We just completed a 2 nite stay while in town to see our son. His apartment is downtown, east river side and Kennedy is just a 15 minute drive NW about midway between PDX and downtown. Wonderful, small, quaint home neighborhood, good for walks. Like...More
Thank you for your review, we can't wait to see you again! Cheers, Mel Jensen Principal McMenamins Kennedy School
My friend brought me here to see this colorful and eclectic old school. This point of interest surprised me with how I wanted to see it all. The very open and well decorated restaurant is colorful, full of plants and natural light. There are beds...More
We are so glad you got to enjoy a full tour of the building. I agree the notes to Lois is one of my favorite pieces but so subtle that I believe they are often missed. We hope to see you again soon. Cheers! Mel...More
Always something for everyone. I had a great hamburger and fries but my husband's salad was great. If you try the specials, you will not be disappointed. Service is great. This is an all round perfect choice for a family

If you’re in, around, or just kind of near Portland, the McMenamins Kennedy School is an absolute must-visit. It doesn’t even really matter what you’re looking for – movies, music, a nice meal out, or even just a pleasant stroll through an interesting area, they’ve...More
Thank you for your review. It sounds like you found the "Dear Lois" poems hidden in some beautiful mosaics around the school. These poems were written in a school annual by fellow students in the mid 1930's. A lot of people miss these gems and...More
This attraction was one of the coolest places I've stumbled upon while traveling the US cities. It's an old school that they preserved that serves as an accommodation (hotel stay, limited rooms), 6 bars, a movie theater, and an attraction. The hallways are super cool...More
Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your visit. We hope to see you again soon! Cheers, Mel Jensen Principal McMenamins Kennedy School
Good grief could the rooms be smaller? No tv. No walking room loud in corridor. We actually stayed one night then hastened back to Cannon beach. We also had dinner here in a crowded restaurant actually the food was good and the atmosphere friendlyMore
We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay at the Kennedy School. We appreciate your comments about the size of the room and your experience on property. We do hope to see you again in the future. Sincerely, Mel Jensen Principal McMenamins Kennedy...More
They say Portland is weird. In many effects it's just a marketing thing more than the actual truth, but there are some pretty odd places to go in Portland. McMenamins Kennedy School is certainly one of them. There's a good chance you dreamed of having...More
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your visit and appreciate your compliments about the Boiler Room. We will make sure the staff hears that you enjoyed your visit. We hope to see you again. Keep Portland Weird! Cheers, Mel...More
Where to start? Perhaps with my incredulous "We're going _where_ for lunch...?!!" Fortunately, my better half had done her research... and I'm now stuck searching for sufficiently-unique adjectives to describe the magical transformation of school-to-adult-amusement-park! Had we not been on a tight schedule, I'd probably...More
This could be my favorite review in recent history. Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit and hope you'll have more time the next time you're in town. I'll be sure to share your comments about the halibut with our...More
A local friend took me there for lunch on a Wednesday. Could not believe how great the experience was. A converted school with bars, good food, outdoor eating, local micro beers. The refurbished school property is amazing. Walking the halls and rooms looking at the...More
