Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was clean. The amenities were outstanding. The outdoor courtyard and firepits were a hit. You get access to an entire gym across the street. Beware that Expedia mentions a Desitnation Fee charge, but the hotel calls the charge a Guest Amenities Fee. You are getting charged for all of the amenities, so be sure to use all of them. Some other notes. Parking is expensive, and any VIP credit is only good for one night. The breakfast doesn’t have many options if you have dietary restrictions. (e.g., gluten-free options), so be prepared to dine elsewhere if you have dietary restrictions.

We used to love coming to the zag. The staff used to be wonderful and friendly where they would ask us about our stay. What brings you to Portland? And you should check out this place. The person checking us in was cold and not friendly at all straight business. This would also be the first time there wasn't a coffee machine in the room of any hotel I've stayed at. Was informed at check out we could've requested one at check in but they don't keep them in the rooms anymore due to people stealing them. And not sure why plastic sheeting on the carpet where you get off the elevator.

Staff were wonderful but hotel was cold and uncomfortable. Cost for parking was absolutely ridiculous… it cost me equal to the car rental to park. Unsafe shower/bathtub set up. Now others in my group didn’t have the same problem with shower however we were all cold throughput the building. Strange since we are Colorado people and cold isn’t an issue. Trying not to whine but a very disappointing stay…

The vibes at this hotel are amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, cozy and inviting spots to sit and hang out everywhere you look. The rooms were spotless and appealing. My only negatives were: no coffee maker in the room, no locks on the bathroom door, and the breakfast pastries were pretty stale. But the price and location was right and I'll definitely stay here again!
