"Great stay!"

10.0

Everything! It was very clean and centrally located.

I enjoyed the property very much! Parking can be a bit difficult and pricey but that has nothing to do with the property just be prepared to search. The staff were also very helpful with advising about parking.

I like the location, close to downtown, easy access. Walkable area.

Shared bathrooms got a bit dirty quickly without daily cleaning

"Cozy vibes, beautiful space, great bed"

9.0

I love the welcoming vibes of Kex. The lobby is luminous and a great place to relax during the day, and becomes animated with a great bar with delicious bites at night. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Bed is VERY comfortable and there are no chemical fragrances in the building. Windows open for some fresh air. The photo booth is a nice touch. Location is nice, close to buses and some cool thrifting. Windows do a good job of keeping the room quiet.

The shower pressure isn't the best, but it is sufficient. While opening the windows is a nice feature sometimes there will be people smoking right underneath which is a bummer. I love this hotel but what I don't understand is why the chair in the room is the wrong fit for both the table and the desk! I wish I could work in my room but it's just not really possible.

"Our stay was really great! Convenient location so we just walked everywhere. Will definitely stay here again and have al"

10.0

Clean. comfortable quiet great location for the game Jen and Christian, were helpful, friendly and caring. Jen greeted us with a smile and helped us with parking. They have a hopping bar and the best Guinness outside of Ireland. The bartenders were efficient and friendly and serve great drinks. A nice little kitchen for evening meals. Weโ€™re definitely staying at KEX when we return to Portland.

Itโ€™s not a breakfast area.

It was beautifully designed and laid out. Everything was pretty centrally located and easy to secure rides from.

Nothing that comes to mind really.

Itโ€™s simple and friendly nicely located and has a gym plus the front desk staff weโ€™re very accommodating. They went out of their way to make my stay easy and special. Oh yeah, I almost forgot it has a sauna a good one.

Nothing worth writing home to complain about. One manโ€™s pet peeve is another manโ€™s passion. Happy and sad. Itโ€™s an older building well renovated, and yet its imperfections provide its charm .
