Family-friendly hotel in a prime location for dining and entertainment

Guests of Holiday Inn at The Plaza enjoy close access -- a short walk or complimentary shuttle ride -- to the city's premier 15-block dining, shopping, and entertainment district, Country Club Plaza. Culture beckons from around the corner at two outstanding art museums, and the hotel is convenient to myriad attractions and downtown nightlife. Families appreciate the connecting rooms, free dining for children, and extra large pool with a shallow end. Pets are also welcome (fees apply).

Highlights
  • Located near Country Club Plaza, with more than 150 shops and restaurants
  • Kansas City's largest heated outdoor hotel pool
  • Free shuttle to Country Club Plaza and other nearby attractions
  • Free wireless high-speed Internet access throughout
  • Free garage parking
Rooms

Choose from king rooms, suites, or the Executive Club Level. All rooms include a desk with ample workspace, lamp, desk-level electrical outlets, and complimentary Wi-Fi and local telephone calls. For in-room entertainment, enjoy pay-per-view and premium cable movies or the DVD player. Executive Club Level guest quarters are larger, and free morning newspapers are delivered to rooms. Seven of the hotel's 241 rooms accommodate handicapped or physically challenged guests.

Features

The lively Country Club Plaza, with its busy calendar of music and special events and dozens of dining and leisure options, is a major attraction for guests, but the hotel offers distractions of its own, beginning with a super-large heated outdoor pool. Exercise enthusiasts work out on universal, treadmill, stair stepper, and elliptical equipment in the small on-site Health and Fitness Center. For guests with small children or on a longer stay, the Guest Self-Laundry includes a washer and dryer. Internet access is free in public areas.

excellent hotel

This hotel was in a great location. The staff was helpful and friendly. Room and lobby were clean and comfortable. Lots of restaraunts in walking distance. We had one problem where our shower drain was clogged. I notified the front desk, we went out for a few hours and when we returned, the problem was fixed and there was an apology letter and some chocolates shaped like hammers in the room. Just a very pleasant experience. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend to anyone.

An okay stay

The staff was curtious and polite. The room smelled old and musty. Not fresh and clean as one would expect staying in a Holiday Inn.

Great staff, scratchy sheets

Staff was really great but they need to invest in some better beds and nicer sheets. The shower head was so low that I almost had to sit down to wash my hair.

Disappointed in my stay Brandi

Disappointed at first step in room

My best friend and I have talked about this trip for a year. Just a weekend away from all the daily stresses. We were able to check in early, which was great. However, we were in a smoking room and it smelled terrible as soon as we opened the door. I've stayed at other hotels in smoking rooms and you couldn't even tell. This was overwhelmingly smokey. Floors were dirty. The coffee supplied in the little packages tasted old. Went for ice and the machine was broken and the sign said they were broken on the first 3 (of 5)floors. The pop machine didn't have any diet coke and didn't on the first 3 (of 5)floors. The elevator smelled stale and musty so we took the stairs for most of the stay. The hostess/bartender in the restaurant was unfriendly and short with her answers to our questions. The waitress, however, was great! and the meal was fantastic! Kudos to [...] and the chef!!! They are the ONLY things that made this stay bearable.

great location close to museums

Very cordial staff. Our room service breakfast was not delivered promptly and the staff member apologized and did not charge us for it. The breakfast was a delicious meal with generous portions.

Holiday Inn at the Plaza

The service was friendly but the room/hall looked a bit "seedy". The hall carpet didn't fit right and was bunched up in places and my room carpet had a big stain near the bathroom. The AC was also pretty noisy.

This title is accurate.

I attended a two day meeting in the Plaza district of Kansas City. This location was near numerous restaurants and bars. I feel this hotel was an excellent value for the money.

Did not stay the night there

We discovered a bed bug during our stay and were therefore, unhappy with the cleanliness of the hotel. The staff was friendly and very helpful as they set us up at a very nice nearby hotel at no charge and I was very pleased with their willingness to take responsibility and deliver quality customer service.
