    I recently stated here with my high school basketball team for games in the KC area over Christmas break. Nicole & her staff went above & beyond with their service & accommodation for our large group. We will be back the next time we play in the KC area!!

    Walking distance from AT&T Center and downtown restaurants and attractions. Also close to the Kansas City Convention Center. Clean rooms and full complementary breakfast.

    Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Close to the T-Mobile and power and light district which has a decent selection of bars and restaurants.

    My experience at this establishment was extremely disappointing. The rate I was quoted was $108, yet my final bill totaled $188.30 with added fees that were never clearly communicated. Additionally, I was surprised to be charged for parking. Regardless of being located downtown, a hotel should provide transparent pricing and include basic accommodations such as parking for its guests. I spoke with a manager who confirmed a specific rate during our conversation, but the amount I was ultimately charged was significantly different from what we agreed upon. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to trust the pricing practices here. In comparison, my experiences with Best Western have consistently been straightforward and free of unexpected charges.

    Very clean and comfortable rooms and facilities overall. Beautiful, nicely decorated, historic building. Complimentary cookies downstairs are quite good. Tram is a short walk away and so are some restaurants and attractions. Nice view from my room, and I was able to do laundry time with quarters which was very convenient. Everyone at the front desk was polite and helpful. My only complaint is the elevator is a bit slow, but it is an old building so that isn't too surprising. There are two elevators, though, and I prefer to take the stairs when I can, anyway. Would definitely stay here again.
