Because of its former history as a 1915 schoolhouse, this hotel/restaurant exudes tons of charm packed in its former classrooms now turned into dining or hotel rooms by McMenamins. The restaurant...

When you can open the windows and sit outside for a beer, the old house smell does not bother much. This is a fun hotel, the kind where you spend as little time in your room as possible. If you're...

I'm trying to be as objective as I can in my reviews. So i gave this place 4 stars, when personally it was more of a 3 star experience for me, but that's just me. It's a converted school house and...

We spent four nights at McMenamins' Kennedy School Hotel in Portland, Oregon. It was a great experience. The former elementary school, built in 1914, has been transformed into a great hotel and...
