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 #### Arvin Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fun little place with a lot to do ##### Arvin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is the first time I've stayed, but I have visited the Kennedy School several times before. 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 #### David May 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is such a great place to stay!!! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### joseph Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed how they remolded the old school and kept it charm. ##### joseph Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable and unique Cool hotel, very unique.
