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.

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.
