My friend and I would stay there again since getting lodging in KC is such a crap shoot!!!
Pros:

Some of your staff were user friendly, some not so much.

Breakfast was "ok". The addition of REAL eggs, not powdered, bacon and waffles would take it to a new level.

Cons:

I wish the prices on things were more reasonable!! $2 for ra 12 oz. soda is C R A Z Y.

Adequate for a short stay.
Pros:

location - easy in and out, close to where we needed to be

Cons:

Winter dirty, rooms and hallways - no soaps, dispensers empty, batteries low in thermostat so had no heat, they did provide a space heater but it tripped the breaker which they fixed. Beds were showing wear, bouncy and lumpy. Shower was still good, plenty of hot water. Unfortunately, this stay was less than satisfactory. All previous stays were really pleasant. Breakfast was to previous high standards. Not sure if it was because of the promo price or not, but the staff did not offer upgrades, and didn’t seem to know what to do about the condition of the facility.

Overall good
Pros:

Check in was great, the location is great, housekeeping did a good job and the beds were comfortable.

Cons:

Breakfast was good the first day but not the second. The air in the room does not work. It blows but if you turn it to a certain temperature it does not change, its almost as if it is controlled by one unit for the whole building.
