I have been here for literally 25 minutes and I am so happy! Emma was so sweet checking me in, making me laugh after a long day of work Check was smooth and she told me everything I needed to know Room looks tidy, great city view and looks very modern for a residence inn

Valet parking was so calm, I actually left my phone in the car and the gentleman at the desk quickly grabbed it for me I was so nervous but he worked fast! Thank your team so much I am happy to be here!

Timothy Betts

Amazing location and Front desk staffThe front desk staff was next level, always smiling and welcoming even though I was there for a 34 days, always had great recommendations and willing to help3 star rating comes from my room not being turned over after repeated requests

I had requests or pickup new towels myself Housekeeping at this location was horrible The one time my room was addressed it was not actually cleaned They took out the trash and made my bed with the same linen (There was Covid mask in between the sheets when I got in bed that evening) The young lady at the front desk in the afternoons (Sorry, I don’t remember your name) was delightful (made want to take trip to Tennessee) and the Chandra at the bar made paying 14 -12 $ for a glass of almost okEasy to walk find something to do from this location but it has its upside and downsidesWhere ever you travel Enjoy it

Bill Ingalls

The staff at this hotel is horrible Clerk lied to us We checked in and the A/C in our room didn’t work in 100 degree weather

We were told we could move if we want Most better hotels would have their staff do the moving in that case No offer Treated very rudely She told us points we be added to our loyalty account Never happened

Mary Lou Hughes

The rooms are lovely and the staff is very pleasant accommodating The young woman who checked us in made sure we had the exact room our grandsons fell in love with during our last stay The boys have chosen the Westin as their favorite place to stay in KC

The food was delicious and the restaurant manager went out of her way to make sure we were able to be seated during a very busy time The valet was very helpful and attentive There is nothing we didn’t love about our stay there See you again next year!

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any room This site will compare thousands of booking web sites and usually will have rooms a lot cheaper compared to others! You’re welcome :)! This hotel is one of the best in this area

I’ve been staying here for years If you decide to stay here you definitely won’t be let downMy experience attending Westin is always so great I work at the hospital near by and sick children still need me to go yo work no matter what the weather is , so when road conditions are not drivable , I stay at the Westin I get the BEST sleep of my life here , and the rain shower is so relaxin It melts away the day The pillows are perfect and the nice heavy without being TOO heavy duvet is just right The bed HOLDS you The urban bar and grill downstairs has always been too busy to get service, however I did not know until I was leaving that I could have ordered food to my room , which I wish I had known There is access to crown center shops and restaurants without going outside during open hours The waterfall and garden area near the lobby is a favorite place of mine to get family photos

Angie S

The hotel is gorgeous on the inside The room was way beyond our expectations Very clean and the bed was just right

We highly recommend this place We just checked out of a room from the plaza from having a very bad experience and ended up here We could not be happier The staff is super friendly and so helpful! Totally worth the price!

ZERO STARS! this hotel charged my card for my entire hotel stay…then as I’m standing in line to check in I over hear that my stay was CANCELLED because they “were overbooked” NO CALL IN ADVANCE! NO APOLOGY! They said that since I booked third party, my reservation was first to be automatically cancelled They knew this this morning and proceeded to charge my card anyway

Had I known this before my 4 hour drive here, I could have made alternate arrangements but no…had to be just as we arrived to check in…VERY ANGRY WITH THIS PLACE! Now we’re having to scramble to find a hotel…kids in tote and all VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Brittany Crawford (B)

The front desk attendant was super helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly We got all checked in very late at around 3 am The customer service was great as he solved a booking issue for us without any hesitation

The rooms were nice and clean and they had decent tv channel selectionI got a room with two queen beds Each bed has 4 amazing pillows However, I’d say the beds were kinda hard and the blanket they used as a topper was a super rough texture They had a very large selection of food for breakfast and it was a nice surprise I will say that I got there right at 6 am and my gravy was kinda coldAll in all, my 2 day stay was pretty good Kinda on the pricey side for my liking, but still, it was a nice little get a way I would book here again in the future if I ever need a room out that way

Jackie Webb

The room was fine Standard hotel room The only issue I had was when I tried to get a later check out

In the past they have let me stay till one with no problems, even when the hotel was full for that night When I asked today they said they were full and to even stay till noon I had to be a rewards member But when I was in the lounge area waiting for the rain to stop, they were still checking people in who didn’t have reservations? Just a little surprised since I’ve been allowed to stay late before

Amber Lee

Really only one thing that made me select good, instead of great

HUMID ROOM There was even a dehumidifier in there to try to keep the moisture down That made the room quite musty smelling Not sure if all rooms are like that But 316 sure was! Great breakfast, cute lobby area with tons of seating, nice staff, pretty clean facility, definitely quiet location, good price for what we got, bed was decent Pillows, not so much

Stephen Gannon

We really enjoyed the hotel The breakfast variety was really nice and suprising The hot breakfast was always changing each day and not your standard eggs, sausage and bacon everyday

The room was nice and clean We did use the fitness center multiple times and it had plenty of space, free weights, heavy balls, yoga balls, bikes and treadmills Pool was not overly large All staff was extremely nice and helpfulWe would definitely stay at this property again

Dan Huisinga

Friendly staff Front desk, breakfast, housekeeping, and maintenance all seemed to enjoy giving us great hospitality and cared about making us feel appreciated during our stay Loudest and slowest elevator i have ever been in but it worked fine

Clean as expected at Hampton and the cleanliness in the pool area was above any i have experienced in any hotel

A Sayers

I was a little hesitant based off of the reviews However I really enjoyed my stay My family and I stayed four nights for a football tournament

When we got our room it was really nice and it was clean, sanitize and smelled refreshing The first night they forgot to put housekeeping for both rooms so I had to call them All the staff were really nice and very helpful My kids and I are really picky when it comes to breakfast but we all enjoy the foid They had a variety of different sides each day, and they kept the eating area really cleanThe only thing that bother me was i held the room on one credit card but when we got to the hotel I had to switch it to a different card and the Lady never informed me that there will be a hold on the first credit card but she did say that it would drop off when we checked out Sadly that was not the case my first credit card was charged again the day we checked out as well as the second credit card that was supposed be charged was also double charged at check out I called them to verify the credit card that was supposed to be charge, and they confirmed the second card They said it take 5 to 10 days for the fall off my credit card balance smh It doesn’t make sense to me because if that was a case I would’ve just kept it on the first card instead of switching it to the second card so now I have a hold on two different credit cards

This place was such a great stay! It was very homey with a quaint feel of comfort The staff was extremely helpful and so pleasant 10/10 recommend on staying here

Super close to the stadium!! Once we got our of the stadium traffic I would say it was about 6-8 minutes away from where everything stops with streets shut down to clear the stadium 😃 So convenient! 🤗 My girlfriend and I really loved all of the antique style furniture and the decor Was just a very neat little place to stay with some history

Shona Seiler

I have stayed at many B&B and this one was one of the best Very attentive host, private bath rooms with luxurious linens There were delicious snacks out every afternoon

Games, books and DVD’s for entertainment Decorating was tastefully beautiful The breakfast was to die for and would cook an alternative if needed Would definitely stay here again

Maggie Parker

Charming inn with comfortable, clean rooms and lots of personal touches that made it a perfect “home base” for us during our weekend in KC There’s complimentary coffee, soda and water in main room and desserts on the table each afternoon in addition to the homemade breakfast each morning Debbie is an attentive and accommodating innkeeper

She even made eggs for my husband and me for breakfast when she noticed we didn’t finish our initial plate, as neither of us are huge fans of French toast We stayed in the gorgeous Italian room with the spa tub and fireplace The bed was very comfortable, and I slept so well even though I usually have trouble sleeping away from home The inn is in a great location if you are planning to catch a few Royals games which is what we did Will definitely be returning in the future!

What a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and accommodating! The rooms were smartly decorated and the ambiance was warm and comfortable Breakfast was so satisfying, very delicious! We also spent plenty of time in their open air spa tub (available to all guests) We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing and romantic weekend!

Jordan Rose

Really enjoyed just hanging out here! Big comfy rooms and bed, hot tub in a screened in porch which we tried during the day and night Both were very spa like The back yard had lots of greenery and was so peaceful

Breakfast was AMAZING and Charles the owner is great Highly recommend Just need to make the water pressure better in the shower That’s my only suggestion!

Marne

I’ve only just met the owners of the Inn, but I had SUCH a fantastic time meeting with them to plan a baby shower I’m hosting at their place, I already felt comfortable giving them a five-star review!! The place is literally AMAZING, I don’t think I could find a better spot for my friends shower if I had a whole year to do it! Just a lovely couple running a lovely establishment, we CAN’T WAIT to have our shower with them!!!

This hotel is beautiful, its staff friendly, and its location great I’ve stayed here twice now and plan to stay again as often as I can The rooms have a classic look and are immaculately clean

The building has an old soulful feel to itDuring my most recent stay, I presented a tax exemption document to the front desk at checkout time No hotel likes dealing with these, but Charlotte was patient and thorough in seeing it through, multitasking by helping other guests while she adjusted my bill I could not be more pleased with my experience

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!

Definitely recommend this place for a relaxing getaway The only downside to our stay was the loud guests, which the hotel can’t control We had the theme suite and it was lovely

We did have to ask for more shampoo, as there was only enough for one person But they kindly gave me more! The room was very nicely decorated and the view was very nice Breakfast was really good, better than most hotels This was my second stay and I would definitely go back 😊

D. Anthony Coleman

So, it’s a hotel You want clean room, safe property, some conveniences like a microwave and mini-fridge, snacks, a bar, ample parking, you get those things What makes this place great is the people

Everyone I had to interact with was wonderful and always gave me the feeling that I was important and that what I had to say, they wanted to hear It was really nice From check, to the night shift worker giving me directions, to the guy at the bar and even the person who was taking care of my room, everyone was great This is a good place to stay by yourself, with a group or with your family I highly recommend and I will definitely make this my hotel of choice for all of my visits

Briana Schmidt

Great location, clean hotel, super friendly staff, amazing room (get the king with the whirlpool tub — worth it), AND, our favorite was that they have “adult swim” from 10-11pm There was a large group of teens at the hotel during our stay and, as kids do, they were all over the pool having a good time Adult swim hour gave us the time to just … chill, as adults like to do, without the craziness of kids being kids

If you need somewhere to stay in or around Kansas City, definitely pick this one It’s just far enough away from the big city to stay safe and quiet but also close enough to enjoy what the city and surrounding areas have to offerWill definitely book here next time I’m in the area 10/10

The hotel has a nice location close to the uptown theater and the action on the plaza within walking distance The front desk staff is helpful and very nice The room itself has wear and tear, but out king room came with a nice sofa and table

Parking isn’t super easy because it’s a garage with separate elevator access, but it was fine

Thomas

Wants to be a 4 star, but not there $2800 Valet under staffed when we got there and the rest of the weekend

Had 350 guests for a wedding, shouldn’t have been a surprise Check in was okay, but not real welcoming Slow elevators, seemed like only one of four was working Ice machine on 15th floor never worked Room a/c wasn’t working until about 10:30 our first night Toilet ran every 10 minutes Bridgette was the first friendly employee we ran into Breakfast hostess was nice and breakfast was good, but overpriced Wedding reception with 350 guests had two bars with a minimum of 15 minute service wait All issues can be excused to staffing issues, and I don’t like leaving negative reviews, except I expressed concerns on the Marriott Bonvoy site and was ignored Good service goes a long waypoor service, not much

Mama Bearnath

Will stay at this hotel again! Chance at the front desk was incredibly helpful and friendly the views of the Plaza were amazing and I loved having coffee in my room while looking out at the fountains The shower door punched our fingers but we had to be mindful of not putting our finger on the handle while getting out of the shower I loved the detachable shower head, made it easy to wash the kiddos after a humid day!

Andrew Dunkel

This is a historical landmark, which adds to the charm of this beautiful prohibition era hotel The rooms are a nice size If you like to have a drink I definitely recommend the speakeasy which is hidden behind the front desk wall

You enter through a hidden door downstairs in the basement The bar lounge is beautiful though and has a decent amount of nicely appointed seating My only issue with this hotel sometimes is the front desk staff doesn’t seem to be attentive to the guests’ needs It’s like they don’t want to be there If that changed, I would definitely give this place 5 stars

I was a bit worried to stay here after reading some of the other reviews but was pleasantly surprised While they clearly have staffing shortages and are having to cut some corners the overall experience is pretty good The rooms and decor are unique compared to your average hotel, and if you get the bathtub room you are in for a treat

My check in experience was smooth and my room was clean enough All of the important surfaces (bed, tables/chairs, bathroom fixtures, main areas of floor) were very clean and free of stains While I would expect a 4 star hotel to be spotless, I wasn’t planning on using the space behind the chair, so I didn’t mind too much that it was dusty Some of the fixtures and furnishings were defiantly showing some wear and tear and could do with a replacement The room did have a mini fridge and microwave that were both clean, and not advertised as being includedThe AC worked well, although the room did feel a bit damp It was 100 outside and very humid, but my room was able to hang out at about 67, and I was on the 19th floor The public areas however were very hot I don’t think the halls had any working AC at all They also used an air freshener scent in the lobby area that made me wonder if the hotel was hosting an axe body spray conventionOverall I would definitely stay here again They rooms and decor are a step above your average hotel The staff is friendly and the location is great I just hope they can shine up their rooms so that they can provide a truly unbeatable experience

I was told that when I checked in I did not have breakfast included for the people in my stay, i took the employees word and it wasn’t until the third day of my stay that I was told otherwise So not only Did I pay for two adults per day(4 days, 3 nights) but then I paid for breakfast elsewhere and all that I was offered was two well drink vouchers which I was unable to use, not because they were denied but because it was closed during my available times (Visiting for business)Also, the restaurant is quiet but the food was good

I expected an Italian menu for the breakfast once I did check it out before checking out of my room, but it was a light American style Menu online site is not up to date!! The employees at that time were attentiveThe room was nice, felt crowded for a deluxe suite because of the larger coffee tableThe shower was so uncomfortable It is a half glass door and because of that you can easily get cold while showering If the switch on the wall aaa a heat lamp/fan, mine did not work and was very dusty under the cover the water pressure was OK, but the shower head pointed to the wall so no heater, poor pressure, and got chilly super easily I did expect a better bathroom due to no pics on the siteOn the features it lists a boutique, there is NO boutiqueLobby was clean and always immaculate, I just wish that the rooms/service was up to par An area for improvementThe historical features of the hotel were a nice touchOverall I rate this a 2/5 because the price is average per night here and it’s possible I could’ve stayed elsewhere and had a better experience

I stayed at Unity Hotel on 3/18/22 for the first time because I just randomly booked a room through Choice Hotels I didn’t expect to stumble upon such a wonderful place to stay The staff were all true definitions of servant leaders focusing energy on helping those visiting

The amount of warmth and the beautiful spirits within everyone I came across was a wonderful surprise The energy within this hotel was calming and for the first time in over a week I actually slept through the night The decor throughout the hotel was beautiful and the rooms extremely clean and kept up I look forward to visiting the hotel and Unity Village in the future for a retreat Thank you all for a perfect experience!

From the gorgeous, expansive campus, to the neatly and brightly arranged rooms, to the hot complimentary breakfast, to the excellent staff, you cannot ask for a better accommodationThough a bit outside the city, it’s proximity away from the hustle and bustle is actually an alluring feature of the hotelAnd one of the best features above all is the sprawling campus and gardens outside the hotel

I dare say you’ll find a perk like this at any other hotel The nearby fountains, gardens, and nature trail were intimate and complemented the hotel perfectly Following a breakfast comprised of pancakes, biscuits and gravy, eggs, and fresh lemon cucumber water, my family and I were able to explore and relish in the gardens/fountains all to ourselves I also like that the building itself operates more like a boutique than a large chain hotel Everything just seems personalized just for youI sure hope this place is able to stay open because this is the place we want to stay at whenever we pass thru KC

I can’t speak highly enough about Unity Hotel and its staff Check-in was easy/quick and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful I didn’t expect to find such a gem but was happy to book this spot for a short stay

Enjoyed the breakfast very much as well as the nature walk path outside Saw fireflies for the first time which was a small treat Would 100% book here again

If you are looking for a welcoming, clean and quiet place to relax and recharge and refuel, come here Wrapping up my two day stay here and am very happy with my experience Drury Inns have never been on my radar but if this location is any indication, I will look for Drury first

When you enter the lobby in the afternoon, there is comp fresh popcorn and coffee, so yes please! I had a room with two queens overlooking the highway But it was very quite The beds were comfy and inviting The room and bathroom and, well, everything was super clean The staff greets you, all the staff, not just the front desk! I also liked the “kick back” with dinner You can get up to three comped alcoholic drinks with the dinner, a nice touch The food is typical fare, not amazing but it is yummy, hot and plenty of it You know how you go someplace and they seem irritated you are the customer? Here, they actually want you to stay, to rest well, to eat well and to feel safe and happy
