McMenamins Kennedy School - 'sleeping at school' gag

McMenamins Kennedy School is a renovated 1915 elementary school converted into a hotel, restaurant, bars, movie theater, and soaking pool complex; the property opened as a McMenamins venue in the 1990s. The building retains classrooms, a gym, and a bell tower while operating as hospitality space. Because guests stay overnight in a former school, Portlanders frequently make a recurring, tongue-in-cheek joke about 'going back to school' when recommending the hotel to visitors.
