We had a wonderful stay at The Kennedy Tucson! We traveled with our kids, and it was the perfect family-friendly hotel. The rooms were clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the pool was a huge hit with the kids. Great location, great atmosphere, and excellent value. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

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.
