American Motel stay Kansas City

I did have an issue where my reservation was made from a third party company. I'm mistakenly chose one day later instead of the current day to extend my stay. However it would have been nice for them to understand that my reservation was confirmed and just simply utilize that to continue my current stay. However, I had to still go back to the third party company to change my reservation which was a bit tedious. Other than that they themselves did a great job at helping me. The pillows are not very sturdy which I like sturdy pillows so I had to use three to feel good. Other than that I was satisfied at the level I expected.

Check in room awhile. Lots of road noise in my room. Getting to the hotel not easy. Dark and rough road. motel itself was very dated. Room had significant wear. I guess I got what I paid for. As it was very inexpensive

The property was clean and the room I stayed I for three days, was also up to the cleaning standards. Motel staff were kind and helped when needed. The price was also cheaper than most. But you will need a vehicle if you stay there. Unless you like to Uber or Lift.

We checked in and there were lots of tweakers around the hotel. Stuff on the walls and bugs in the shower. Had a bad feeling and didn’t end up staying. As soon as we pulled out 3 cops came in. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

This was the dirtiest motel I’ve ever encountered. The staff was incredibly rude. I didn’t even stay there because of the sketchy activity in the parking lot, the frightening people staying there, and the filth. And I was refused a refund by the hateful employees!!! I was in the room less than an hour. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!
