Great atmosphere and stuff to do. The soak pool is great
Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025

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!

Beautiful reused building in true McMinamins style. 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.
