Not what it used to be

Guest rooms require major dusting. Tile ledge in shower not dusted in weeks, picture frames the same. Continental Breakfast..pancake maker out of order according to dog eared hand written sign with no date. There was something round in a case...eggs? I intended to get coffee, but housekeeping and maintenance staff were having a conversation in front of the coffee machine and I got tired of waiting.

perfect location for us

We wanted to be in the downtown area and this was perfect. It was clean and the desk clerk gave us a city map. We ate at Jazz which was very close. It was a great Cajun restaurant

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Right outside the front door to the left there is a cool little bar joint named the Flea Market which is a great place to get a beer and unwind. If you turned to the right outside the front door and walk up the street, there's a great restaurant on teh left with outdoor dining and food that is great.

Good Value

This was an "ok" place. If you are out for a ballgame and come back to the hotel after 9pm, good luck finding a place to park. The hotel shares its lots with a very popular bar which is located right across the parking lot. We had to parking 2 blocks away in a residential neighborhood. The bathrooms need upgrading (no exhaust fan or overhead lighting). the beds are too soft but I will say it was a very quiet nights sleep on the 6th floor.

Stayed for a wedding

Some friends and I stayed here while attending a wedding at the Loretto. Great location in downtown KC near Westport and the Plaza. Very close to bars, restaurants and grocery stores. The room was very clean and the staff was friendly. We didn't spend a lot of time in the room but I would rate it very highly.

Great location/stay for the price.

I was hesitant to go with this hotel after reading some of the reviews but I'm glad I did. We knew we weren't going to be getting what we got at the Westin therefore, we didn't have high expectations when we arrived. We got exactly what we expected & it did the job. I mean, we weren't there to hang out in our hotel all day so we wanted to get something reasonably priced. The room was clean, beds were comfortable, A/C was great (didn't have to turn it on while we were in the room since the room stayed pretty cool), the breakfast was good & they had a lot of variety, and the staff was very friendly/helpful. I also read about the parking situation. It's really not that bad. There's a decent sized parking lot behind both establishments and we didn't have trouble finding a spot all 3 days we were there. It's minutes away from the Country Club Plaza which I LOVED. Great shopping and food. It was beautiful. Museums are close by as well. All in all, great stay. If you're looking for a place to stay that isn't horrible but isn't the best of the best, stay here. The negative reviewers are either too picky for what they signed up for or just had bad luck.

Good value for the price.

The rooms were big, the bed was comfortable, not the best stay ever but pretty good for under $100.

Nightlife tip: Short walk from hotel

There is a nice little nightlife area about 3 blocks away with multiple solid choices for food and drink. Plus there were bands playing in about half of the bars.
