3 Stars Hotels in North Portland, Portland from CA $124

"The hotel was undergoing renovations, but this did not affect our stay at all. Our room was obviously newly renovated. It was beautiful and the beds were incredibly uncomfortable. Also, the shuttle from the airport and then back to the airport to pick up our car rental, went without a hitch. The staff was very polite and helpful. We just stayed the night, but it was very enjoyable."

"Some of the First floor rooms feel like you are in the basement"

"This hotel had a great location a block from a very nice riverfront paved walkway that went on for at least 3 miles. The room was large but in need of an update. The shower was large with great water pressure. The free breakfast was very nice and covered all the food groups. This hotel has NO onsite parking. We parked across the street for $24.00 overnight. I would stay at this hotel again."

"Room was clean. Check in was easy but we got no information about the Continental breakfast or hours of the amenities. The restaurant wasn't what we expected. There is no wait staff, instead you order at the bar and they page you when your order is ready. Complimentary drinks were nice. Great location for attending events at the Expo Center."

"The airport shuttle was great"

"Hotel was a relatively clean place to sleep and cleaning staff were pleasant. Physical condition of hotel needs work. Our key cards needed to be reset 4-5 different times because they randomly got demagnetized. Door to our room was physically difficult to open. Outdoor access door was supposed to be a card key entry, but they did not actually lock. Anyone could open the door from the outside. Front door staff were not attentive, carried on side conversations while checking us in and did not effectively address our key card concerns. "

"The Mark Spencer is not what it was. We have stayed here I think four times and the most recent visit likely will be our last. First kudos to the staff for being solicitous and very helpful. However our room was not cleaned well. We found an old soap wrapper in the bathroom, some lost headphones under the bed, and a spent coffee packet in the coffee maker filter basket. We didn't dare use any of the mugs or glasses in the room, some of which were visible dirty. Apparently the booking included a bottle of wine, which no one offered us. We didn't miss it but the principle of the matter is indicative. The breakfast options were nice to have but would have been better if the advertised fresh fruit had been available. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast sandwich but received it on an English muffin instead of the requested croissant. Not a huge deal but again, indicative of the attention being paid to details. Top notch drip coffee from Peru and a very good espresso helped. From check in to check out the staff uniformly were helpful and courteous. John greeted us out front upon arrival and when he learned that we were running late he most graciously helped us get our bags to our room, as we had to park across the street due to the garage being full. Easy parking which was nice. It saddens me to see what was a home-away-from-home fail to meet the standards we used to appreciate at this handsome old hotel."

"Bathroom fan didn't work and bathroom sink was slow to drain. Room would be fine for a single person, but not a family."
