When we drove up to the Kendall, we took one look and knew we would be thrilled with our stay. First of all, we were greeted by a very friendly and helpful person at the front desk when we checked in later in the evening. We were tired and hungry and at her suggestion we ordered dinner from the Black... more

I had a business trip for Oct. '09. During a prior trip, I saw the hotel's lobby and became interested in the hotel for future visits. I booked the hotel for this upcoming trip. Unfortunately, one of my partners suffered a loss in his family and had to travel away, resulting in the need of covering for him. I called... more

I typically stay at places I've been before or chain hotels where I know what I'm getting. I took a chance and booked a room at The Kendall Hotel and really enjoyed it. The front desk staff was laid back, not at all stuffy, yet accommodating. The parking was convenient -- right under the building. The subway, restaurants & retailers... more

Great hotel and value! Only in Boston for one night before heading up the coast and searched the internet for the perfect hotel in downtown Boston without much success. This location was excellent! Right by the train and the first stop was Charles Street in Boston. The rooms were very large and nicely appointed. Very much a boutique hotel. The... more

The staff at this former fire station was friendly and helpful and had answers to any of the questions we posed. The room was cozy with fire department artifacts and all the basic amenities one would look for when staying in a hotel. The onsite restaurant features local food in a low key setting. By far though, the best feature... more

Very colorful and patriotically-themed hotel with the charm of a small inn. Only complaint is the receptionist is rarely visable until you ring a bell-day or night. Great breakfast included and parking available is a plus. more

but the Kendall Hotel did. I travel so much for work I'm just used to being disappointed by dirty bathrooms, noisy places, poor service, etc. The Kendall Hotel was delightful -- cute decor, friendly & well-trained staff, perfect location for me... I loved it. Thanks for a great stay and returning my cell phone charger after I Ieft it plugged... more

We were greeted by a very friendly host. First impressions are so important, and she did an excellent job at making us feel welcome. Not knowing the area, she helped us pick out a place to have lunch, while our room was prepared for early check in. Upon arrival it was raining, so to have some warm coffee awaiting us... more

We stayed at the Kendall Hotel b/c I had a conference across the street at the Cambridge Marriott. We have stayed there several times and the rooms are nothing to write home about, parking is very expensive, etc. So we gave this a shot and would definitely return. This hotel is all about expectations. It is not a 5 star,... more
