Unique, super cool boutique hotel with all the charms. Beautiful lobby, great restaurant, fantastic game room and gear room although we didn’t get to try any of the outdoor stuff due to inclement weather. We made s’mores in the evening and enjoyed happy hour in the bar. The rooms are so cute and the beds and pillows and bath products are spectacular. I always love and appreciate blackout drapes. It was a little hot in the room, but if you just turned the heat off, it cools down nicely. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again. We stayed here to go to the Portland Trailblazers game and it was very easy to take mass transit to and from the game.

A lot extra charges, but good hotel.
There are many hidden fees at this property that can be found on web site. The restaurant was great, and close to amenities. I wish we knew true costs when, booking dog friendly fee was 45, amenities fee 35 and parking 40.

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.

Pretty good 1st time stay
The hotel room was a nice stay, but there was a small spot on the bathroom wall that looked like it was developing a hole. Beds were comfortable. Parking lot was a bit cramped and the breakfast selections could have been better. To be fair, I'm used to being able to have waffles for continental breakfast. I was told that there were two complimentary bottles of water for the room, but I somehow was charged for the one I used. They worked with me on some of the hotel charges for payment so they were helpful on that. I'd consider staying there again if I were in Portland again. We'll see
