The Kendall is a visually quaint, lively and comfortable (70-80 room) hotel in urban New England. Well located for MIT and the business/organizations in this part of Cambridge, MA. If you want to be closer to Harvard - and still avoid chains – then somewhere like The Veritas Hotel (where I have also stayed) is an option. I asked for... More

Restored fire house with individually distinct rooms. Quiet, pretty, quaint, charming and unusual. Attention to detail throughout. Breakfast buffet better than most. If you are tired of chain hotels, this is definitely the place for you. They even have parking beneath, but don't bring a huge vehicle. More

This hotel is a converted fire station on the East side of the MIT campus. It's also on the edge of "Area 4", a part of Cambridge consisting mostly of impersonal office blocks (many of which used to be abandoned factories). This is not the nicest part of Cambridge, but it has a number of good restaurants, and the Red... More

This hotel is great. I was in town with friends, and we were just looking for a place to crash - and we were figuring on bunking up, or sleeping on the floor if need be. We had reserved a room online with one King, and gotten a cot...at check in they noticed our numbers and moved us to a... More

Friends and I stayed here for a night in December and it was wonderful-- great location (2 minute walk to the T, very convenient in the winter!), the room was beautiful and spotless, all the staff were very helpful, and the breakfast buffet was awesome. Highly recommended-- a great value for the price. More

The hotel is very charming and absoutely spottless. This was our 2nd trip since September and loved it just as much as the 1st time. It was the perfect way to celebrate the New Year !! More

Lovely room. I enjoyed all the fire house memorabilia. It is on a main street, but generally quiet, in the hotel itself. The free breakfast was good, but nothing special. The staff were friendly, and after an initial mix-up, my stay was quite satisfactory. I would definitely frequent this historic hotel, again. More

This is a great little hotel that is charming and cozy without the musty smell and peeling paint. It's very well-maintained, the staff are friendly, and there are nice little touches throughout, like free Granny Smith apples at the front desk in a little wire basket. The rooms are more spacious than they'd appear from the outside. There's a complimentary... More

The Kendall is an ideal place to spend a chilly night in Cambridge, with a handy parking garage underneath the hotel that means you can spend as little time possible getting from your warm car to your warm room. We got a last minute discounted deal on a room with a huge fourposter bed. The bed was so big, I... More
