This being my first trip into Boston, I wasn't sure about the area I wanted to stay in. However, thanks to fellow travelers ratings, I picked the Kendall Hotel as my hotel of choice for 4 nights. I arrived on the red-eye, and although check-in isn't offically until 3pm, they very graciously accommodated me by allowing me to have a very ...

Terrific place to stay! Good value for Boston.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/28/07
Location, Rooms, Restaurant, Service, Rates...all excellent. We have stayed at several hotels in Cambridge and Boston but like the Kendall the best, having found it by walking by it in a previous trip.
Convenient location next to the MIT campus, near a "T" stop so you can get to downtown Boston or to Harvard in about 10 minutes. ...

SO GREAT...Looking forward to our stay for Harvard's 2007 Commencement
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/14/07
I stayed at this hotel for only one night in the summer of 2006. I had already booked 3 rooms here a year in advance for our stay during the upcoming 2007 Harvard Commencement and I wanted to stay here to see what it was like beforehand. I was very pleased; not only did the room look as good as the pictures online, but the staff was wonderfully ...

Great Stay!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/04/06
We stayed here with a big group of our family when we came to the area for the 4th of July. They were so accomodating. The rooms were great and clean and very distinct, and unique. Also, the breakfast provided and the restaurant was not dissapointing. Also, near the subway station so you are within easy access of everything!

Thoroughly Enjoyable
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/12/06
It was easy to find from the Turnpike. It is close to the subway station. It is clean and very nicely furnished in a quirky way. It's small. The parking is included as is breakfast which was delicious.
The service in the restaurant on Saturday night was slow which is a slow night for them and I think the items are pricey. We ate there ...

Staff unhelpful , unwilling to respond back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/26/06
I left my rain coat in the closet. I remember latter in the afternoon of checking out (Check out is 11AM) I called as soon as I realized I left it in the room. It was not a matter of not being sure I left it. I remember leaving it. I meant to take it but got distracted. It was definitely there! I was told I it would be looked into and would be ...

Horrible Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/26/06
My wife and I reserved a room,unfortunately our daughter got sick the night before. When we tried to cancel (admitedly less than 24 hours in advance) they refused and charged us for a nights stay anyway! They were totally unwilling to compromise, and work out any sort of deal with us, and just kept repeating, "our policy is you need to cancel ...

you'll want to move it.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/24/05
I think it was the warm reception that i got that won me over when i checked in; then the free internet access sealed the deal. the icing on the cake (or should i say the scones served in the cafe) was the breakfast the next morning, WOW./// its a must see!

best in boston
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/04/05
This hotel is the most unique in the Boston Cambridge area. It has art and antiques through out, great rooms(large and funky) great food at the resturant, if you can get a table, and a waqrm and friendly staff, all at rates that are less than the awful 400 room Marriott across the street. And the best location for doing anything in Kendall Square or Boston and Cambridge.
It was the cheapest place I could find and yet it was the closest to MIT. I got there and it turned out to be the cleanest too. Finally, a hotel that doesn't look like someone designed it drunk. My best hotel experience ever.
