The place was very cool! Unique being an old firehouse! Great amenities like free coffee, bottled water and cookies in your room. Breakfast was best I have had at a bite that was also free! Real eggs and bacon!

This property is one block from a T-stop and is so convenient. There are multiple dining options in the surrounding area and so many things that can be walked to.

The front desk staff in the morning were surly and unfriendly. The elevator was out of service the entire time and had been out of service prior to our arrival, but the hotel did not send out a notification. Not great when you have luggage and are on the fourth floor. On the plus side, the beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is excellent.

Attention anyone going to Boston: you MUST stay here if you can. Wonderful and comfortable rooms, excellent service, cozy reception area and bar, generous breakfast options, steps away from the T so you can get absolutely anywhere in the city in minutes. Plus, it’s a historic building with loads of charm, not the usual generic hotel options you have to settle for. Reasonably priced, especially given the thoughtful attention to detail so your stay is pleasant and enjoyable in every respect. Don’t overlook this gem if you’re traveling to Boston!

This is a lovely boutique hotel in the middle of MIT. Easy access to the train to Boston, 2 stops away. Lots of good restaurants, book stores, and a few blocks walk to the Charles river walking path. Breakfast included, well worth the rates.

What a beautiful hotel! We absolutely loved our stay at the Kendall hotel and would definitely stay again! Our only complaint is that our room was very hot and the windows did not open. The front desk staff was lovely and provided us with a fan. This is a very old historic building so the temperature must be challenging to regulate, but I would suggest asking for a fan if it’s uncomfortable for you. Otherwise it was an absolutely spectacular stay!

The hotel was nice. Parking was $45 additional per night. The parking garage is in the basement below the hotel and is very tight. I’d recommend a small vehicle if you’re going to park here. Breakfast was okay. Scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes with sour cream, salsa, and hot sauce available were the choices for hot breakfast during my 4 night stay.
