“Wonderful Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2013

I love this hotel. Was my second time staying. First time was a couple years ago with my daughter as we had attended a concert at the Sprint Center. This time was an anniversary weekend with my husband. The staff are all nice and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. We had a great view of the Power and Light district only downfall was how loud the music was at night when trying to sleep, I think next time I will ask for a room away from that side as when I was there with my daughter we never heard the music. We did eat breakfast there both days and the food was good and the staff very nice. We also ate dinner one night at the restaurant which was very good and our waiter, Andrew, was wonderful! We also enjoyed a couple drinks in the Drum Room. I can't wait to go back I have yet to be disappointed in the service there.

Room Tip: If your older like me and not out partying all night you may want to ask for a room not facing the P...

“Great Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013 via mobile

Just spent a night at the hotel on 03/09/13. We booked this hotel based on our trip agenda which included a concert at the Sprint Center. The hotel check-in went very smooth along with the valet parking which cost $18.00 but well worth it. The Sprint Center in only a 5-10 minute walk which makes the stay even more valuable. The hotel is clean and the rooms decent sized. We didn't eat at the restaurant so I cannot tell you how it was. We tried Jack Stack BBQ for dinner which was good but overpriced in my opinion. A taxi cab ride from the hotel to the restaurant cost $5.00 each way. The front desk and valet parking attendant were all cordial and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to others and will stay there again when back in the area!

Thanks for the "great stay" review. The hotel is really located in an exceptional location for so many activities. A quick walk to the Sprint Center, and we are proud to be the only hotel in the Power and Light Entertainment District. Thanks for the visit and we look forward to seeing you again in the future!

“Elegant, Historic, Clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 6, 2013

Great friendly staff that treated me as a valued client, large comfortable room including a large bathroom, great breakfast again with a great staff (my coffee and water was never empty), front desk people were very helpful, I was attending a conference and the conference rooms and service were outstanding also. I never got a chance to check out the bar but it looked cool and I will try it next time

“Snowed in with good results!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2013

I was attending a convention and became snowed in by a snow storm. The hotel was clean and fresh despite being a historic property. The staff were helpful and were ready to handle issues from snowed in customers. I would saty here again without hesitation. I did have two points of concern. First, the valet service was spotty and unorganized. We had to wait just to find the valet. When I arrived, i was hoping for a bellman since I had a great deal of luggage. I found the valet but no offer for my bags, so i made it work. Secondly, since I had many questions over the stay, the staff at the front desk were for the most part helpful and friendly but there were a least two staff members who did not reflect the good service the others provided. I felt more of a bother to them than a guest. But due to the storm, i expected some bumps in the road. Also, the Drum Room was an excellent experience!

Thanks for the review, it certainly was a difficult time during the snow storm, but I am pleased we provided you a nice warm stay. Point taken about the valet parking and we will certainly look into the dates and circumstances that could have contributed to slow delivery times. Please look us up again for future visits to Kansas City!

“Fine Historic Property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

Staff friendly and helpful during a snowstorm that shut down the city. There was quite a bit of street noise from snow removal equipment even from a high (10th) floor. Food better than average. Quirky layout with lots of steps and ramps....I guess this would be expected with a historic property. Valet/bellman not always present. Carpet getting a little worn and a little mold in shower. I would definitely stay again but I would probably ask to see the room first!
