This hotel was probably pretty nice about 10 years ago, it looks like it has gone through some kind of low budget renovation with painted tile And that kind of thing. The carpet did not look new and the place had a terrible smell of spray disinfectant. It's about the same price as many other Hotels in the area and for me, I would probably look around. The guy at the front desk Was absolutely fantastic, He was there when I arrived at 8:00 PM and he was still there when I left at 9:00 AM with the same amount of energy. If the entire hotel was as good as the guy at the front desk, this could be the Ritz. Breakfast average for this kind of hotel. I stay in lots of hotels, and you can get a much. Nicer place for the same money.

Great location, about 15 to 20 minutes away from almost anything in either Kansas City. The staff was great, the breakfast was a little above average for a free hotel breakfast.
The hotel was still overpriced as the beds were comfortable but felt old, the room was muggy until the AC was turned up high, the tiny pool was closed, the exercise room was tiny and the ice machine is broken.
