KEX Portland

Simple room and amenities. Wonderful relaxing lobby, restaurant, bar and fantastic staff.

It was nice, the drinks were very pleasant, I liked the Boilermaker option on the happy hour

What a wonderful experience. We loved the vibe of the hotel. Jazzy, calm, and relaxing. Very much not like the typical hotel chains.

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.

I tried to store my valuables in my assigned security drawer, but it was blocked by another set of bunks. I didn't even deal with this nonsense in the military, which should say something to these people. Get it together, kids.

The staff were very inconsistent with my stay. I had a one bedroom and in a day was moved to a bunk room of four for no reason. So I went from 314 to 313 and had to pay fee after fee. Even though I was still the same resident from Tues through friday. They are not consistent, made me move rooms and made it apparent I’d have to leave my luggage with them before checkin. This had not occurred since I stayed at the hotel.

I got there and had to pay an incidentals fee that was higher than I was told it would be when I booked, then the blue haired gentlemen that was at the front desk said “you won’t find any place without a deposit”, I said yes but I’m rooming with 16 other people. He seemed bothered during our whole interaction. Then in the middle of the night I was woken up to a flash light in my face saying that I was in the wrong bunk. Okay, so you wake me up to say that and that’s it. There were empty bunks everywhere, I found this interaction to be so rude. I must have read the bunk card wrong, the blue hair gentleman told me that I couldn’t get a bottom bunk and the room would be full, so I got a top bunk only to be woken up to be told I made a mistake. The staff was extremely rude and pretentious, not helpful and I would never go back.

I liked the staff. I wish it was consistent with my extending of my stay. It was different at the end from the beginning.
