Wonderful

Always a favorite. Quiet, and chill. Theater on site, large comfy couches. You can walk around with your pint in hand. The people are kind and respectful, and the art everywhere makes Kennedy School a delight to escape to.
We enjoyed the tasteful charm of the decor within the historic building and ate multiple times at the Courtyard Restaurant which was outstanding for all mealss
I stayed here last night and I absolutely love the staff. I started having a panic attack and the person at the bar got me a muffin and some water and asked how I was doing, I’m so grateful for that. Thank you so much!
A quirky spot : need a tour guide of which they have many. The hotel staff was top notch & helpful. My room was safe and clean — maybe could have been vacuumed better . The main restaurant staff was untrained and clueless. Will try the other locations ! Very cool place
What an absolute treasure of a hotel! So unique! Great staff, fun bar/restaurant/artwork/movie theater/pool/gift shop/coffee bar etc. You really need to experience this beautiful place. I will definitely be back.
We’re return visitors and love the charm and uniqueness of Kennedy School. If you need a tv in the room, this is not the place for you, but we welcomed a break from it. Wifi is good for phones or laptops. Restaurants onsite open until 11 pm for late arrivals and food was good. If you are here earlier, saltwater soaking pool and a small, cozy movie theater are onsite, too. Love finding another comfortable and pet friendly hotel.
