The staff seemed cheerful and professional and the hotel appears to have the bones of a classy place, but the mattress was terrible and the only view from my room was into the bottom of a very deep light well.

Mark Spencer is a century old hotel which maintains the highlights of bygone eras in premium condition. The facilities have been upgraded and maintained without loss of style and class. The rooms are large and comfy, with interesting configutations. The marble bathroom harkened back to the 1920s. Bedding and towels were pristinely white and fluffy. Late afternoon wine tasting in the comfortable lounge encouraged happy chatter with other patrons. For an added fee you can securely park your car in the basement parking lot. Lots of restaurants and shopping within a few blocks, and a short walk to museums and concert hall. Trolly runs outside front door.

It's a beautiful old building in downtown Portland, flowers on all the window sill, and a beautiful garden outdoors to sit and relax in. The actual room was a tad dated. fridge didn't work, and the room had a musty smell. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly,overall id recommend

Unfortunately the heat pump malfunctioned, so the room was very cold. I notified the staff, who were extremely accommodating, and changed our room. Easy waking access to all of downtown.
