I love how much there is to do just on the campus. The food is tasty, the room was comfortable, and I loved the soak pool. I also appreciate that the property is in a neighborhood of Portland that I love. Overall, I had a lovely stay! ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deanna Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed my stay at the Kennedy School. It was fun learning the history of the school and walking around enjoying the artwork and unique design. They had a very friendly culture and I especially enjoyed the soaking pool. It is an old building, so does not feature more modern amenities like a mini fridge, tv in rooms, or super updated bathrooms, but the culture and variety of other options like the bars and restaurants more than make up for it. I was also able to check my luggage early before check in, as well as after check out. Would definitely stay there again. ##### Deanna Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable and unique Cool hotel, very unique.

It's in a neighborhood area, so the rooms are quiet. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this location. ##### Deanna Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Minturn Jun 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What an absolute treasure of a hotel!

Multiple bars. Restaurant and outdoor seating for pet owners when warmer. I would have given a full 5 stars except the pet friendly room fronted the noisy street. And room service was fast but the hamburger and fries were luke warm. ##### LINDA Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Hotel Vintage Portland by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Kimpton-Hotel-Vintage-Portland.h2993.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Portland - Columbia Riverfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Portland-Columbia-Riverfront.h63.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Zags Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Hotel-Zags-Portland.h22135.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel deLuxe](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Hotel-DeLuxe.h37645.Hotel-Information) > > [The Paramount Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Paramount-Hotel.h330558.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Portland Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Moxy-Portland-Downtown.h61340845.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Sonesta Portland Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Royal-Sonesta-Portland.h41174.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porter Portland, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Porter-Portland.h21728839.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Portland City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Portland-City-Center.h2469036.Hotel-Information) > > [The Benson Portland, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Benson.h28272.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bidwell Marriott Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Bidwell-Marriott-Portland.h282737.Hotel-Information) > > [University Place Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-University-Place-Hotel-Conference-Center.h17920.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Jupiter-Hotel.h1062725.Hotel-Information) > > [The Nines, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Nines.h2140707.Hotel-Information) > > [The Duniway Portland A Hilton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Duniway-Portland-A-Hilton-Hotel.h17395433.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Portland Downtown, OR](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Portland-Downtown.h16817074.Hotel-Information) > > [Staypineapple, Hotel Rose, Downtown Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Staypineapple.h440831.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vance, Portland, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Hotel-Vance.h30039520.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Lucia](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Hotel-Lucia.h15988.Hotel-Information) > > [Mark Spencer Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Mark-Spencer-Hotel.h19921.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Portland Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Hilton-Portland-Downtown.h25551.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Downtown Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Downtown-Portland.h42013935.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hoxton Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Hoxton-Portland.h30445831.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Portland-Pearl District](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-And-Suites-By-Hilton-Portland-Pearl-District.h18754357.Hotel-Information) > > [Heathman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-The-Heathman-Hotel.h3096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Portland/Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Hyatt-House-PortlandDowntown.h15490291.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Vancouver-Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Vancouver-Portland.h62858.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Portland-Downtown.h74615.Hotel-Information) > > [Dossier Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels-Dossier.h285371.Hotel-Information)
