I ended up at the Mark Spencer hotel, which is evidently connected to the hotel that I was originally booked at.
The Mark Spencer hotel was outstanding in accommodations, in staff, in musical happy hour, in location, in answering questions, in fixing a very minor problem.All in all very terrific!!

The location is fine if you need to be in downtown. It’s close to shops, coffee, and entertainment. The check In was fine and the staff was friendly. The room is small, and the bathroom is terrible. The shower hight is about 4’4’’, the toilet struggled to flush, and a bad urine smell never stopped seeping through the pipes. The kitchen was fine for a short term stay. Over all I’m glad my stay was short.

This was a great option for a budget stay right in downtown Portland. The building was secure, well maintained, and I loved having a full sized refrigerator and freezer. Portland is very walkable, and there good options for groceries, eating out, pharmacy, and of course, a multitude of coffee shops. Just a few blocks from the lightrail makes this location convenient for many of Portland’s attractions. Staff was friendly and accomodating!

I got a great deal through Hotels.com, and honestly I was a little skeptical at first because I expected hidden charges or a surprise “resort fee” like the $35/day fee I had to pay at Hotel Zags in downtown Portland. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case here at all.
The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The front desk staff were also very helpful and allowed me to store my e-scooter in the storage area where a charging outlet was available, which I really appreciated.
Thank you to the entire team for the great experience. I will definitely stay here again.

stayed here for 1 night and had a great experience. check-in/out was easy with friendly staff.
on site parking is available for a fee but is limited due to a small lot; is located across the actual building but wasn’t hard to navigate to.
we booked the 1 bed-studio and it included a full functional kitchen with cutting board, utensils, etc.
only issue we had was with the blow dryer which wasn’t working and the phone, which wasn’t plugged in so we tried finding the cord but could not locate the plug due to it being stuck under the tv stand/drawer.
there is also a nearby convenience store (walking distance)
during the night, my friend did step outside, right in front of the gate to get some fresh air and someone (male, intoxicated) who lived in the apartment, would not leave her alone and kept asking her questions about which unit she lived in and for how long. the male did live in the building as he had a fob to enter but the situation did make her feel uncomfortable which she had told the male and he still continued with asking questions, so just be cautious
overall, good experience!

Okay, this place was way better than what I expected. You have to check in at the Mark Hotel since this is technically an apartment building, but that is okay.

Honestly, you get an apartment for the price you pay. I actually requested the least expensive room and was execting to slum it, but nope! I had a full bathroom, bedroom with TV extra room AKA dining room, which is probably technically the beddroom in the partments. You also get a full kitchen with a full refrigerator. Again, this is an apartment. Very clean. The building is gated so you need a code to get in. That code opens the main door at the same time. I made the mistake of forgetting the code so even if I had gotten into the courtyard, my key would not work on the door so REMEMBER your code! Of course you can go to the Mark Hotel and they'll take care of you.

Overall, it was a nice place and worth more than what I paid.

It was in the low 50's in Portland and I walked into my room to find a window open, with the portable A.C. vented out the window and the rest of the open window uncovered. No heat was on and there was no thermostat to adjust nor instructions for heat. It was frigid!

I called the front desk, only to be passed to the manager who interrupted me, talked over me, and was quite rude. He did explain the heaters were on the baseboard, though, which I'd not seen before.

I asked for an extra blanket and a space heater which staff brought hours later.

There was also an issue with the room key not allowing access to the building front door, so staff had to come and then a renter finally let me in.

Be prepared to lug your luggage up several stairs to check in at the hotel ftont desk, with no instructions to enter the side door to use the elevator.

Stayed 2 nights at the Washington Plaza Apartments ran by Mark Spencer Hotel. The apartment I booked with 2 others appeared like it hadn’t been vacuumed or properly cleaned. There was grime and hair on the bathroom floor, and no extra bedding (sheets, blanket) for the sofa bed/couch. Although, there was an extra blanket in the closet that clearly hadn’t been washed. Luckily, I had brought my own sheet and blanket, and we made do with what we had. There were also a pair of used socks found tucked in the sofa bed from whom I assume had previously booked the room. But we all got past it. Overall, the stay was good, I wasn’t expecting it to be anything special considering the price and the fact that we only needed the room to sleep. Great location, it felt safe. The staff was very kind and helpful as far as checking in and checking out goes. So with all being said, I would still consider staying again if need be. It’s a humble, old apartment building and you really can’t beat the location or price for a weekend stay.

Only giving three stars because it was affordable for us and clean, and close to some nice shops and restaurants. You have to walk around to the opposite side of the block, to a separate hotel, to check in and check out. We had no idea. Also our curtains didn't work so we couldn't close them for privacy and sleep. And the shower sprays up water at the ceiling while the toilet makes noise non stop. Location is scary too and I didn't feel safe walking in dark with all the people doing dru*s and shouting on the street

The front desk is exceptional. Some of my issues are the fact that check-in is not the same place that you stay, so the first time can be confusing.

They also do not give you a key to the stairs, so you have to take the elevator (which shakes rather violently).

First I have to have to say that the manager of the Mark Spencer (which is the hotel handling Washington Plaza bookings) was amazing! His name is Alex and he is absolutely the best! I switched rooms at WP after one night due to my first one being dirty (crumbs all over kitchen counters/table/floor, microwave filthy, hair on my towels and all over bathroom, bathmat was stained and wet). He personally guided me to my choice of a new room. I picked a different room as at first glance it seemed ok. However, it was in serious need of updating/repair/maintenance. Walls and carpet in bad shape (looked like poop stains on carpet - maybe someone brought their dog?), one light in bathroom burned out, microwave and fridge were filthy, hair on my towels and bedding, kitchen floor not mopped. I have to say the bed was super comfy though. Unfortunately, I won’t be staying here again even though location is very convenient.

1/2 step of from a hostel. Checked out early.

This place was old and run down. The kitchenette was poorly stocked with old dishes; one of the 2 coffee cups looks to have stained with 20+ years of use. The microwave button kept getting stuck/would not latch. The furniture was old and very well worn. The AC unit was very loud, did not allow the (broken) blinds to be closed. There are not curtains over the mismatched blinds= no way to block out light. The bathroom, which you needed to step up 4 inches into, was gross and NOT CLEAN. I cleaned the sink area of black and brown filth. The sink was not actually attached to the vanity. The shower curtain and toilet seat both had what looked like burn marks on them? The shower did make me feel tall as I had to squat to rinse my hair - I’m only 5’9. The carpet at MINIMUM needs a deep clean. I figured I could make it work for my trip, however, I checked out early. I should have known my stay wouldn’t go well with the rude attitude I received at check in.

At the very last moment, they managed to turn a five-star review into a one-star by illegally evicting me after 60 days of continuous residency.

The best part of my stay was the staff & service as they were polite and helpful. The elevator and the room itself both felt outdated. The room could have been more clean. There were random hairs in the restroom sink and on the mat. I wasn’t a fan of the smell in the room as it smelled outdated as well. I appreciated the AC in there, but it was the worst thing in terms of noise. It sounded as if the window was open all night so I could hear absolutely everything going on outside and got very little sleep as I’m a light sleeper. The AC also felt like it was turning off too often no matter the temperature so I felt hot throughout the night and normally I run cold. Overall, not the best stay and I’m unsure if I’ll return as the price was low, but so was the quality.
