I love this Motel and would have given it 5 stars for everything BUT, The woman who was working breakfast was rude and had attitude.The food was over cooked, burned and way to much pepper on the potatoes. My husband asked for hot water and she brought it out and slammed it on the counter. The floor and tables had food that was dropped by other guest. I stepped in potatoes that had been dropped and had to clean my shoes. It was sad because it was such a nice place to stay retro style motel, clean comfortable, and she ruined the vibe. I'd stay again and hope she will not be the breakfast person. If she is I'll go out for breakfast.

So freaking cute, the hotel is adorable. I made me wanna like decorate my room just like it. The murals are really nice. Everybody was really friendly. I felt really safe. The breakfast was really good. The bathtub after a long drive was the perfect thing to soak in and also the soaps and shampoo smell really nice. My only complaint is my neighbors were pretty loud and I could hear them through the wall however that’s really the role of the dice at any place you stay at whether or not you’ll have good neighbors and I’m sure if I went to the front desk and had told them that they were too loud. Something would have been done about it.

After a really long road trip, we arrived to this recommended hotel. I have to wait around 15 minutes so the front desk personnel appeared. Seems they are short in personnel, because next day, the same front desk lady was the cooker and server at the breakfast.
The room was excellent.

We made a reservation for this property based on the 9.4 rating and being completely unfamiliar with the area trusted what we saw online. When we arrived in the evening, we discovered it is in a VERY unsafe area of town and we did not even feel comfortable checking in. The photos and description are misleading on the website making it seem like its a fine place to be. They know its unsafe too cause there's a GATE that locks your car in to the property when you stay there. Nice idea to restore an old hotel, but its in a bad part of town and people should know that. Lost a nights money but don't care... stayed on down the road somewhere much safer. Read the negative reviews and even some of the positive ones before you stay here. Wish I had...

The guys that work the desk are so nice and courteous. We were in town due to my father in law being in the hospital and they made the stay easy. The whole property is clean and tidy. The rooms are nice and all white 😮 so definitely can see they care about there property. The pool was working and at 7 am they were skimming it and getting ready for their guests. Very cute hotel with an old school feel. Definitely worth the price.

I planned a trip to take my grandkids to see the Capybaras at a nearby ranch. The hotel was awesome. We were transported to a mixture of old school elegance while swimming at the pool and the room was spacious and well put together. The kids loved making their own breakfast with a touch of a button pancake machine. It was close to restaurants and shopping.

Our stay at The Kennedy was just for one night as Tucson was just a stopping point for us. The gentlemen that checked us in was incredibly polite and friendly. When we asked for dinner recommendations, he gave us a few ideas which was nice since we’d never been to Tucson. The hotel itself is adorable, and our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was your typical breakfast; juice, muffins, eggs, waffles and sausage.
Overall our stay was enjoyable and if/when we come back to Tucson, we’d definitely stay there again.

the room was nice and clean, the bed was comfortable and I was sleeping very well up until 3:12 am when I was awoken by a bunch of other people that were fighting and their car alarm horn going off, it was all so rude and disruptive it totally ruined my night as I was not able to get back to sleep again and had a bad headache the rest of the day. I wanted to have gone swimming, but the water looked cloudy murky and dirty. The breakfast was pretty good. if it weren't for those rude people and the dirty pool water it would have been good.

Quick and friendly check-in. Staff was happy and said hi to everyone that walked by. This is the second time we’ve stayed here and both times were above expectations. We also loved the free little arcade with old games where Dads can beat their kids in games we played as a kid.

We really liked our stay at the Kennedy! It was so cute & clean! The staff were great too. We were a bit disappointed with breakfast, tbh. Biscuits & gravy we took a pass on. They had pancakes, and some baked things & cereal too. Being gluten intolerant eggs would have been nice… but that won’t stop us from a return visit! Thank you Kennedy! :)

The room was newly renovated and was very clean and the bed was comfortable. If you can’t climb stairs be sure and ask for a room on the first floor. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the breakfast could’ve been better.

We loved the \"vibe\" of this hotel and the attention to details when with the decor and renovations. We loved the cabanas at the pool and that it was heated. The only thing that wasn't fantastic was the breakfast options. We ended up going out for breakfast instead. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would DEFINITELY stay there again.

Cute and funky motel easily accessible from I-10. They call themselves a hotel, but they are actually a motel.

Though they have thinner walls, with no noise buffer between upper and lower floors (meaning you can hear every footstep from your upstairs neighbor), I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Bed was super comfortable and room amenities are amazing (hello full size fridge!).

Water pressure in the shower was a little weak, so for a longer stay as someone with a full head of hair that could be a bit cumbersome - but for a night or two it's really quite delightful.

What an amazing place to stay. Older property yet, newly remodeled. Property is security gated. Good sized pool, your choice chairs or cabanas to enjoy your day. Very clean. Junior day check-in staff very cordial, has knowledge of surroundings areas to help you get where you need to go. Junior always cleaning the lobby to included the free breakfast area after breakfast is served. All staff is helpful whether it be administration or housekeeping. Scott in housekeeping went beyond expectation through his excellent demeanor in communications and helpfulness. Friday night pool party with drinks and live music when I was there. Its first looks can be deceiving, but just read the reviews! This is a hidden gem. Approximately one mile from a large Walmart and Bass Pro if you are traveling and need items in those areas. Check out Lins Oriental Buffet near by. You won’t be disappointed. Lots of fast food options also within a mile or less if you need a quick meal. Easy on and off access from 1-10. Approximately 10 minutes from UofA football stadium. Approximately 5 minutes or less to Tucson International Airport. You don’t have to thank me. Just enjoy your stay! CB

Check in was a mess. It took nearly 45 minutes before I was able to get into a room. I had to wait for someone to show up in the lobby for ages, then was checked into a room people were already staying in, then had to go back and find the lady working the desk again who then had to spend a bunch of time finding a room the was free, it was all very chaotic and unprofessional and took ages and I have no idea why you made me go through this rigmarole of checking in online before I arrive when you guys go through the whole process again when I get there and can't even get that straight?

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!

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.

The staff was nice and it seems like a hip type of place that a younger crowd would really enjoy. I like that it was gated because that neighborhood was seemingly not the best. I did not feel unsafe. What I didn’t like were the hard beds and the mystery stains on the walls a bedding. I tried wiping some of the orange stain off the wall and I think it was spray tan. Overall, if it was cheap I’d say go for it but it is a bit too expensive for what you get.
