We loved the Kendall Hotel! I will only caution that the parking garage is very small and spaces there are very tight- I backed into a bollard that I could not see causing damage to my car.

We had an issue with our room and the gentleman on duty at midnight went above and beyond to move us and be sure we were good. And the breakfast buffet was great. Highly recommend.
