The Kennedy School
This historical school in Portland's northeast area opened in 1915. It has been lovingly restored by McMenamins, a local brewpub operation, and now offers comfortable accommodations at a reasonable price, as well as lots of fun on-site amenities. Enjoy a whiskey and a cigar in the former detention room or a movie and a piece of pizza in the former gymnasium. The hotel offers a restaurant, several bars, a heated pool and individually furnished rooms. Since the hotel was once a school, some of the rooms offer shared bathrooms rather than individual en suite facilities, so check when you book your room.
