My first time there and we loved it! As we walked in we were greeted by Jr. who was beyond helpful walked us through all the property amenities. Our room was very nice- I was very impressed. The pool and arcade were of course my daughter’s favorites. Parking is gated which made me even more comfortable. We will be staying there again and I will be recommending The Kennedy to my family and friends.

Cute place. Good amenities- breakfast, affordable items in the main area, arcade games were fun. Feels secure with the gates around the property. Staff was friendly and mostly helpful. Pool towels were elusive and scarce. Centrally located in Tucson. Overall, good stay.

This place has a nice retro vibe. It appears to have been recently updated and looks great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative is the free breakfast. It is very limited to say the least many items were cold even when we arrived early. They could do better in this department. But overall a good stay.
