What can I say about our stay at the Kennedy…well, It’s as if whoever was responsible for dreaming it up/designing and managing it said “Hmm, what if we just did our absolute best with every single detail of this hotel?” From the incredible aesthetic, vintage boutique HIGH END VIBES, to the heated CLEAN pool, the free arcade, and the impressive hot breakfast, we absolutely loved it. Our kids said it was the best hotel they had ever stayed at. And being affordable meant the world to us, as a lower income family who can’t spend extra money on luxury. Thank you to The Kennedy for creating such a lovely space!
Gorgeous murals

Clean comfortable rooms that have been nicely remodeled. Nice pool, also very clean. There is a fun arcade room and decent breakfast. The area isnt the nicest but the parking lot and all of the hotel is gated so tou dont even know. It is however very close to shopping and food in a newer area.
