KEX in the city

We really enjoyed the KEX, but the room we had was quite small (and we had an en-suite bathroom which not all rooms have). Other than that, the location was excellent, the staff were friendly, and it was very walk-able. Great neighborhood to stay in and a short walk from downtown Portland.

This hotel has a great vibe. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and I loved the unique refurbished decorative elements. I stayed here with a group of teenaged girls, and the family room was perfect.

I've lived in Portland for 12 years, and now when I visit (having tried a dozen hotels here) this is the only place I'll stay. It's comfortable, has an old-world charm, and the staff is terrific.
