Easy, hip and safe hotel

KEX is a great, central location and in a safe neighborhood. I was traveling solo for work and felt very comfortable. The hotel has a great restaurant/bar, sauna, and price options for all budget types. The hotel has a deal with Knot Springs, 1 block away, which I took advantage of.

We loved our stay! The room was very homey and comfortable, the atmosphere was very nice and welcoming. The front counter host, Mikey (not sure how to spell it) was very friendly and helpful and even gave us a complimentary upgrade to our room upon arrival!

This place is gorgeous. The rooms I will say are a bit small. BUT. The bathroom is pretty big. The beds were comfortable and clean. The restaurant downstairs was so good as well. Stay here for the vibe and the service

Loved it!

I was very impressed with KEX Portland! I booked a private queen room with a friend for a night, and we both loved it. The shared bathrooms were spotless and I had no hesitations using them. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind (and the food was delicious!!), and the decor was so cute. My expectations were exceeded- for the price point, KEX can't be beat. I'll be back in the future for sure.
