This was our first stay at the Kennedy School. We really enjoyed it. The soaking pool was great and they gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate my wife’s birthday. There were also movies we could have seen but we were not interested in the ones playing. You could spend an entire day just hanging out and eating at the property. It is also dog friendly so next time we will be bringing our pup.

This is a beautiful hotel. The restaurant and the pubs were great. I wish we had more time to enjoy a movie in their theater. As a retired teacher, I also wish we had upgraded to spend the night in an original classroom.

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!
