Cute spot in a not as cute neighborhood. That being said felt totally safe since it was gated. Beds were very comfortable and breakfast is adequate. Would stay here 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.

I was skeptical at first because the area is a little different, but the Kennedy is just an adorable little spot. They do such a nice job at making it clean efficient and adorable. We were so pleasantly surprised.

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!

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.

we had a wonderful time at the Kennedy. The staff was phenomenally kind. They have absolutely nailed the Kennedy era and Palm Springs style of that time period. The pool was a perfect temperature and the arcade was cute. My kids loved it. We will definitely be back again. For that price point and in that neighborhood, I was absolutely impressed! New fav hotel inTucson for sure
