We really enjoyed our stay at The Kennedy - the retro-1960’s decor was fun! Cute pool area, very friendly staff, good breakfast, and pet friendly! We stayed there twice on our way to NM and back. Nice to now have a go-to place to stay in Tucson ☀️.

This place is charming. The pool, music, and decor are great to hang out and enjoy the weather. I loved being able to walk my dog and found the Twisted India nearby for our vegan diet. The coffee in the morning was tasty. All that you need at an affordable rate.

There were no electrical outlets in the bathroom. And very few in the bedroom. In this day and age with all the electrical things we need to carry like CPAP machines, phones and computers that is really a problem. Breakfast choices were just OK.

It was a dump with shady people staying at it. I was afraid to go from my vehicle to my room. My room was non-smoking and it reeked of smoke and there were cigarette burns in bed linens. I will never stay at this motel again.
