We had a nice two-night stay here while in Kansas City for basketball games at Homefield Courts. It’s the perfect mid-level hotel for anyone looking for great value—we really didn't want to spend a fortune on lodging while traveling for basketball, and this was an excellent choice. The room was the perfect retreat from the extreme heat—the air conditioning worked incredibly well, and the beds were very comfortable. We also appreciated the hotel’s quiet, peaceful location. Everything was booked through Expedia at a very reasonable price, and we would definitely choose to stay here again for future trips to the courts!

Really Small hotel. Clean and does have a small breakfast selection. You can never go wrong with waffles,sausage, eggs, apple or orange juice, selections of teas and bagels and muffins. Nice staff and close to States Ave. Felt safe as a single traveler as well. Close to quick bites and the highway. Will recommend!

Hardly any staff in sight , old and outdated, not very clean. Best I can say is the linens were clean. Pool was closed for maintenance. Some sketchy looking people staying there and always smoking right outside the entrance. We were only there one night so it was tolerable but I wouldn’t stay there again.

No front desk people to ask for help. Had to check in at a kiosk. Pool was closed our entire stay. Our bathroom ceiling leaked on our heads when we sat on the toilet. A biker gang took over the entire parking lot and set up chairs and hung out in front of the door to the hotel all night revving their engines and there was no attendant on site to monitor things.

Little disappointed that the pool was still closed, but the staff, as always is so nice. Even without the pool I give this hotel a 10. 😊 We travel quite a bit, and most budget hotels, this one exceeds all the others.
