DawnUnited StatesUnique and Comfortable Hotel with great location.
The entire vibe of the Kex was awesome. The front desk guy was super helpful with where to park, etc. Our room was the best with the bunk beds, each kid had their own space and it felt like I had the room to myself. The…

Questions about KEX Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at KEX Hotel?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does KEX Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does KEX Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at KEX Hotel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does KEX Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at KEX Hotel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book KEX Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
