The Kennedy Tucson, SureStay Collection by Best Western

The arcade room was a fun extra, and I really liked the pool area. The hotel is spotless, breakfast was good, and being right by the interstate made getting around easy. We come to Tucson for work and to see friends, so this is our new favorite and we’ll stay here each time.

The gated parking made us feel secure, and the hotel itself is beautiful. Our room was quiet and comfortable, with plenty of space, a kitchenette, and a full-sized fridge. I also liked the modern sliding bathroom door. Breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were pleasant and accommodating throughout. We had a wonderful stay at The Kennedy Hotel and highly recommend it for comfort, charm, and security.

The lounge was cozy and lively, with plenty of food, snacks, and drinks to choose from. I was also impressed by the kitchenette in our room, even though I forgot to take a photo. The pet-friendly policy, welcoming atmosphere, and gated parking won my wife and me over. It felt like a breath of fresh air compared with the sketchy places around the area. The $249 room charge included a $100 deposit and $25 pet fee, so paying $124 felt fantastic for this little gem. The price was fair, and I’d absolutely stay again while passing through Arizona.

The staff made our anniversary trip special. When we mentioned why we were in Tucson, we returned from dinner to a handwritten card, roses, and a bottle of wine. Everyone was kind and went out of their way to help. The hotel is just off I-10 in an industrial part of town, but the property and parking are fenced and gated. Refurbished rooms were very clean, and the pool with loungers and cornhole had a resort feel. The free game room and daily breakfast were nice extras, too. For the reasonable price, all the amenities were well worth it. We loved staying at The Kennedy Hotel and will return next time we’re in Tucson.
