I've lived in Portland for 12 years, and now when I visit (having tried a dozen hotels here) this is the only place I'll stay. It's comfortable, has an old-world charm, and the staff is terrific.

Great staff. Cool spot and loved the esthetics. Only problem is there was no fridge in my room and also every 30 mins a weird loud noise would rattle the whole room.

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.
