I enjoy having options for restaurants that are open later, as well as easy and safe well lit parking that is close to drive to just about everything I need. Nice to have the extra amenities like the soaking pool. Cool place with lots of personality and history. Always friendly staff! Amazing art everywhere!

The Kennedy School Hotel is a work of art. It is chock a block full of interesting things to see and do. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. On the down side, our king bed was a tad less comfortable than some other places we recently stayed at, but certainly not bad enough to affect our sleep too much. We would go stay again especially if rates drop somewhat.

The hotel is unique and fun. I'm glad they preserved Kennedy School! I love the cocktails at McMenamins, and the food was good. Only complaint was noisy neighbors on our hallway, but we could see after the second night that a sign was put up to keep partiers out of the hallway.

Always a favorite. Quiet, and chill. Theater on site, large comfy couches. You can walk around with your pint in hand. The people are kind and respectful, and the art everywhere makes Kennedy School a delight to escape to.

I stayed here last night and I absolutely love the staff. I started having a panic attack and the person at the bar got me a muffin and some water and asked how I was doing, I’m so grateful for that. Thank you so much!
