It wasn’t what u expected. No a/c in the room just a fan. Several of the bars were closed. The ones opened wasn’t what I expected.

One of a kind experience. Perfect for one or two nights, a nostalgia walk or an old American school experience. Very cool and casual.

Always a favorite. Quiet, and chill. Theater on site, large comfy couches. You can walk around with your pint in hand. The people are kind and respectful, and the art everywhere makes Kennedy School a delight to escape to.

I stayed here last night and I absolutely love the staff. I started having a panic attack and the person at the bar got me a muffin and some water and asked how I was doing, I’m so grateful for that. Thank you so much!

A quirky spot : need a tour guide of which they have many. The hotel staff was top notch & helpful. My room was safe and clean — maybe could have been vacuumed better . The main restaurant staff was untrained and clueless. Will try the other locations ! Very cool place

We’re return visitors and love the charm and uniqueness of Kennedy School. If you need a tv in the room, this is not the place for you, but we welcomed a break from it. Wifi is good for phones or laptops. Restaurants onsite open until 11 pm for late arrivals and food was good. If you are here earlier, saltwater soaking pool and a small, cozy movie theater are onsite, too. Love finding another comfortable and pet friendly hotel.

The whole place is unique. It's fun to wander around and look at the lighting fixtures and old photos and articles.
My complaints are the 60/40 sheets (should be cotton, at this price point), and that the A/C unit dripped water onto my head.

We arrived about 4pm from Seattle and check in was difficult due to a long line signing in to use the soaking pool, after checking in we got to our room and the noise from the soaking pool was overwhelming. Our room had a window looking out and people were shoulder to shoulder and drinking alcohol, it seemed like a regular thing. Loud voices and laughter are ok at a restaurant , party, public park etc but we should have been warned or given a choice of rooms that the “relaxing soaking pool “ is a party. This went on most of the day when the soaking pool is open to the public (10:00am-6:30pm) and didn’t relent until almost 10:00pm. Ironically there’s a sign outside the window looking down on the pool “Hotel Guests only Quiet Please” Clearly no one was respecting this as the pool is very loud and people were touring the hallways that lead to the rooms , also drinking and speaking in loud voices. The final morning (a Monday ) they began cleaning the pool at 6:00am (must be a huge chore after the high volume usage over the weekend) and then the toilet back up and flooded the bathroom.
The peace and quiet of the soaking pool is one of the big reasons we have been back here a half dozen times, we felt the hotel is not encouraging respectful voices in the pool or hallways adjacent to guest rooms. We lived near here when the hotel was developed , and raised our kids going to see a movie and take a soak. Unfortunately it’s time to move on.
