Overall my stay was really good. The only issue i could think was the second floor rooms get a lot of noise from the street, busses, and the trash pickup. I wish my room came with ear plugs.

Ask the front desk for parking options, they’ll give you a printed sheet with great, low-cost options. Loved our stay. Don’t let the shared bathrooms for double rooms scare you away, it was clean and easy! Would stay here again and I’ll recommend it to others.

I really enjoyed my time at the KEX hotel! The rooms were kept nice and the bedding was so good. (I stayed in a shared room) The bathroom was clean, the food was good, the drinks were good! The staff were so kind! The only con is the parking…there isn’t a designated parking lot for the hotel and most of the time i had to circle around to find a spot. However the staff up front are more than knowledgeable about when and where ti park. (The website more than likely shares about the parking,I just don’t recall)

Really enjoyed staying here! Was my first time in a hostel and I honestly felt totally safe. The rooms were nice and clean and the staff were friendly. They provided water, towels, soap, and earplugs and plenty of storage underneath the bunks. There's space for a padlock for each storage drawer.

Property as well located, the individual rooms are fairly small, but certainly better than a shared bathroom in my opinion. Really enjoy the staff except for the front desk guy in the evening. There are two parking spaces in front of the hotel and we were parked in one just having a conversation as I was being dropped off. No one ever entered the space behind us. He walked out and exclaimed that we needed to move because we had been there for more than 15 minutes, and the bar was requesting our car to be moved. It was laughable that in someway, we were inconveniencing anything. For a pretty hip place, that was not a live and let live approach. Other than that, I enjoyed the stay

I was staying overnight after getting in on a late flight from Chicago. Emails communication was clear and succinct. Getting there via rideshare from the airport was easy enough. Check in was seamless. The pillow and mattress were both very comfortable. They provided earplugs because they were cognizant of the late-night noises of the area. There were carafes of water with glasses provided in the room as well. Shared bathrooms were very clean and hygienic. And check out was also straightforward. Very pleasant experience, I would definitely stay here again if I needed an overnight spot and would happily recommend it to others.

Great sleep

Great mattress and pillows, we slept so much better than some other hotels/hostels. Also the room was clean and had refillable toiletries. It was the first opening of the rooftop bar, and we spent a little time up there, but there was no noise on the third floor! Quirky but cozy furnishings. I would definitely stay here again.
