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.

Love the retro vibe of this hotel! Seems recently remodeled, so everything was clean and fresh, but finishes looked pretty cheap/hasty. Water pressure in the shower was terrible. Pool was nice and warm, and staff was super friendly! Love that it has a secure parking lot.

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.

My first time there and we loved it! As we walked in we were greeted by Jr. who was beyond helpful walked us through all the property amenities. Our room was very nice- I was very impressed. 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.

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!
