    Location is great, and free parking is a huge benefit. Kennedy School is really neat with its history and ambiance.

    McMenamin's is an experience that eveyone should enjoy at least once! The historically preserved property was restored with funky lighting and art that celebrated its history. We spent hours walking up and down the hallways of the old school...

    What a fantastic hotel and wished we'd had longer than one night. So much character and history in one building and it felt quite magical to enter into it all even if just for one night. Hotel was also in a lovely part of Portland.

    I loved the location. How our hotel was separated from the School. I enjoyed the little walk outside into the building. I LOVED our room! It was so beautiful. The art is so beautiful. The headboard of the bed was breathtaking. I love the style...
