Small room, fantastic location!
The room was probably the smallest one on the floor, but it had a great view of Power and light and downtown KC. Amenities were good but the bathroom lacked an exhaust fan. Also beware that parking is $15 per day, something not mentioned or included. But being within walking distance of the Sprint Center and Power and light are well worth it!

Great location
Great location for down town activities. Bar needs to stay open later though. Over all, not a bad hotel.

Fine hotel, good valet parking, clean, good location. Short walk to Sprint Center and Power and Light District. Felt safe while walking to/from Sprint, however, saw on the KC news the next evening there was a shooting at 330am on the corner of 13th and Wyandott. (Exactly where this hotel is). I would stay here again, but that is a little concerning!

Cleanliness
The room was very dusty, the kids ran around with no shoes on and when they came back their feet were black, this place can use a little cleaning

Good option in the Power and Light District
We stayed at the Crowne Plaza for 3 nights. The hotel is walking distance to the Power and Light district (a square block with a large screen TV outside and several bars and restaurants). The location was great for us. Parking is reasonable at $13 per day, but street parking is free and easy to find on the weekends. We didn't get an opportunity to use the pool, but it looked nice. They do close the pool for the fall/winter season even though it is heated. Our room was average, but comfortable. Housekeeping came in all days, but one day seemed to only change towels and forgot to do trash and make the bed. We received a basket of goodies because of the error which was nice of the hotel staff. All in all this was a good hotel and great location.

Nice for honeymoon
Stayed our first two nights here. Upgraded us to a suite since it was our honeymoon. Halls and elevators felt old, kind of dirty. But the room was nice. Clean, except for an odd stain on the comforter. Modern amenities, decent location, fair price, considering its competitors.

Great place to stay!
We had a great time staying in the newly renovated Crowne Plaza Hotel. We were there for 4 nights, and they only charged us for 2 days of parking, which is $13/day. The only complaint I have is the elevators. There are only 2, and they take forever to get to the upper floors. Also, they're HAUNTED (the elevators)! They sometimes get "lost", and say you're going up when you're going down, and sometimes take you to the wrong floor. Other than that, great place!

Bad location and parking
The room was nice but the Sleep Number didn't work. They charged us $13.00 a day for parking garage and the lady told us to not leave the parking garage after 5pm because the garage is full by then and we would have to park 3 block away. This hotel wasn't worth the money for what you get.

Nightmare on 1301 Wyandotte St
$300.00 Unauthorized charge on our bank statement. We stayed as a part of a wedding group on the 19th floor. One of our relatives was in our room smoking a cigar. The Maintenance man (In our room for non-working phone) turned us in. Front desk employee [...]called us in our room, scolded us for smoking, told us not to let it happen again OR they would "impose" a $300.00. We promosed that it wouldn't happen again, "AND IT DIDN'T". Guess what we found on our bank statement when we returned back to Colorado. Yep!!! A $300.00 charge on our account as well as the 300.00 for a 2 night stay = $600.00 total. Liars and Thieves!!! Spoke with "[...]" front desk manager, REFUSED to give it back, under ANY circumstances. Are you Kidding me??? Lets not even get into the fact that there is NO Bell hop Service, NO Valet, No Shuttle service that was promised to us earlier that morning to the Wedding, Forced to use their 13 per day parking because there is no street parking downtown, and sleep number beds that were totally deflated and would not hold air longer than a couple of hours. Not to mention the graduation party staying there at the same time, hooping and hollering in hallways at 3:00am looking for the pool for 15 minutes. No EFFECTIVE security either. I have filed complaints with VISA and Kansas City BBB. Don't be Fooled, Don't stay here. This place is seriously a dump and a scam.

Great hotel for a concert!
We have stayed here before for a concert at the Sprint Center and didn't hesitate to come back again this time. It's in the perfect location for the Sprint center, resturants and nightlife in the KC power & light district. We have parked and walked to eat and venue both times. The staff was helpful & courteous. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean with a very comfy bed! Oh and the Starbucks in the lobby is a bonus!
