Hotel zag is a great hotel. Centrally located transportation right out. Front parking available. Underground parking staff is always nice. Restaurant staff could be better. Came on a night when there was a concert in town and unfortunately it was pretty understaffed in the bar and front desk and those poor kids were running their tails off but they were great. They were wonderful. Always loved the front desk kids. They're awesome. Amazing. You'll always have a good time at Hotel zags it's clean. It's fun. It's great you can rent skateboards and all kinds of crazy stuff. So it's it's really a neat place.... Bar was a little frustrating. Had to wait in a very long line just to get glassware for my room and was met with a bit of an attitude but understood because the bartender was so low. They really should not pinch the pennies when it comes to making sure that the front and the bar is staffed regardless of the day a week because Portland has always got something going on

When we arrived we were told we had to pay an amenity/resort fee when our Expedia booking claimed everything was included. It is what it is but what bothered us is upon entering the room the room smelled like old carpet, our mini fridge was dirty, our sheets had stains even though they were washed so we didn’t use them, another thing is our booking allegedly had a city view but all our view was the building to the side of us. The front desk/restaurant areas were nice yeah but once you get up to the rooms you can tell it’s just an older hotel/motel with new furniture.

Really nice hotel with excellent room in a convenient location. The room and hallway were very warm, 78 degrees, and when I turned on the air conditioning it shot up to 80. We turned it off and slept with the window open which cooled us off but was noisy. We were told individual hvac units are being installed which would make it a delightful hotel.

The hotel was in a convenient location. We were able to transit and walk everywhere. We loved that there was a games room for when we just wanted a quiet lowkey night. The S’mores in the evenings were a really nice surprise as well! Paid self-parking was underground with an entrance gate that the staff controls, so it felt really secure. The only downsides of our stay was the HEAT in the room. It was blowing out hot air even when we had set it to the lowest setting (65°F/ 18.5°C). At one point our room was at 83°F/ 28°C, which made a very uncomfortable sleep. Thankfully, there was a window we could open and the neighborhood was quiet enough for us to just have that open throughout the night and turned the fan/ AC/ heat unit off. It was the beginning of November, so the weather was still pretty mild. The shower head pressure is a really weird, and water temperature was really hard to figure out, but other than that. We enjoyed our stay a lot! Staff was really friendly and helpful! Continental breakfast was convenient and the coffee there was really good! Will likely be back if we were to visit Portland again.
