Artsy hipster amazing vibe hotel

It was amazing. Early check in available and the front desk personnel was 10 out of 10. The place is beautiful/gorgeous. They have s’mores from 7-8 with high quality graham crackers and Hershey chocolates yum. Patio is calming and beautiful. Very artsy inside and the room was beautiful. I’m booking another stay now. I go to Portland very often this will definitely be my new place.

I stayed here with a friend in the beginning of May for an event in downtown Portland. We were here for a couple days, and it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. The room (the bathroom more specifically) had a few issues in the wallpaper and things like that, but that would never steer me from a place. The staff were very nice and helpful. Not any complaints there. I liked that breakfast was included, but I’m not sure it was worth it. On our checkout day we ended up going out for breakfast, which I love to do anyways in Portland, they have great spots. It was just disappointing, lackluster. The rooms don’t have any HVAC so we were either freezing or hot whenever we were in the room, and I never figured out the window. My main issue out of the whole stay was when my friend got to the hotel, she used their parking and I did not. We got the pass and everything, but they never disclosed that parking would be an extra $40 a night for that (found out after leaving on my receipt). That seems like something you would want to be up front about, as well as your amenity fees. An amenity fee should be built into the cost of the room if you anticipate people using them, and if they don’t, then they shouldn’t be charged. This was my first time staying here, not sure if I would come back honestly, unless I was in a pinch. I do wish this place the best, and the people who work here, because they were all very lovely and kind and I would never fault the staff for things they cannot control.

The staff were amazing! Arcade games in the lobby and tons of things to borrow. It was different than any place I have stayed at. The rooms were clean but could have been nicer. The overall experience is why I gave it a 5 Star.

Very fun yet quiet stay

We had a great stay at Hotel Zags. I arrived exhausted and they were so kind. We ended up on a floor with a barking dog, and they upgraded us to an amazing room that was super quiet. The lobby is so fun, and we took a board game upstairs. The kids found plenty to eat at breakfast and spent the morning on video games, beanbag toss, and hanging in the patio while I worked. We didn't stay long enough to take advantage of the other items to sign out, and these amenities were in the price, but the location was great and we felt we got our money's worth. I would warn that parking in the tiny spots was tough for me with a giant 4wd rental car for the mountains, but they were kind enough to help me sort it out. I'm so glad I skipped my nearby conference hotel for Hotel Zags.

Wonderful hotel

Hotel is great staff is great. Was disappointed parking was $40 a night. Maybe that's normal but was disappointed all the same. Have stayed here twice before and it was free both times. Had been our preferred hotel but now we are wavering.
