Very easy location for walking and taking transit. There was a massive pile of poop on the sidewalk right outside the hotel, which was probably not the ambiance you’re going for. I did appreciate the lobby bar was inviting and lively (unfortunately, we did not have a chance to enjoy any drinks during our stay). I liked the onsite gym, and LOVED the sauna. The coffee and tea selection was also very nice, and the lobby is so warmly furnished and decorated. The shower in our en suite private room was unexpectedly great (with the knobs and soap on the opposite side from the shower head), I would definitely like that setup in my own home. I thought the toiletries were a bit too fragrant. The hair dryer was awesome, and I want one for myself.

I had a great time at KEX. They had these large drawers under the bunk beds where you could store your stuff and lock it up. I felt safe. I really like the proximity of the bar and the sauna. Parking was a pain, but you get that with any city area.

Really cool hotel. It even had a sauna which was really relaxing. It’s downtown Portland but quiet and good nights sleep and walking distance to Oregon Convention Center. Also very reasonably priced. I would definitely stay there again.

A Posh Hostel Experience
I hadn't stayed in a multi-bed dormitory in decades. But this was nice! Very quiet, with climate control, black-out curtains, and privacy curtains for each bed. Drinking water, towels, and even earplugs were provided in the room. My bunk bed was SOOOOO comfy! And each bed has an enormous drawer into which you can put your stuff. You can rent a lock for the drawer for $4. The bathrooms (three on my floor) were always clean, and somehow always open (I never had to wait). Nice showers, with shampoo & body wash provided. Right outside the four-bunk room where I stayed was a nice little lounge area where I could sit in a cushy chair and work on my laptop (while charging it). The restaurant/bar area is classy and obviously popular, but I didn't hang out there much.

Overall good stay for a weekend in Portland, Pretty noisy, “deluxe queen room” with its own bathroom was directly located beside shared one. Nightly interruptions. Small room, showering set off fire alarm in room. Booked late check out (2pm) during check-in. Still got a call from reception at 11am asking why I haven’t left the room yet - mediocre experience.
