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.

Charming place with lots of lovely gestures from staff to make us feel welcome. The room did not look like a hotel room but a perfect guest room in a New England home.

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!
