Perfect location and super star staff

Gold star service at every turn. We checked in late, stopped by the desk after our event and again at check out. Every staff member was courtesy personified. The DIY s'mores are the best way to end the evening. The location of the hotel is fantastic for PSU and the Keller Auditorium events. The style was spot on and that courtyard...perfect for a catch up with friends or wind down before bed. Definitely staying here again. The only downside is, when booking through hotels.com, there is a mysterious "destination fee" and at the hotel and additional "amenities fee". No bueno.

We’ve stayed here twice for shows at the Keller and the facility and staff are so focused on making the time feel a bit extra special all the time. My wife and I felt like Lyle and Damian genuinely wanted our trip to be as good as possible and that is hard to do when you work in hospitality! Lu’kas went above and beyond unloading luggage! We recommend the Zags to everyone.

Great stay. Make sure to ask about parking within the facility; it is an additional cost. “Free breakfast” is charged as part of the amenities fee, and it’s so so (coffee, small muffins, bagels, yogurt, hard boiled eggs) However, the property location and price compensates. Will definitely book again.

Great location. Can walk downtown, performong-arts centers, the waterfront, and to PSU. Small room, beds were ok but pillows were hard as rocks. Breakfast was not great. Packaged hardboiled eggs and some bagels, toast, oatmeal, and yogurt. Weren't offered the complimentary water or 24-hour Futness passes and werent allowed in the gane room. Will explore other options next time in Portland.
