The Kendall Hotel is a great and very unique hotel tucked away in downtown Boston. Very clean and great staff. A must stay for any active/retired firefighter as sit is in Old Station 7. Definitely looking forward to returning to the Boston area and booking another stay with them.

Very clean and bed was very comfortable. Nice quiet area with subway station next door making it easy to access any part of Boston. Vacationed here for 6 nights and would return tomorrow if I could! A little pricey but well worth it in my opinion.
