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.

The bathroom ceiling was falling apart. There were a lot of surprise charges on my bill. Parking is $40 per night not per stay. The breakfast is pretty basic and fine if you can eat gluten. The access to the 24hour service was great and free pinball is always fun!

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!

The free breakfast could have a slightly better offer in terms of variety. I understand and appreciate that it is free however if you offer it should have a bit more variety. The room was good but could hear a lot of noise from the room next to us and above us
