Nestled amid the high tech world of Cambridge’s MIT is a throwback to another time and place. The Kendall Hotel, at The Engine 7 Fire House, evokes images of a period when firehouses were also home to horse drawn wagons. We were fortunate to have stumbled on this jewel in the crown boutique hotel on our visit over the Christmas... more

Loved it!

We loved our stay at the Kendall. The room was beautiful - very LARGE (maybe I'm too used to NYC-sized hotel rooms) and very well appointed. I love the Gilchrest-Soames soaps/shampoo - they even provided conditioner. There were a couple of nice antique-like pieces in the room that lent a very nice touch - NOT like a cookie-cutter place. Service... more

The Kendall Hotel, located in Cambridge by MIT and very close to a "T" station, is one of the best-kept secrets in the area! This converted 1894 Firehouse is as charming and inviting as it gets. Filled with antiques and interesting art, the Kendall has loads of quirky character. It is small enough to have the feel of a boutique... more

I'm with the military and I was attending training in Cambridge, MA and stayed at the Kendall for 3 weeks. During the entire stay, it was wonderful. The rooms are decorated with antique furniture and modern amenities (wireless internet, cable). The ambiance of the hotel lobby and the rooms just matched perfectly with the decor and the theme. Brenda (the... more

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
