Incredibly clean and unique amenities are available. If you're in Portland for leisure or work, please consider staying here. Near a lot of great restaurants and not too far from the airport either. Many stores and spots are within a few minutes of walking too. Special shoutout to Mary (evening shift I believe) and the young girl in the mornings (forgot her name - she's from Florida where I live). They both were incredibly helpful to me and my colleagues while we stayed. Given our positive feedback, I think our boss is going to have the three of us stay there again in a few months when we return for more work. Looking forward to it.

Room Tip: Don't drive in bus lanes and learn how to navigate a downtown area. My coworkers had a few laughs...

The hotel was nice the parking garage not so much. Our bed was comfortable. The bathroom needs some updating, the toilet seat looks like it’s been on there since they opened the hotel and the shower head once could adjust the water pressure put now only has the one setting and it was rusted a little. The bedding and towels were crispy white not a stain on them. I would definitely stay again maybe in another room. Even though we were only there to sleep for a few hours and to take a shower. We did notice ice cold water near the reception desk.

This might be the Goldilocks zone for downtown Portland. It's in a great location for the rate with reasonable parking, and it has a lot of really cool amenities. I especially liked the free passes to use the gym right next to it.

Bed was comfortable and the room was quiet and clean. Lots of equipment to borrow, although we didn't. It is a good location for attending an event at Keller Auditorium. It is an easy walk to Saturday Market and Waterfront Park.

We reserved connecting rooms months in advance and arrived late. Upon arrival the rooms were not cleaned (supposedly they were not planning to clean those rooms that night). We had to not only wait a long time but found a dirty used sock in between the sheets.

This place is beautiful, clean and centrally located near all public transportation. They have gym access and $15 of complimentary snacks. There is also a beautiful outdoor seating area. They also have a restaurant, game room, and sports equipment that we didn’t utilize during this trip. Unfortunately, they do not offer a laundry service, but they do have dry cleaning. The staff was very friendly and helpful during our visit.

Hotel Zags is hip, comfortable, with pleasant, helpful staff and good food in the restaurant, and a good value. The rooms were very nice, and I especially liked the reading lights implanted in the headboard. The downside is that the bookkeeping software and the hotel website were at odds. We booked through the hotel's website, yet the invoice didn't reflect what we were promised. The lovely staff took efforts to correct the bill, but it shouldn't be that hard.
