Chiefs Opening Day Stay
Walking distance to Power and Light and shopping. Rooms are a little small but comfortable and very clean. The lobby is nice too. Good view from the 18th floor of downtown KC. 3rd stay here and is definitely our go-to down town hotel!

Classic elegant hotel in a cool downtown location
The hotel takes you back in time with its elegance but with modern touches (like large HD TVs). The staff is extremely courteous and treats you like royalty. The downtown was surprisingly quiet but there are all kinds of dining opportunities (ranging in price) within just a few blocks.

801 Chop House is as good of a steak restaurant as any. It's not cheap but a filet doesn't get any better than that! Reminiscent of a Ruth's Chris but better.

Close to convention center, not bad.
I stayed here because of the location alone. Only a couple blocks from the convention center so that's great. Not near much but offices and other hotels so don't plan to walk around the corner to grab a sandwhich. Ate at the hotel restaurant for lunch one day, bad service, dirty plates and ok food. Rooms was clean enough although they never brought me kleenex or had it in my room when I checked in, just an empty box. Front staff was really nice, everyone friendly. Free internet worked well. Good TV selections although fuzzy picture. I never complained about that though.

Weekend getaway
Great staff- friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Rooms was modern, but with some nice decorating touches to recall the vintage of the hotel itself. Comfortable beds and chairs for sleeping/working. Overall I would be hard pressed to ask for a better hotel experience.

Not Bad, Not Bad at All!!
Overall not bad. I enjoyed my short stay. The staff was friendly and professional, rooms clean and large. Location was great - close to the convention center. The only comment to the staff would be communicate to the guests when there is a problem with the water. Attempted to take a shower the next morning after arriving and there was no hot water!!!! Apparently there was some sort of problem. The issue was resolved the next day.
