The hotel is part of the Plaza in midtown Kansas CIty. Close to over 30 resturants and shopping. The staff was very polite and paid attention to detail. When checking in a requested room type was not listed and they worked magic to get me the type of room I wanted. The rooms were comfortable but a little tight on... more

Your feedback will be shared with the appropriate members of our Team so that additional training may be provided. Thank you for...

The Intercontinental was great. Before I arrived, the concierge was very helpful on the phone with car service & restaurant recs. Day of, I arrived from the airport at 9:30 AM and they were able to give me a room, despite check in being at 3 PM. Wake up calls were prompt and housekeeping brought a shower cap to my... more

Our week-end on the Plaza for the Art Show was a combination full of energy, fun, and beautiful weather. Staying at the Intercontinental Hotel is so convenient and a perfect location that is close to everything. All of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful starting with Robin and Angela at the front desk. I would highly recommend staying on... more

I found the hotel staff over the phone to be rude and completely inconsiderate. I called looking for a wedding party staying at the hotel and my call was passed on to multiple employees, all of which were rude, and non-helpful. I expect more from a premier hotel on the plaza. I am extremely disappointed and will never stay there. more

I was having a girls' weekend on the Plaza and our room at The Sheraton wasn't available due to overbooking. They sent us to the Intercontinental and paid for our room and taxes (yay!) Our room was absolutely beautiful. Obviously remodeled. The only complaint was that there is no place to put hairdryers and curling/flat irons in the bathroom due... more

I've stayed here through name changes - back to being called Alemeda. LOVE the hotel, love the balcony overlooking the Plaza. Love the location. Stay there a lot. This time it was a priceline bid, and we stole the room. Best part was the service. From the moment we arrived EVERYONE was super. We upgrade the room (easy and cheap).... more

We booked a suite as an overnight getaway before the kids went back to school. When we checked in, we were told there were no suites available, and were put in a room with two queen beds. They brought us a rollaway because there were five of us and we were crammed in the room, wall to wall people, not... more

Recently renovated with a 15 million dollar makeover (after it was bought from the Fairmont), this hotel is a real gem. Large clean rooms, spacious bathrooms, comfy beds, great views, and convenient located. However, it is the staff that makes it special with their friendly, helpful and professional service. I go to Kansas City once a month and will not... more

This place does have a great location, but the hotel is falling apart and the service is non-existent. We stayed in a junior suite and it was roomy and the tv's were nice, but they probably should've spent the money on the showerhead. Or maybe they could've cleaned our room before 6:30 p.m.? I don't think it counts as turn... more

The best thing about this hotel is the location. You are right in the middle of the Kansas City Plaza area, which has great shopping and restaurants. It only goes downhill from there. When we arrived at the hotel, it appeared nice enough, but it was old and looked like it needed some renovations. We weren't going to complain about... more
