My husband, children, and I stayed here while enjoying a weekend getaway We checked in late Thursday night While going through our bedtime routine with our kids I noticed that the shower was not working well at all

When the tab was pulled the water continue to come out of the bottom tap and so there was almost no water pressure at the shower head I noticed that the tile around the water spicket was cracked as were our mirror sliding doors The room itself was clean The bedding had some piling, but nothing smelled bad and there was no dust There was not a blanket for the pull-out couch bed and we only were given three towels, but that was quickly rectified with a trip downstairs We slept well The blackout curtains work great and there was very minimal noise for being so close to a train track The next morning I mentioned the issue with the shower and they told me they put it in for maintenance and to just leave the “Do not Disturb” off the door and it would be repaired The breakfast was okay, nothing to write home about, the usual waffles, eggs, a breakfast meat-type fair The people running it however were quite lovely The Friday we came back from our activities and the shower still had not been repaired In addition, I noticed one of the light bulbs was out in the bathroom causing a strobe-like effect when it was turned on We went down to the pool and enjoyed swimming for a while The hot tub is not available for use right now The pool is great for kids We got the kids cleaned off and ready for bed and went about our nighttime routine That Saturday I made sure to go back to the front desk and tell them again that the shower was still not working and also the light was out and could they please ask the cleaners to go through the room My children had gotten some crackers on the floor around the bed and I was not able to clean them up completely When we got back on Saturday they had repaired the shower partially It was definitely much more functional The light bulb was still out And while they had made our bed the crackers or still on the ground Sunday morning we checked out The people working were nice and professional The location was ideal for getting around different places in Kansas City The hotel definitely needs to be updated when it comes to repairing some of the things that are broken rather than just patching them

Janet

From check-in to check-out we had a great stay Our room wasn’t fancy, but it was clean and comfortable We both slept well

Breakfast was fresh and proper temperature The lady stocking the breakfast area was very helpful when I had allergen questions about the prepared food Future trips to KC, this will be my first choice for hotels

Jody McLaughlin

The people were very nice The location was fantastic to get to chemo The room itself was a little past its prime

There were black spots on the ceiling and I could not close the drapes because of the heater location The room itself was extremely cleanI did not hear any trains running overnight The breakfast was good and the attendent was very helpful

We loved our experience at The Truitt Hotel! The hotel is small and feels like you are staying at your best friend’s amazingly redecorated historic home We had the honor of staying in the one bedroom suite and our jaws dropped from the first moment opening the door The decor, art and style are impeccable!! The little details such as a handwritten note, local chocolates, espresso machine and snacks made us feel warm and welcome

The outdoor sitting area is SO CUTE as are the library and neon sign in the main house!The main house rooms are just as amazing! Very spacious and stylish! The only thing that made me want to get out of the super comfy bed was the thought of getting into the AMAZING shower We felt pampered and welcomed and will be returning on trips back to KC Thank you so much for creating such a gem!

Allison Domingues

I don’t even know where to start Everything about this place is incredible The historic home is gorgeous, the garden/grounds are magical, and the details and decor are perfection

Ryan and David have thought of every single detail to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable, whether you’re a local staying for one night or whether you’re coming from out of town for a longer stay My husband and I have traveled a lot and have stayed in many places, from small bed and breakfasts to large hotels, and everything in between Staying at The Truitt was one of the best experiences we have EVER had Hands down We will definitely be back and will recommend that all of our out of town friends and family stay there when visiting KC!

Kaela Varberg

The Truitt was the perfect place for our staycation! The check-in was easy and seamless The grounds are beautiful and the main house/guest rooms are unique and inviting We really enjoyed the decor, the comfortable king bed and the nod to local KC vendors in the snack options

The personalized touches including the welcome note, local treats, etc made our stay extra special! Highly recommend if you are looking for a great place to stay in KC!

Thank you Bo for your kindness and gentle smile Bo took excellent care of me and my significant other (Concierge in the Club Lounge) He deserves a raise and a bonus!!❤

Wes Nemec

This is a really nice hotel, only a couple of small issues I wish there was a microwave in the room, and when I arrived my shower drain was super clogged and the first shower I took I was basically standing in standing water at the bottom of the tub That said I did request this maintenance from the front desk and it was taken care of quickly

The shower head wasn’t that nice either, it was spraying water in several different directions, but I got the job done Several other people I was traveling with mentioned that they did not have soap in their room when they arrived, it wasn’t just one person, so that also doesn’t look good I also wish the breakfast menu down the restaurant had a few more options But The Omelette was really good so no worries I suppose Otherwise the look and feel the place is super nice and I’d be happy to stay here again I also forgot my iPhone charger and one of the front desk attendants was actually really helpful in letting me borrow one

Rachel Brown

Hotel stay was great Lexi with sales was GREAT to work with We were with a baseball team and they put all those that scheduled timely on same floor which worked well

Noise was minimal from other guests Rooms are a bit small for families larger than 4, BUT expected when they are attached to conference center and mostly cater to businesses vs an actual family stay Hotel was updated, clean, fresh Super accessible to all things and the highway Our family had dual tournaments…Lenexa and Lee’s Summit it was PERFECT location for both

The rooms were spacious and cozy and definitely worth the price point Stayed one night for a couples’ weekend and the area was clean and quiet Love the setup with glass elevators and a huge central “courtyard” area

Bartender was very kind and conversational and breakfast was good (albeit a bit hectic, but hey, it’s free!)Used the remote key option in the Hilton app and it was AWESOME! So neat to be able to open the door with my phone and do a remote check-in to skip the line

Tanya Burns

Very friendly, clean hotel Upon arrival we were greeted by a gentleman at the front desk He went out of his way, to show us a room, and to be patient as we decided whether to stay

Glad we did! This hotel was clean, and had the most courteous, and friendly staff I have seen in a long time Breakfast was a surprise as it was a hot breakfast with numerous choices Once again, the staff was very courteous and ready to help They seemed sincere and it was refreshing Will stay there again

Megan Switzer

The included breakfast is great Made to order omelets, additional hot food items, as well as fruit, waffles, bagels, and oatmeal The evening reception is a great add, and the bar staff is awesome

The new food menu is full of options that are hard to choose from, and the food actually comes out tasting like a solid restuarant grade meal Very good Rooms are always clean and feel updated even though the hotel is older Location is close to highway and there are lots of other restaurants nearby

Natalie Ellis

I was very underwhelmed by the Fontaine I had hoped it would live up to its “4-star” reputation but it’s way overpriced and needs more updating and maintenanceAn issue I had was that they advertise the prices to appear really low on Google

I was seeing in generic searches $112 a night That is absolutely not going to be the case We recently stayed 2 nights in a basic room and ended up paying $630 (including parking)As others have said, for the price, I would’ve expected more amenities They did have a rooftop bar which was nice, but the rooftop pool is really tiny No spa, very limited dining options, no robes in the rooms, etcThe lobby is nice and the shared facilities look the best But the individual rooms themselves need TLC Chipped paint, scuffs, rusty metal items…again just not what I expected for the star rating and costI don’t mind paying for excellence, but I wouldn’t stay again unless the rate was substantially decreased The value just wasn’t there for me

Ashley Lardino

You are only paying for the convenience of the location The lobby is beautiful and gives the illusion that you are staying at a very high end hotel The staff was very friendly

However, the room is very very basic And as in other reviews, our room was dirty The fridge had not been cleaned and had what looked like chocolate milk all over the inside It was dusty and the floors were dirtyThe only “luxury” was the walk in shower with the rainfall shower headThe rooftop pool was so small and the whole area was cramped It was hard to move around and uncomfortableI would not recommend this hotel if you are wanting a getaway for a special occasion Incredibly over priced for such an under whelming experience

Allen Pepito

Today, I planned a surprise reservation for my boyfriend’s birthday which is not for couple more days I’ve been in contact with Micheal Wallace in preparing for that day He has been kind and quick to respond to All (yes there were multiple interactions) my emails

The Fontaine hotel is mine and my boyfriend’s favorite stay-cation spot We have chosen to stay there 4 times now because of it cleanliness and beautiful rooms They also have an amazing rooftop pool and restaurant/bar The location is incredible since it is close to multiple restaurants and store at the plaza The parking is easy to find in the parking garage which has access to the hotel through an elevator Anyways, the customer service that I’ve receiving from Micheal in just planning this special night has been exceptional I just want to give a BIG THANK YOU to him for everything he has done

Super cute rooms, the common spaces were beautiful although we didn’t really use them for our short stay Parking was easy for my compact car in the back lot, I could see a bigger vehicle having trouble We were able to walk into town pretty easily for dinner

We checked in with a code provided with our reservation so we didn’t interact with any staff during our stay The shower was difficult to figure out how to turn on but got hot easily and had good pressure They provide robes which is very thoughtful I also like that they have a black towel for people who wear makeup, they had a lot of small thoughtful touches I wish they had more rooms with two smaller beds as I was travelling with family but we made it work with a shared king, the bed was huge so it was fine Our room also had a lovely balcony

Juan Leguizamon

Stayed at Southmoreland on the Plaza recently and it was my first time at a bed & breakfast-style lodging The house was in a great location and the rooms were perfectly cozy, it felt like I was home We ran into a few other guests one day and everyone was very friendly

I want to try out a few of the other room options as I’m sure they are just as comfortable Oh, and the bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in We even reached out to the team and asked which mattresses and bedding they used so we can replicate it at home Definitely recommend staying here!

FJ Butter

We had three lovely nights at this inn and were thoroughly impressed! Elegant but still makes you feel right at home Bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed the veranda especially with all its windows over-looking the patio and manicured grounds So close to the plaza, art museum, restaurants and pubs we could walk to

Staff was especially friendly and helpful We will definitely go back again!!

My family and I were looking for a place to stay as a “pit stop” on our road trip from Minnesota to Texas I googled the safest cities near KC and Prairie Village was it! We enjoyed it so much we booked 3 nights on our way back homeOur kids loved fishing on the lake as well as the playgrounds across the way

The staff was friendly and accommodating We liked that a room key is needed to access other floorsRoom was spacious and smelled amazing, the lake view was cozyGreat location, too! We felt right at home

Lindsay “Laweav22” Anne

Beautiful hotel and great property We enjoyed having several options to eat it The market had a grab and go section so a larger fridge or a microwave in the room would’ve been nice

Not a big issue though, would highly recommend There was a large post wedding party at midnight in the room next door and by the time I dialed the front desk they had already resolved the situation which was much appreciated We would definitely stay there again if we’re in the area

Stephanie Erisman

We recently stayed at the Inn at Meadowbrook for around a week and all I can say is that it was absolutely magical in every single way The rooms were gorgeous and extremely comfortable The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were having a wonderful stay

The amenities were amazing and the food options were delectable The staff made us feel completely at home and even brought out small gifts for my toddler who was over the moon It was simply magical and we will never forget our stay! We have many staycations already in the works for the upcoming months and we couldn’t be more excited I would absolutely recommend this hotel to everyone, its top notch and you will have the best time ever!

It’s a little further away from Country Club Plaza but I don’t mind driving 20-25 min to get there I enjoy having a small kitchen with my king bed studio Highly recommend staying here!Stuart and the other front desk lady were super friendly and courteous!

Deona Sherrill

We had recently had to stay at a hotel for a little over a month due to water damage and this place did not disappoint The units are clean, had up to date decor and were very comfortable The staff was excellent! Very friendly and helpful

The daily breakfast was amazing Fresh, hot waffles, bacon, sausage and eggs plus a large selection of cereal, fruit and pastries What more could you ask for?! The on site laundry was free to use! I know, free!! There was a very nice gym and a nice indoor pool They really made our stay comfortable and happy A refreshing change from the horror of the Ameristar but that’s a different review Lol

Michelle Calais

Clean hotel with friendly staff There is 1 major issue: the indoor pool The tile around the pool is crazy slippery! Someone is going to get hurt badly

Walking very slowly and carefully was still very difficult to keep from slipping and falling Please put a coating on the floor before a disaster happens I managed hotels for many years and had to do this myself when the wrong tile was laid in a new construction Other than that, the pool area is very clean and adequate pool towels provided We will definitely be back but will bring water shoes! 😉

Overall great experience The Front Desk was great and even helped locate us a few places to go I got a corner room and it was clean & nice

I actually used my point for the stay which was 30,000 I had drinks at the bar and it was a nice environment although the server was very busy So patience is encouraged The next morning, I enjoyed coffee and working from a high top table in the lounge

Debbie Johnson-Hicks

My room was 1211- directly across I guess the laundry or cleaning room That door stayed open the entire time I was there It continuously sounded as if someone was coming in my room, because of the air I guess

However whenever someone was in there you can hear them clearly into the room as if they are at your door It was not as if they were loud on purpose, its was the lack of sound proof provided in the room The carpet was coming apart as you walk into the room The bottom of shower had a scum stain After pulling back the sheets on one side there was a cluster of snags I staff was super nice and servicing Restaurant was nice even while training new staff members The only thing room service charged me 795 for a glass of tea which came out of a bottle Restaurant gave me the bottom and glass of ice, tacky and super up charged on the drink Front desk was generous to provide a cookie everyday with a smile Sauna and gym was clean and nice Parking was horrible, trashy not sure if someone comes out there an clean up Cant say I was 60% satisfied

Kelly Ann

Great service at check in Little black short hairs on bed & long brown hair on toilet seat & bathroom floor upon check in & paint cracking around drain in bathtub made me wish I had shower flip flops Other than that room appeared clean and in decent shape

Very ugly curtains Comfortable bed Popcorn ceilings Elevators doors close very quickly and have poor motion sensor – watched a older gentleman get squished in the doors, thankfully he wasn’t hurt

Christine Muehe

The room and bathroom were beautiful, spacious, and very clean The bed in the Valentine room is a low platform bed, which was fine for us The mattress is very soft, so if you have a bad back, I would suggest one of their other lovely rooms instead

There is a mini refrigerator that works really well! They have 2 stemless wine glasses, an opener, and 2 glass coffee cups in the room, so no need to bring your own The ambience is romantic and the location is superb I highly recommend

William Stamper

Stayed for 3 nights in the Southmoreland and really liked the room Nice size, nice amenities, and a wonderful balcony to sit and relax on Two complaints: (1) the Nelson-Atkins museum was closed both days we were there (bummer), and (2) we couldn’t stay longer

Loved the room, loved the grounds, loved the park/ museum proximity Next time we’re in town, we’ll book hereRecommendation: add a recycle container outside the staff area…

Heidi DeSchepper

We stayed here to celebrate my daughter’s 13th birthday It was me, my mom, and my daughter It was absolutely perfect! We stayed in the Westwood I and II and they were so clean and comfy

The bathroom was beautiful and huge! The owners were so kind and accommodating Such a beautiful home and so close to the plaza and art museum I can’t wait to come back and stay with my husband Highly recommend!

I wish I could give this place more stars, but the breakfast was underwhelming They’re still serving COVID-style grab n-go sandwiches and cereal foods, when a DC restaurant I just stayed at is a fully open buffet style The milk was frozen, and options limited

The rooms were very very nice and I would still recommend staying here

Hotel is nice enough, but getting here right now is a pain The exist off the higheay is closed, so you have to go down one more and come back up through a street with like 6 roundaboutsLobby is nice, reception was okay

Will update after breakfast tomorrowWeird stain/dirt on couchI think a 4-star review is adequate, but pushing lower

I called the next day to get one and was told, “I’m busy I’ll send it later” It never got sent Called again I was told “I just sent it,” but he didn’t ask if I received it which I did not Called back the next day (third time) and once again asked for email confirmation and she sent it right then and asked if I’d received it I had it in my in box within 30 seconds2 Room had ants in the bathroom3 The toilet tank had a drip which kept my husband awake all night4 The bathtub drained really slow5 Upon checkout we reported the problems listed in #2-4 and the staff member stared at me as I was telling her the issues She smiled and said we’ll take care of it but never wrote anything down or typed anything in the computer just helped the next person in line after us My husband and I looked at each other and said, “Well that won’t get taken care of”The good:1 Easy check-in/check-out2 Clean room other than the ants3 Good breakfast as far as free hotel breakfasts go4 Comfortable bed

Unique, clean, excellent hospitality There are many words to describe our stay here but those are three that stand out From the fresh peach jalapeño jelly on our bagel, to the Egyptian cotton sheets, to our private bathroom, the little tea cups for coffee and our robes

What a special time we had Every detail so well thought out We had breakfast in our carriage house suite at our breakfast bar when it was brought to us It was so romantic and special The fresh salsa on the omelette was superb, and the service – in this day and age, you don’t find hospitality like it is done here It was easy, smooth, efficient and we had everything we needed Even extra pillows at our leisure We enjoyed every second THANK YOU so much for making us feel special on our stay-cation What a fantastic little gem

Best staff ever!! Rooms were comfortable, they even had a comfy roll out that we used with everything in the cabinet Huge bathroom, set up for three people, enough towels and tea tree shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the shower The shower head had different settings

The only con for our room was it needed and extra mirror

We stayed 2 nights and recieved no maid service while we were there You have to stay 3 nights or longer forFresh towels, trash removal or clean sheets! I asked for clean towels at the desk, he seemed put out to even get up

There were hockey teams that could not keep quiet Kids running everywhere I wish the hotel could put adults that want quiet in one area We won’t be back

Conveniently located next to 435 and Shawnee-Mission, after a week of vacationing with the kids my wife and I were excited to have a weekend getaway in Shawnee Unfortunately this hotel was really lacking compared to other Marriotts I’ve visitedWe got a couple’s suite just down the hall from the front desk

The bar was not operational, which was not made known when booking the stay The breakfast was subpar as well, not offering what was advertised online Their reasoning was covid which seemed to be an easy scapegoat After ordering our drinks, we watched as a couple other customers walked up, ordered, got their beverages, and then left Finally realized they were just not making our order so I had to go ask where our drinks were and they said they forgot themOnly one jet in the room’s jacuzzi was operationalThe front desk does sell individual beer and one of the beers they sell is locally made in KCMO I wish I would have taken a picture because it was delicious and I would totally give them a shoutoutI’ve had some amazing experiences at Marriott hotels, this just wasn’t one of them
