Stay at this hotel! It was charming and exceeded expectations We went to Boston for a 4th of July family vacation. I would hands down recommend this hotel and we plan on going back. Location: Right next to the T in a clean area of the city. Walking distance from MIT. Accommodations: Clean hotel and very comfortable beds. Charming with the USA and Firehouse theme. There's a sitting room/common area on the 7th floor where we played games and had take-out meals. Going Above and Beyond: The staff was extremely helpful for all our tourist questions. Day 1, in our room, was a welcome gift with water, cookies and other snacks. Breakfast: Excellent - eggs, fruit, yogurt and bacon. Not your typical "cheap" continental breakfast. Coffee was also good and included. I figured it saved us $30/$40 not having to get breakfast for 3 people. If you're wondering about booking this hotel, book it! July 4th also an excellent time to take in all the American history.

Best place to rest in Boston/Cambridge area This unique hotel was an exquisite place to relax. The charm of this hotel after a day of touring was very comforting. The decor relates to the history of the firehouse itself. The room was large with a very comfortable king bed and a lovely sitting area. The breakfast every morning was delicious and included eggs, bacon, potatoes, hot and cold cereals, fresh fruits, yogurt, bread and pastries. It was right on the red line subway system which we used to get to Fenway Park as well as the Boston Common. It is also in the middle of MIT. The staff catered to everyone's needs. The rooms are soundproofed as well.

Loved My Stay at Kendall Hotel! I recently had a long-term stay at Kendall Hotel and it was fantastic! The location is perfect—right next to some great restaurants, a CVS, and close to the T, which was super convenient. The staff at the front desk were always friendly and really helpful whenever I needed anything. The manager was especially accommodating, always going out of her way to make sure my stay was comfortable. The breakfast was simple but always fresh and tasty using quality ingredients. The rooms were also great, with all the amenities you could need. I’m actually coming back here for my graduation commencement and I’m looking forward to staying again. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the area!

Exceptional! The Kendall Hotel is incredibly charming and the staff very welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast and coffee in the morning are convenient and wonderful. The beds are comfortable and the rooms immaculate. Perfect location in Cambridge near restaurants and the MIT campus. Everything you could ask for!
