What a cute place to stay! I wasn’t sure what to expect with the lack of front desk check in but the email we received the morning of our check in had all of the info we could have needed. Our room (Stover) was super cute and clean and big! We really loved the huge jetted tub. The common space on the main floor and the lit garden on the side of the house were so beautifully done and welcoming. We only stayed one night but I can see this being an amazing place to stay a few days, especially if traveling with a group. The location was superb, so close to Nelson Atkins and the Plaza. Neighborhood was quiet and safe and the house has onsite parking. We really enjoyed our stay here

Ok - common areas nice but room not so nice

Positives: Great location and surprisingly very quiet. The main hotel area for lounging and the outdoor area were nice. Negatives: Our room was a bit run down and found some holes in the carpet and several tiles were coming off the bathroom floor. The coffee machine didn't quite work and kept malfunctioning . Bathroom tub was also a bit dirty. I also killed two brown recluse spiders inside the bathroom which was the biggest negative of our stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
There were bugs in the room and ants crawling on mattress cover. Property didn’t notify me that there was a full rental of the main property during my stay when booking and or post and therefore no access to main facility for any of my needs to include heating up dinner, utensils etc. the initial check in message sent to me in the morning had a access code to main home and when called to notify of no access was treated as if my business and money was unimportant and disposable. Staff and property management dismissive and borderline argumentative. Parking lot is very difficult to navigate and not well lit almost caused damage to my rental. Surrounding area seemed a bit questionable for a solo traveling woman. Patio door would not lock/off track with door and burst open randomly at night. Sad as I really wanted to have a relaxing evening and thought this might be a safe haven for that but I will stick to bigger hotels with better hospitality.

Charlie Parker room was roomy, nice and comfortable. Enjoyed the garden and especially the central location that is within walking distance of museum and Westport. The main house had evidently been leased for a family reunion, so we had limited access to it. The parking in the back was difficult to maneuver.

Great room... only small negatives for me were (1) not being able to control temp in the room, as it was quite warm during the day outside, so the room was warm at evening when returned, so I'm sorry that I did open the door / windows to let some cool air into the room... and (2) the frig is nice, but kinda small for when traveling. Otherwise, recommend this property!

Very much enjoyed our stay. Beautiful and cozy place would definitely stay here again. The only issue i found was when we had arrived to our room it was freezing. The thermostat had been set on AC and was 53 degrees after it was already pretty chilly outside. We had adjusted the thermostat to heat as being the top level we knew we werent going to toast out anyone above us, then apon reading the book in the room later the next day realized we werent allowed to adjust the thermostat so i would recommend putting a sign next to it for future reference or again being the only room on the top level in that building since heat rises make an exception for that just for the winter month's.
