Dependable, comfortable at a great location
Pros:

Had the good fortune to return to the Hotel Phillips, our favorite hotel in Kansas City. This hotel never disappoints especially with the excellent service. We had to depart earlier than anticipated and the staff was very accommodating with the change in reservation. You can't beat this historic hotel for a convenient downtown location.

Service, like no other.
Pros:

Hotel Phillips - went beyond any expectation I had for this property -- and it was the valet staff; Caleb and Matt. Their dedication to a stranger, not even a guest, speaks to the type of service they provide.
By rescuing a floral delivery meant for me that was delivered, across the street from Hotel Phillips Kansas City and left on the sidewalk/outside, Matt and Caleb found a way to contact me, and then, THEN made sure I had a sweet treat alongside my flowers to celebrate the occasion. I am grateful and will be thrilled to thank them again when I make our reservation for an upcoming special event and recommend Hotel Phillips for our out-of-town friends.
Thank you, Matt and Caleb. I so appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness.

Excellent Valet
Pros:

Brock is an excellent valet who took very good care of us while we visited the Hotel Philips, a lovely old hotel downtown.

Edmund made everything great!
Pros:

I loved hotel Phillips! Yeah sure it’s dated (and I heard it is getting a renovation very soon) but I didn’t mind that. The AC got cold, rooms were sizable, elevator was quick, restaurant was nice, loved the streaming options.

Most importantly, I loved Edmund! He was so funny and nice and made our stay delightful.

5/5 will stay here when I come back!

We will never stay here again.
Pros:

The building itself is beautiful on the inside. It's old, it's cool, and it's ultimately what drew us here. The bedding was superb, beautiful pillows down in Comforter, and the view from the top is great.

Cons:

The hotel is dirty and not just because it's old because the staff is either understaffed or not been trained in proper cleaning but you know it's kind of gross and then the room we stayed in only had one coffee pod and I sent message down to the front desk that we needed another coffee pod at least since there were two of us and another blanket and the person at the front desk said that they would let housekeeping know and lo and behold nobody came by with extra coffee and nobody came by with an extra blanket the whole night passed and into the next morning still no contact from the staff disappointed not a big task to get somebody two pods of coffee when you know there are two people staying in the room. There's no parking nearby, so you could either spend $40 to have your car parked by the valet or a park in a lot around the corner for like $30 total ripoff. What do you do when you have to carry all your stuff up to the room? city blocks with your pillows and your bags and take all these trips.

Cozy, peaceful, 1920s gangsta vibes.
Pros:

It was super clean and I lost the garden tub in the corner rooms on the higher floors! It’s super hard to find hotels like that anymore!

Cons:

I would recommend eating off property, the drinks are either way too sugary or too strong and they do not know what chicken piccata is. 35 dollars for an over cooked chicken breast and some weird creamy truffle sauce instead of the traditional lemon sauce from frying the chicken cutlets.

Pros:

I did like the staff at check in. She was friendly.

Cons:

The lie about the cost of the hotel. It was actually more than I was told by booking.com. The bathroom toilet looked like it has not been cleaned. There was grim in the shower and even on the floor. That will be the last time I stay there or use booking.com.

Pros:

The looks of the hotel. Everything worked. Rooms felt cozy and very sound proof like no one else there. The view was great.

Cons:

The price of room, with no refrigerator in the room, cold coffee, no choices on coffee creamer, no continental breakfast. AND NO PARKING ANYWHERE EXCEPT EXPENSIVE PARKING GARAGE OR VALET PARKING FOR$42. The staff was just there not friendly just there.

Pros:

Hotel Philips was a nice historical hotel. I enjoyed the quietness of the hotel and the aesthetics of the building. It seemed that many of the original hardware are still a part of the decor, which I enjoyed. The staff (Sean and Edward) were professional, friendly, and accommodating. Also, I like that there was the Tavernonna, Italian kitchen restaurant that was in the hotel.

Cons:

The hotel room was dusty not just dust from a day or two or weekly fabric fibers or dirty, but dust that had settled around the edges of the carpet, pictures, table legs, and baseboard that had not been cleaned. After being notified of this issue, the room was vacuumed, but I did the dusting myself. Aside from that issue, the hotel was good and it lived up to being a historical hotel.

$270 for one night is too high priced for the quality. The rooms are pretty average,.
Pros:

Location is good.

Cons:

Our room was warm and we couldn't get the AC to cool. We like it cool and set the thermostat at 68, but never got below 72. Stuffy for us "cool" sleepers
