The first night we checked in, the front desk person was excellent! Knew where we could go to get a late dinner. The restaurant was charming with good food! The staff after that were distracted and forgetful about us requesting fresh towels.

It was a nice hotel. The staff was very friendly, and the place was clean. The room was nice and spacious. We stayed in the master suite with a kitchenette. It was in a great location within walking distance of the entire downtown district. However, the place was a little beat up. The bathroom door did not have a latch, and it kept sliding open. The vent in the bathroom had limited, if any, air flow, which made it more difficult because the door wouldn't stay closed because the latch was broken. The carpet was a little torn up at the transition to the tile in the kitchenette, and the couch was a sleeper and in fairly rough condition. All in all, I would stay at Mark Spensor again due to the location, Friendly staff, and the cleanliness of the hotel.

Portland trip May 2025

fun trip! Great location. getting around by mostly walking or taking Max. Max was very easy and affordable. we didn't rent a car for the 5 days we were in Portland. The Saturday University Farmers market was great! We ate really good food and Kens bakery was a favorite. Washington Park is a must, and of course we went to Cannon Beach with a relative. The tide pools were super fun. I liked walking in the different neighborhoods and seeing the houses etc. We felt safe.

Great location and spacious room. Close to different public transport options. Staff were awesome! Very accommodating and nice, they got us in earlier than expected. Some parts of the room needed more cleaning attention such as the couch. The pull out bed needs updating, could feel the age. Other than that, would definitely recommend.
