I don't normally like to leave bad reviews, but very disappointed in this hotel. Booked it because of good reviews and a pool. Pool was closed for maintenance all three days and room needed to be cared for. Chipped paint, torn carpet, torn couch, cobwebs, mildew on the window shade. None of the ice machines worked, key cards stopped working multiple times, which the staff blamed on cell phones, but we kept them isolated after the first time and it continued to happen. Staffing seemed sparse as well. We will stay somewhere else next time we are in KC.

My husband and I were in the hotel for 4 nights over Thanksgiving. The room was good. Our TV was messed up and after 2 calls to the front desk, with no help, my husband was able to fix it. The hot breakfast could use some variety. The offering was fried cubed potatoes, sausage links, a 'fried egg', biscuits, and gravy. The gravy was cold 3 days in a row 15 minutes after breakfast started. The staff said that one of the warmers didn't work as well as the other. I asked "why it wasn't hot to begin with?" I didn't get an answer. On Saturday there was scrambled eggs, but all other options were the same. Pool was closed for maintenance. For the price & location, it was 'okay'.

We only spent the night and then took the 4am shuttle to the airport so didn’t do much more than sleep. We paid to leave our car at the hotel for our trip. Hopefully that works out good. Left too early for the breakfast, so can’t rate it. We will stay again if we get a chance.

This place was horrible. The pictures online clearly showed it had a bar. Bar was shut down. Then the pool was closed for maintenance. No warning, no notification, nothing. Then the last thing (and this is inexcusable!) ALL THREE ICE MAKERS IN THE ENTIRE HOTEL WERE BROKEN!!!! Are you kidding?!?!? How does that happpen?!?! For what I paid I will be demanding a full refund. This place was beyond a joke.
