A “must stay” if you’re in Boston

The Kendall Hotel is a hidden gem in the Boston area. Very comfortable welcoming and clean. Loved the decorations/history throughout the hotel. Wonderful breakfast! We will be back!

Beautiful room, helpful staff, always giving us extra towels. Great location for our needs. Clean, lots of great dining choices. Will return, when we again have business in the area. Great breakfast buffet, that saves us money, so we could then spend it on some upscale restaurants, LOL.
