Stayed for 3 nights for a business trip and hotel was located 5 min walk from where I needed to be.
The famous Power and Light District is only a couple of blocks away. Just for orientation, the Marriott and Crowne Plaza are steps away. The Crowne Plaza seems to be still undergoing renovations as evidenced by the big disposal bin outside their parking garage.

Checked in late and the clerk was very friendly and gave me a room on the 14th floor.
Nice older art-deco style hotel and nicely renovated. Ceilings in hallway seemed a little low but the room ceiling height was normal.
The room with a queen bed was a little smaller than I expected but I guess that this being an older building that some of the rooms are small. Other than that, the furnishings and bed were fine; nice ergonomic desk chair at the desk and there is Internet Wifi and ethernet that is sometimes faster than the Wifi connection. Room was quiet and could not hear my neighbours.

The hotel restaurant seems okay with the usual overpriced egg omelets but service was quick and friendly. I only had breakfast there. There is a small bar/lounge on the second floor overlooking the lobby.

My only gripes for the stay were:
1. No stationary in the room (not a big deal) but I needed to post a letter. I went down to the front and asked a young lady if she had a letter envelope. They were not busy, but she took her time finishing her conversation with her colleague and she was dismissive when she said she didn't have any envelopes. She didn't even bother checking the back office. You will always run into indifferent staff and she was definitely one of them!

2. I needed a wake-up call for 6 am to catch my flight home. I called the front desk to set this up, but someone programmed a 3 am wake-up! Grrr!

Just a couple of minor annoyances but otherwise a comfortable stay.

I didn't have a car but the Aladdin has valet parking that is extra above your room rate.

I booked my mid-week stay on the ichotels website and got the same rate that the other travel websites were requiring full advanced payment for.

All in all I would stay there again and recommend it to others.

I stayed at the hotel for a night in the Power and Light district and had a great time. I've since stayed a few more times and had a great experience. Champagne when you check in was nice and really impressed my girlfriend. The location is perfect, walking distance to the bars. I've stayed a couple times since and walked to events at the Midtown and Sprint Center.

Once the front desk associate was a little slow and seemed lost for a bit. I told him I was in a bit of a rush since we were running late for a show and he offered to hold onto my car keys and wait for valet in order to allow me to get ready. I was able to leave and pick them up when I was coming back through. He was also willing to take pictures of me with my date as we were dressed up. Great personality.

On first view of the building, my date thought it looked old and wouldn't be nice. Once inside, she saw that it had some style and was really impressed.

My husband and I stayed here back in June to get away together for our anniversary. It was an amazing experience, the hotel had an awesome charm about it and the staff was WONDERFUL!!! I had a massage and facial at the spa, reasonably price and I enjoyed all of it. the rooms were very modernly decorated and the bed was quite comfortable and the room offered a great view of downtown. We had the 2 night w/ breakfast package and it was good, scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, juice, the usual.

  • Liked — The champagne toast upon check in.
  • Disliked — Having to leave.

I have had two occasions to stay at this small boutique hotel and both times have been pleasantly surprised. The rooms, though small, have everything you need, free internet, great desk space, trendy colors, and comfy pillows and towels. Simple things like coffee, tea, and bathroom toiletries round out the pleasant stay.
This trip I tried the room service and it was timely, the food hot, and unbelievably delicious. Great job. These folks are doing it right. If traveling on business its so close to downtown you can walk everywhere and the Power and Light district is also close. Truly a nice hotel, at a great price

My husband and I chose this hotel for a romantic one-night getaway in KC (we live about an hour and a half away). This hotel is in a great location in KC and by far is the best rate for the money in downtown. I loved this hotel. The boutique hotel was decorated very chic and appealing to the eye. The only downsides I see to this hotel are the fact that it is small, but for two people it was fine, and the parking situation. If you stay at this hotel, know that you will have to pay for parking either in the garage across the road (which is very accessible UNLESS there is something going on in Municiple Auditorium or the Music Hall) or pay for the valet. Neither of these "negatives" turned us off of the Aladdin however and when we travel to KC again, we will definitely consider staying here again.
