The Mark Spencer Hotel (The), in Portland, is a 2 star budget hotel that caters to business travelers, has historical color, and features great views. The hotel caters to a hip crowd, can, on request, provide baby sitting, was recently renovated, is situated in the "Downtown Portland" area, and provides internet access. Guests found the service "friendly". What travelers said they loved: "the staff". Sleep connoisseurs described the bed as "comfortable" and "great". The hotel is near award winning restaurants, including Montage , Higgins , and Paley's Place . Also nearby: Tears of Joy Theatre , Portland Rock Gym , and Portland Police Historical Museum . Other local places to consider are Best Western Imperial Hotel and Portland Guest House Bed and Breakfast.
Unassuming and inviting, this hotel is a good spot for extended-stay guests who want a downtown location. What's more, some of Portland's best attractions are steps away, including Jake's Famous Crawfish,...

The manager bent over backwards to accomodate us. At first, because they were booked up, they put us up in their apartment building, the Washington Suites, around the corner. But even on the fifth…

I love this hotel. My friend discovered it for us many years ago, and I've been returning here ever since. This hotel is a little old-school, but that's what adds to its luster. I feel like I'm in…

Walk to Powell's for that morning coffee. Or, make it in your room; the kitchenettes are quite handy. The reason I am giving the Mark Spencer three stars is because the whole place could use a bit…

The location and staff are amazing, and the rooms are simple but lovely. I don't think there's a better bang for your buck in this town. The history of housing artists is just plain cool.

Although our jr. suite was spacious and the kitchenette well-stocked, this room/experience was not worth the price. The decor is hideously outdated, and not in a fun retro way. The towels were small and rough,...
