Top Exploration Place Hotel Reviews

Hotel at Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"The moment we walked in the door, we knew this was going to be one of the best places we have ever stayed. It is absolutely beautiful and the fellow at the front desk seemed to know exactly what we were looking for. My wife and I were celebrating our 5th anniversary. We are both over 70. The young crowd that gathers in Old Town was just the shot we needed to remind us that we don't get out enough. I would stay nowhere else when in Wichita. No negative comments, although we would have enjoyed a few cocktails by the pool . . . but, there is no pool. Who cares. They have a great bar downstairs and plenty of room to hang out by the water fountain."

Ambassador Hotel Wichita, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with exceptional staff. Room was cleaned very well and the bedding very comfortable. The shuttle service is so helpful and everyone is so kind and helpful."

Hyatt Regency Wichita

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible all around! Amazingly clean and modern place. Super friendly staff and possibly the best food I've ever eaten at a hotel. Will only be staying here when traveling to Wichita."
