“We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Kennedy House, and were very grateful for (the owner) Dominque’s kindness. We hope to stay again in the future. The location is great, our room was superb.”

“I had a wonderful stay at Kennedy House! It is definitely not a corporate hotel like the Hilton, and I mean that as a huge compliment. This is a beautiful historic building with plenty of character, charm, and unique quirks. I stayed in the King Suite, which featured a wonderful private patio with an incredible view. The room was well-equipped with a sink, mini-fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. Downstairs, there is a fantastic restaurant and bar. Prospective guests should note that Kennedy House closes at 11:00 PM, and there is no staff on-site overnight. However, this just added to the wonderful community feel of the property. It is perfectly located right in the center of all the action, and I will absolutely return!”

“What a great dining feast!. Was strolling the town and came across a wonderful patio at the Kennedy House Inn. Menu pricing and offerings was very fair. But in turn, it was especially great as happy hour 3-5 offers any brand beer pitchers for $15. Mussells were specially offered as buy 1 lb, get 1 lb free @$12 and included a plate of fries. I had The lobster roll package which was substantial, includes a great seafood chowder. Try the lobster dinner, a great deal with lots of add ones. Fish and chips were delicious. But overall, it was the server, Chinee, who was so attentive that made our experience so great. Thank you. Tomorrow's happy hour special is 1 lb wings, get 1 lb free... great reason to revisit!”

“We had a very nice family dinner for our 40th anniversary. The owner did the extra to make this a memorable event. From the tasty Belgian style cuisine to the warm and welcoming atmosphere all was perfect. The owner even brought a live lobster to the delight of the grandkids.”
