The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were spotless with beautiful tile work which you will appreciate. Just an all around amazing experience for me while I stayed at KEX. The hotel staff were amazing and always helpful, and made you feel like your were a friend instead of a guest. An all around great hotel you should try next time you’re in Portland.

This is a hostel with private rooms. I might have missed that while booking, but don’t think it was clearly labeled. It’s a nice place and good location if you’re going to the convention or Moda center, but just know what you’re booking.

Great hotel in Portland. It was perfect for our family of 5. We had a room with two bunk beds and one queen. We had our own bathroom. Comfortable beds and linens. Parking was easy. We found a spot right across the street. The hotel was clean and not cookie cutter which we loved. The bar downstairs was so cool. Great cocktails and music. Helpful staff. Would recommend.

An amazing hotel in the heart of Portland. Very cozy art deco atmosphere, an amazing lobby lounge, with a great little menu to satisfy your hunger, and a great drink menu to satisfy your thirst. KEX Portland is one of those hotels where you come back to time and time again when you visit this amazing city. It truly feels like a home away from home, and you just want to be here when you’re not busy running around town. It feels like home, so why not stop in for a drink or bite to eat, and stay awhile. I guarantee, you’re gonna love it.

Fun and funky vibes. The bar downstairs has great snacky foods. The rooms are clean and the majorly separated bathrooms is pleasant when with others. I adore this hotel and have stayed many times over the years. Parking is a nightmare amongst itself so prepare yourself for that and the walk that will come with it if driving here yourself. That’s not something the hotel has anything to do with though. Lots of scooters to ride around the town readily available on the hotels block.
