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.

Great downtown location but that was it. Charged extra $40 to park. Charged $30 for continental breakfast that was the worst I’ve had in over 40 years of business and personal travel. Hard bagels, cold cereal and hard boiled eggs and the coffee was full of grounds. The room was ok but the bathroom had mold all around the tub and the sink wouldn’t drain. See photos.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Zags - the staff were delightful, the hotel was lovely, quiet, clean and in a great location that was very walkable. Would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable stay that’s maybe not right in the thick of the DT hustle but still very central.

I booked this hotel specifically for their advertised electric vehicle charging stations included for guests. I made a 5 hour long drive for the stay, arriving to find out that the chargers were not available due to giving parking space to large tour busses instead. They offered chargers in the basement garage ($40/night) only to find out the charger was broken. I had only 1 day in Portland and I ended up spending hours of it waiting for my car to charge (and paying for the charge as well instead of the cost I had planned to include in my overall hotel stay).
