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
