Great Boutique Hotel
We enjoyed our stay at The Kendall Hotel in Cambridge. We stayed there once before and enjoyed our stay enough to come back again. The rooms are very clean, the staff is super friendly, and the breakfast was very tasty, and it is free with stay. The breakfast had both hot and cold offerings. The Kendall is located in a great, safe area. We will be back again.
