Top Southwest Portland Hotel Reviews

Mark Spencer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at the Mark Spencer for 3 nights and was overall happy with the stay! I've stayed at different hotels in Portland before and was happy with how close this was to Pearl district and areas I wanted to visit frequently. It's an older hotel and doesn't have too many amenities, it's cozy, but wouldn't say it was a 'cool and fun' hotel if that is what you're looking for. The hotel is clean, bed comfortable, and staff is very friendly and helpful. Close to Pearl district, Powells books, and a lot of awesome restaurants and coffee shops. If you like the price and just need a nice room in a nice hotel with good staff then go for it. If you're looking for a hotel with vibes, is hip and awesome designs - you can find that somewhere else."
