My wife and I came for a weekend stay to celebrate her birthday as well as my granddaughter's first. Check in was smooth and efficient courtesy of Tashae. She assisted us throughout our stay leaving a lounge gift card and arranging the hotel's shuttle service for dinner later that even which is a real plus for me serving the Plaza neighborhood. We were pleased with our room on the sixth floor and had positive interactions with everyone we interacted with. Did not make it to the gym or the rooftop but we will have this property high on our list on our next visit to KC. Our only issues were worn out pillows which detracted from the nice bed and the confusing signage in the underground parking lot.

We have stayed at and enjoyed this hotel numerous times over the last few years. This was the first stay with multiple concerns. Experienced two Elevator malfunctions, had to request hangers for closet and a trash can twice before they arrived. Had to request body wash for shower 3 times. Sink in bathroom was backed up and had to be unstopped. Keycard to room failed and had to have battery replaced by maintenance. Mattress was horribly stained. Coffee? Pee? Another body fluid? All this in room 221. I will likely look elsewhere for next trip to KC.

Long wait to check in. Later in the evening the elevator wasn’t working. Little or no direction from staff. Water in room was only luke warm, not hot. We will not stay here again. This is the second time we’ve had issues with this hotel. We really wanted to like it…great location; good bar…but we will not be back.
