Stayed the weekend of Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band...and I am blown away by the atmosphere, the amazingly playful and knowledgeable staff, the comfort...and all for a price that makes me want to come and stay no place else! Everyone on the floor obviously loves to be there...morale is very high...the hotel is full of gorgeous and eclectic everything! You cannot beat Zeus' Cafe downstairs, open to serve us even at 2 am, with food that was heaven...best grassfed burger I have ever had, and the loveliest Caesar salad. If you are booking a show at the Ballroom, you must pair it with a room here. I will be back over and over and over again, as much as I can. In LOVE with the Crystal!!!
Went to stay over night for the Cold Play concert. our room was great and very comfortable. We had the room with two twin beds... we liked that we walk out and just be in the hart of down town Portland, to get something eat and drink.. I left my pants in the room and mailed to me with in a couple days. thank you very much to the girls at front desk, To make it a special night... can't wait come stay here again
Awesome place. Perfect location; central to a lot of places in the city that you can easily walk to, including the Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, etc. Stayed in the Decembrists room with a balcony and had really cool views. The food, beer and saltwater soaking pool are incredible! They also make homemade vinegar sodas which are delicious. Only piece of advice: if you are a light sleeper, use the earplugs that they provide and sleep with the AC on, otherwise you'll be woken up by an ungodly amount of garbage/recycling trucks throughout the night, every night. Seriously. Allllll night long. It's like recycling central on SW Stark St. :)
I had a magnificent stay mid-April 2018 - what a groovy place. Great staff, cool digs, the Zeus Cafe there for all your drink and food support AND a cool little soaking pool in the basement. This will be my go-to for ALL my future PDX adventures. A big thanks to the whole crew there:)
I’m not one to go to the same place for food multiple times on a vacation but we went for breakfast almost everyday! Everything we ate was a 10/10 and every single one of the service staff was so incredibly funny and nice! The drinks? Delicious. The food? Incredibly tasty. If you’re staying at the hotel make sure to get a drink at the bar before heading to the soaking pool!
An icon of Portland and on our radar since we moved here, Zeus Café did not disappoint us! The atmosphere inside is cute and cozy and ample outdoor space as well. We got there during happy hour wich had some great deals. Se started off with some beverages and the black and white fries. My partner had the chicken and waffles and I went with the Tillies turkey club. The service, the food, and the vibes were all on point and we will be back for sure.
I loved the thanksgiving meal here! Wonderful service and tasty food with a very unique interior. They also had a wonderful vegetarian thanksgiving meal option which tasted great!
Our server was a wonderful bright person. They were smiling and took our order quickly.
They had tap to pay which is amazing!
The food came out quick. There was not alot of choices on the menu but it was still really yummy.
I would go again.

The McMenamins Zeus Cafe is a swanky little kitchen/bar attached to the hotel with plenty of treats. Throughout my stay, I had a few items: yogurt with granola, a Bloody Mary, a gin and tonic, maple brussel sprouts, and a beer. Everything other than the Bloody Mary was to my liking. The granola and yogurt paired with fresh berries were a delight to consume, and despite it being a light breakfast pair, it got me through a groggy morning. The Bloody Mary had some unique garnishes, such as a tomato slice, a clove of garlic, and bell peppers, that failed to appetize, but the drink as a whole was solid. The maple brussel sprouts are some of the best I've had. I found the earthiness of the sprouts to be well-balanced by the sweetness of the maple dressing. All in all, I would return for more of their bites. I did find the prices a smidge too high to consider having a meal, given one's proximity to plenty of restaurants. However, the atmosphere and array of lounge rock music is a rustic delight to enjoy. Cheers!
The food I've tried is good, not necessarily great, but I do like the loaded tator tots.
Drinks are okay depending on who makes them. There is one bartender I'm not a fan of as he lacks the interaction a normal bartender comes by naturally.
Will I be back... Sure. Am I in a rush? Not really.
We came for a complimentary breakfast package. The staff was very friendly and the environment in the morning is different in a good way! I'm not usually a breakfast or morning person. We ordered the breakfast burrito and eggs benedict and they were both delicious! I highly recommend taking the time for breakfast as it's quite worth it!
We were here with our 2 young kids. We were greeted by our server with a warm smile. The server gave us a table away from the crowd so that our kids won't disturb other people. We felt really comfortable sitting at that table where we don't need to constantly remind our kids to lower their voices. The server also gave our kids some crayons so my 3 years old kid have something to do.
The food was really good, both my husband and I enjoyed our food. Our kids enjoyed their food too.
The service was exceptional, food was amazing, and the restaurant is kids friendly (Kids menu, high chairs, change table in BOTH washrooms). We will definitely come again if we have a chance.
Great place to eat and an oasis in downtown Portland! Easy accessible parking in a garage that doesn't overcharge for the day. They recently renamed the restaurant to Hal's Cafe.
Service took a little long but I would say that’s pretty typical of McMenamins in general. Our server was very apologetic and kind.The Black and White fries, cheese pizza, bread plate, side salad, cheese plate, Brie sauce tots with pork belly, steak salad, cheesecake, coconut cake and coffee was what we ordered. The fries and the steak salad got the best response at my table. The coconut cake was the most disappointing with delicious cream cheese frosting but it was a bit dry. For drinks I highly recommended the amaretto sour with extra cherries and blackberry cider.
