Way Better than the Average Chain Hotel
Pros:

Location was great. We'd been traveling all week throughout the midwest, staying at similar hotels, but this was by far the best hotel we stayed at. We needed an accessible room and our room met all our needs. Breakfast was above average for a "free breakfast". Everything seemed new and in great shape.

Cons:

Nothing

Nice facility and I would definitely book it again.
Pros:

Location was great. Clean and friendly.

Cons:

Pretty loud in the hall Saturday evening after 10 pm. The mattress on one bed has a significant low spot one one side. Simple fix, I just moved to the other bed.

Room was spacious and comfortable.

10/10 would recommend.
Pros:

Close to being the best hotel in Kansas City. Furniture was great, the feeling of the room was quite hospitable. The Breakfast items in the morning were okay. The staff were nice.

Cons:

This is just nitpicking but I wish the breakfast lasted past 10:30 AM on weekdays. Some of us like to Sleep in. Other than that, no complaints.
