The staff is always friendly and helpful, the property is lovely, and the wine and cheese hour is great! I have stayed here twice, and very much like the hotel, but each time I've stayed, there has been a very loud noise that goes on through the night and morning that I don't know the origin of. It's not noise from another room. It is consistently the same loud, heavy thud, at all hours. I'm a very light sleeper, and it's the only thing that detracts from this wonderful hotel.

John

I asked for a view room, and I got a room on the third floor of an eight story building with a view of the ugly building, directly across the street. I also did not like the fact that I paid $15 for an ice cream and a snickers bar. The room itself was OK, but the bathroom sliding door was broken. I had to manually push it open and close.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Mark Spencer Hotel. The room was clean and our expectations were met. A nice small cozy hotel located in Portland surrounded my cafes and restaurants-many options to choose from. We would definitely be coming back to the city and stay here again!!! 10/10 would highly recommend.

Amazing location, great size rooms and facilities. Very comfortable. The only thing I can fault it for is the mattress. It was on the softer side and you'd be dragged into the middle of the bed and I'm very light

Morgan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
I had a mediocre at best experience. First room I got was absolutely disgusting. Liquid (coffee or a dark soda) was spilled all down the wall. The bathroom was completely unacceptable and there were dead bugs. They did try to make it right by letting me move to a different room and crediting the first nights state. The second room was at least a bit better. Still subpar cleaning. Still had mold in the corners of the bathroom shower but at least this time it wasn’t in the area your feet touch. The sink wouldn’t drain properly so liquids just kept sitting in there. This also happened in the shower. There was also mascara on the mirror which is not a big deal but shows the housekeeping level. I also found it to be very cold in there because the windows aren’t air tight (just an old building thing) so I turned the heat on. They came in and did the housekeeping stuff while I was gone one day and changed the thermostat so it was freezing when I got back. I was a bit disappointed there wasn’t any food option in the hotel but that’s on me for not thinking to look at that when booking.
