Great room. Love parking right next to the building. Amazing food, drinks, and social scene at the restaurant downstairs. Super walkable neighborhood with dive bars, coffee shops, and lots of restaurant options.
Great hotel, it was my 2nd visit. I especially like the basement sauna.
I liked that there is a bike storage area, though you need to be able to lift your bike above your head to hang it on the hook.
They did seem short-staffed, though I think that’s true for most hotels these days. Everyone who was there was really kind and helpful.
KEX is a very clean, no frills hotel/hostel in Portland with a fantastic lobby and bar. The food was inventive, fresh and tasty. Good cocktails, and even better service....just enough attention to get what I wanted and plenty of space to just enjoy the scene.
We loved KEX Portland! Such a unique spot with beautiful retro decor. The front desk guy Jermaine was awesome, so friendly and helpful. Walkable to restaurants and breweries. Would def stay again!
I love staying here, it's affordable and the beds are comfy. I omly wish the bathroom had a fan (to vent out steam and smells), and some of the bunks didn't have their storage drawer blocked off.
This was my second stay at KEX, why look further? It's entire vibe is chill and inviting. Love meeting friends for dinner/drinks downstairs. Every room type to suit a variety of stays/price points. I look forward to my next stay.
Staff was fantastic and very helpful
Air conditioning was fine, room was actually a little cold (and the heat stayed up towards the top.)
Didn't stop by the bar.
KEX was an awesome place to stay! The sauna was great and the lobby restaurant, Pacific Standard, was super impressive. Gorgeous lobby/restaurant! The staff were super nice and accommodating.
