It is downtown in a good area for dining and walking. The famous Powell’s Bookstore is nearby. It is a classic hotel. Unfortunately, the economics of providing parking in the downtown environment requires that they charge $30/day extra to park your car. The mattress on our bed was very saggy in the middle, but I saw stacks of new mattresses in the basement car garage ready to be installed. I assume the problem will be taken care of shortly.

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.
