Attention Portlanders or folks who have been to Portland

I have Guster Tix to Portland, and will be travelling come the end of March. Anyone have recommendations on a good little hotel to stay at?

I'd like it to be around $100 per night...and Near Powell's. :-)

The hotel that I'm thinking of is fun and unique - it's called Kennedy School, and it's literally a former elementary schoolhouse turned into hotel:

The rooms have chalkboards, etc. to keep it reminescent of its history. However, because it's now part of the McMenamin's group, it also has lots of amenities in the building, like a pub, movie theatre, etc. It's in your price range. It's not walking distance to Powell's, but it's something fun and kinda whimsical to consider :)

Oh very cool. I will look into this. I will be willing to sacrifice convenience for cool, quirky charm with good amenities! Thank you!
