The Hotel Zags Portland

Very good

Superb

Had a memorable time in...

Liked: Loved so many things about this place. The first thing that got my attention in this hotel was their patio with fireplace. The location is great with close proximity to so many downtown locations. The overall ambience of the hotel was so cool, room was clean, bed was amazing and the daily smores in the evening by the fireplace in the patio was so relaxing. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast being included saved a lot of time and effort in planning the day properly. Parking was a bit pricey in the hotel but we managed to find alternate free/cheaper options with street side parking. Additionally, they have so many items such as bikes, scooters, beach chairs, picnic blankets and so many others to rent for free based on your needs.
Disliked: Bathroom tub and shower in our room were not that great. Not that bad to request a room change though

Exceptional

Disliked: Nothing could have been better.

The hotel had everything we...

Liked: When we first arrived at the hotel, we weren’t impressed with the position in town — it didn’t quite match our expectations and we questioned our choice. But as we settled in, things started to shift. The location turned out to be ideal, the room was clean and comfortable and the on-site facilities were much better than we’d anticipated. Rose was very knowledgeable at the front desk, the restaurant served up great food, the complimentary breakfast was generous and well done and little touches like the kids area, free hire of equipment, complimentary S’mores by the firepit and the relaxed happy hour added a real sense of charm. What really changed everything, though, was the painting event hosted by Srhawn on Saturday. It wasn’t just an activity — it created a real atmosphere of fun, creativity and community. By the end of our stay, what started as a questionable choice had completely transformed into one of our most memorable and enjoyable getaways. Thank you Srhawn and the team at Hotel Zags.
Disliked: The only downside to our stay was having to leave — everything was so comfortable, welcoming and well thought-out that we genuinely didn’t want our stay to end.
