in the bathroom. Amenities: Still using Beekman products which is awesome but I just remember having things in the room and not having to ask for it, like coffee. Evening reception: did I miss this? No mention of it when we checked in. Valet: I swear they had it before or that we parked across the street at the lot but wow, their underground parking was terrifying and narrow. I wouldn’t trust a guest to park their car down there. Overall: we still find the Mark Spencer comfortable post Covid. We’ll be back.
