“McMenamins Kennedy School impresses with its inspired repurposing of a historic elementary school. The bars and soaking pool provide ample on-site diversions, while the quirky art and gardens lend the property a distinct charm. I think its appeal is strongest for those seeking a novel and community-focused stay in Portland.”
