Reviews
If I had the choice I'd rate the Kendall 4.5. My king superior room was plenty spacious, comfortable and quiet. I took advantage of the ability to visit the Cambridge Athletic Club. The nightly happy hour is a nice touch but, then again, it's the same two pours and roasted nuts every night. Ditto with breakfast, which has been mentioned in this space, becomes monotonous after a couple of days. Same everything from the choice of two teas, to the mini cranberry scones, to the scrambled eggs, etc. By my third morning I made other breakfast arrangements because I just couldn't get excited about the bowl of muesli (no other cereal choices). The missing element was hospitality. The place feels very transactional. When I saw a staff member I never saw a smile or got a warm welcome. The hotel needs to work on that.
We stayed at the Kendall's over Columbus Day weekend. We were so impressed by the atmosphere, feel, and the coziness of the hotel. The morning complimentary breakfast was a special bonus and more generous than one would expect. The decor was special and inviting, and the staff could not have been nicer. I will certainly stay again…5 stars in my book!!!
The Kendall Hotel is a great stay in the heart of Cambridge. The rooms were spacious and cozy, there's a dedicated working space on the top floor. The complimentary breakfast was satisfactory, and the staff were very friendly! Highly recommend.
Cute, quirky, excellent breakfast, and in a great location. My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. Ron at the front desk was an absolute delight. We won't bother with any other hotel in Boston.
Only downfall was the limited parking spaces in the garage. Something to keep in mind.
All in all, an excellent hotel. Would highly recommend.
The Kendall is a charming and historic hotel that is operated by a very friendly and professional staff!! I experienced some of the best sleep in that cozy bed. I'll definitely be staying here again!
Quaint comfortable hotel refurbished from an old Boston fire station. Convenient location easily acessable from the Subway and many Boston historic sites and restaurants within walking distance. Includes robust hot breakfast. I highly recommend.
Very clean and well put together estabilshment. The location is incredible and many rooms have great views. I highly recommend this hotel.
Very nice, big and cozy rooms. Breakfast is served as well and is delicious. There is a red line near by that goes to Boston.
