KEX in the city

We really enjoyed the KEX, but the room we had was quite small (and we had an en-suite bathroom which not all rooms have). Other than that, the location was excellent, the staff were friendly, and it was very walk-able. Great neighborhood to stay in and a short walk from downtown Portland.
