Great place to stay while in Portland. The free parking was great. We enjoyed the soaking pool as well. We stayed during a heatwave and the little AC unit really kept the room cool. We had the room service breakfast one day which was good if a little cumbersome. Went and sat in the Courtyard restaurant the next morning, waited ten minutes for a server and ended up leaving to go elsewhere. Hotel is neat if a little eerie at night.
We were just visiting. What a great bar. The cocktail came in a shark glass. It kinda felt like going to school again. Great concept.
Fun historical location an old turn of the century school now hotel and restaurant

McMenamins Kennedy School is a popular spot located in the Concordia neighborhood, known for its unique interior featuring various bars, lounges, hallway artwork, and a movie theater. The restaurant offers a pleasant patio area for dining with pets, where guests can enjoy the charm and ambiance of the historic building. Visitors can savor delicious food and a variety of drinks, including mixed drinks and beer. The venue is suitable for different occasions, such as attending science talks, watching movies, or simply relaxing with friends. Guests have praised the Irish coffee and suggested trying breakfast before the brunch menu starts, which can be a bit more limiting.
The property features unique themed bars, including the Cypress Room, which offers tropical beverages. There’s plenty to do on and around the property, making it a great spot for family reunions. Guests can enjoy lunch in the courtyard, take a dip in the pool, or hang out in the Community room, typically reserved for community activities. While the hotel experience may not be the best for the price point, with housekeeping by request and no TVs in the rooms, the overall experience remains enjoyable. The staff is friendly, helpful, and proud of their school, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere that keeps visitors coming back.
