Wonderful gem of a hotel! Excellent service, comfortable rooms and beds, perfect location close to the T. Above all the CLEANEST rooms we’ve ever seen (and we are careful and meticulous in our inspections due to allergies). Overall lovely, highly recommend!

1-night trip

10/10

The elevator is very slow; if you need it, you're going to spend a lot of time waiting. Other than that, I can't say enough nice things about this hotel. The location is amazing. Within a few minutes walk, you can find the T station, dozens of restaurants, and a walking path along the Charles. The breakfast buffet is kept stocked and has better food than a typical continental breakfast. The room is about average size, with comfortable beds and attractive decor. The whole hotel has a nice (not overdone) patriotic theme with some cool firefighter memorabilia. We will definitely try to stay here again whenever we come back to Cambridge.

Excellent accommodations! Staff is very friendly & accomodating. Room was immaculate. Breakfast was hot, well-stocked, etc. The only “complaint” & it is a minor one, is the water pressure in the shower was poor. I will definitely stay at the Kendall again!

An absolutely lovely, charming place to stay, with a myriad nice dining options and coffee shops around, a bustling college town vibe, near public transportation, and with an unfailingly gracious and helpful staff. Best of the best.
