Portland, OR, USA < change city >

"used to be a grade school, now is a hotel, movie theatre, restaurant, soaking pool and has small bars like "detention""

"Restuarants, bars and movie theater all housed in an old elementary school."

"Way cool restaraunt, bar, hotel in a converted school building. Definitely a must-see!"

"My family really enjoyed staying here. It's a very unique place! There are two potential drawbacks: 1) no TVs in the room 2) one couple said that there was a lot of noise coming from the hallway. Despite the lack of TV and some noise, all were quite happy to have stayed at Kennedy School."

"A great tourist spot, actually. The food's not awesome, but you hardly notice."

"This is a local gem - fun pubs, a cheap movie theatre where you sit on couches eating pizza & beer, public tiled hot soaking pool (bring your suits!). Mari & Jackie had one of their first dates here and go here often! It's also a hotel, but sadly seems to be already full for most of our wedding weekend. From the website: Since it opened in 1915, this historic elementary school has been a beloved fixture of its Northeast Portland neighborhood. McMenamins has renovated the once-abandoned scholastic gem and turned it into Portland's most delightful lodging establishment. Here you'll find 35 comfy guestrooms fashioned from former classrooms (complete with original chalkboards and cloakrooms, private baths, telephones and modems), a truly unique restaurant, multiple cozy bars, a movie theater, soaking pool, and even a working brewery (just wait until the principal hears about this!). Extensive original artwork and historical photographs cover the walls, ceilings, doorways and hallways of this place and the gift shop beckons with mementos of your stay."

"Our guests had a great time here and a good story to take home."

"Have a bite watch a flick and unwind! This is also a great place to stay the night. Low roomrates!"
