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.

Our stay was very nice. A few things I would suggest is investing in some new better quality towels. Also it would be nice to have a small coffee table in front of the sofa , area to set drinks etc. The bathroom door does not stay closed ! Maybe a simple fix. Other than that it was a very nice place to stay

Visit for the history and stay for the comfort

A wonderful place to stay in KC. In a fairly quiet neighborhood and I barely heard a peep during my stay. Minimal staff on-site, however the they have made accommodations as self-sufficient as possible . There is ample shared space, inside and outside, along with available dinnerware (cleaned by staff). I stayed in the Russel & Clara Stover room, with jetted tub. Rooms are named after significant people from the KC area and there’s literature in each room explaining the history. If I had to list any concerns, there is no elevator and my room was on the third floor, so not good for those with mobility issues. I was told there is are rooms with jetted tubs on multiple floors, again demonstrating their customer first service. I think the changes to install an elevator would possibly detract from the property, so I understand the situation. I highly recommend and would love to stay again, should I revisit the area.

So So Accomodations

We rented a room with a jacuzzi. We inquired of the innkeeper if it would accommodate 2 adults and was told it would. They failed to mention those adults would need to be of Asian descent. The room was on the third floor and there was no elevator. There was little furniture in the room where you could put your belongings. There was only one SMALL trash can. The furniture where you could sit to watch TV was uncomfortable. The only food in the room was SMALL cookies like you would get on an airplane. The ladies who cleaned the room did an excellent job.

Property was great. Nice room with good amenities. Had one issue with another guest being very loud between 11pm-2am. Since no one on site, no way to work it out. Guess it's a gamble as to whether or not it will be a relaxing and enjoyable stay-depends on the other guests! Thankfully it was only one night of my stay.

I was traveling for work and had the most peaceful and productive stay. Convenient location and simply lovely common spaces — indoor and out. The room was modest in size but comfortably appointed. I especially enjoyed the calming sounds of the fountain while sleeping and enjoying the autumnal views from the patio (pictured). Looking forward to my next stay!

It was in a very congested and questionable neighborhood. Parking was difficult. The house common areas looked nice, but my room and all the room doors were banged up and dirty, as was my room. It was very dark and dusty, lampshades were dusty, old and broken. I couldn’t get hot water, the linens were tired and old, although bed linens were nice and bed was comfortable. The room had a strange smell that I think was coming from the air venting. I had booked two nights, and didn’t want to stay my second night, so I had to book a hotel elsewhere.

A great place that's a change of pace

I loved this place - very non-traditional compared to standard hotel operations. I gave 3 stars for service only because it's self-service - I never had any actual interaction with staff during my stay, which I was fine with. Room was comfortable, wife loved the balcony overlooking the property. A very nice change of pace.

A beautiful historical property nestled in the heart of one of Kansas City’s most beautiful areas. In addition to being so close to the iconic Nelson-Atkins Museum, there are so many great restaurant options, unique shopping, and much to see and do nearby. A wonderful quiet retreat after a day/evening enjoying the city and all it has to offer.
