Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was great, we got an upgrade and the space was lovely. Truly one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever stayed in. It is in a great location downtown - close to Powells bookstore, Stumptown coffee, dive bars, ramen, sushi, etc. 10/10 would stay here again

The room was a bit rough. It's an older hotel room in an apartment complex. The shower head was leaking and when asked to repair was replaced with a shower head that sprayed right at my face and couldn't be lowered. They transferred rooms for me, which was nice. Loud construction one night on the street from 2am to 6am. It was a comfortable bed, thought.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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

convenient location

Good location. We have stayed here before, but this time it felt a bit grungier. The courtyard had trash and the hallways needed a good vacuuming. Last time we stayed it was fine, maybe just a one-off. It's a very convenient location to train, park, and downtown.
