$35 a day to park my car in the garage or on the street is a bit high in my opinion. Just an FYI. Is it a "deal breaker"? Maybe for someone who stays more that 2 days. I'd look elsewhere to save over $100 in parking fees.

Initially I booked this because I’m an Expedia gold member. They falsely advertised a free bottle of wine and possible upgrade. When I got there the attendants were unaware “allegedly” all I’m going to say is that for the price it’s okay. The hotel was not expensive and I should have known better. Just don’t let the free perks stir you to book the hotel. They are intentionally advertising something they won’t give you. That’s my 2 cents…

The area was perfect! Powell’s books/Shake Shack/Coffee shops were all within 5 minutes walking distance. really good sushi place next to the hotel. There is homeless closer to china town & at night we saw a couple but i feel like that’s every downtown area. The parking was $32 a night but it’s in a closed garage which made me feel safe. The actual room seemed old/outdated but the location was perfect & for the price it was good.

Meh.
Pros - Convenient location. Great shops and restaurants nearby. - Comparable onsite garage parking fees - Good size room for the suite we booked with a kitchen - Good customer service during one night where I phoned the front desk about an issue Cons - The place is a bit dated for my liking - Shower took quite some time for the water to heat up - Day 4 (Sat) of our stay. Upon our return in the afternoon, the room reeked of a sewage smell. We instantly opened the windows and went down to the lobby to notify the front desk immediately and they caught an attitude with my husband when he asked if they needed anything else from us while we stood there waiting for a response. They did inform us that all the rooms were booked and we were waiting on them to tell us they would send maintenance to check on it. But we just stood there in silence while they were checking for available rooms (even though they just said they were fully booked). Instead, I asked if they can send someone to at least check it out while we’re gone. They said yes. But the whole interaction was annoying af. Came back and a different rep told us they sent someone to check it but couldn’t provide me any updates as they just started their shift but the hotel did put a room on hold for us just in case the smell didn’t go away. Luckily it did. This whole experience was off putting as I’ve never experienced sewage smell in a hotel room and I travel a lot for work and leisure.

Quirky & Clean
My wife and I enjoyed staying at the Mark Spencer. It was kinda quirky. The shower had a half door which aim still trying to figure out. The guest parking in the garage was interesting to say the least. If you have a car bigger than a matchbox, you need to be patient getting in and out of parking spots. They’re quite small. The room was clean which is most important. The beds are comfortable but squishy, probably ready to be upgraded. Overall it suited out needs, and we’d stay there again.
