Very fun yet quiet stay

We had a great stay at Hotel Zags. I arrived exhausted and they were so kind. We ended up on a floor with a barking dog, and they upgraded us to an amazing room that was super quiet. The lobby is so fun, and we took a board game upstairs. The kids found plenty to eat at breakfast and spent the morning on video games, beanbag toss, and hanging in the patio while I worked. We didn't stay long enough to take advantage of the other items to sign out, and these amenities were in the price, but the location was great and we felt we got our money's worth. I would warn that parking in the tiny spots was tough for me with a giant 4wd rental car for the mountains, but they were kind enough to help me sort it out. I'm so glad I skipped my nearby conference hotel for Hotel Zags.

Wonderful hotel

Hotel is great staff is great. Was disappointed parking was $40 a night. Maybe that's normal but was disappointed all the same. Have stayed here twice before and it was free both times. Had been our preferred hotel but now we are wavering.

We stayed for 2 nights. The location seems safe and the hotel has onsite parking for a fee. The room was nicely decorated with a comfortable bed. The bathroom had a urine odor and the toilet seat was too small for the toilet. There rust stains on the wall - the bathroom was not great. We enjoyed the s’mores - breakfast was nothing more than bagels, boiled eggs, and hotel-grade coffee. We’ve had better breakfasts at cheaper hotels.
