Mark Spencer Hotel
Downtown Portland
per person
Sep 29 - Oct 4
found 1 day ago
Roundtrip non-stop flight included
Tokyo (TYO) to Portland (PDX)
9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,639 reviews)
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.
