Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

Lovely Pearl District Hotel

This historical historical property is located in the"Pearl District" within 2 blocks of Powells Bookstore & Jakes Grill. My room.was beautifully appointed with 2 Queen beds, a kitchenette & partial downtown view. Morning tea/coffee available mornings off the Lobby & "wine hour" were unexpected treats after a 2 day xcountry train trip. Staff gracious &.accommodating.
