DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU’RE GOING TO KANSAS CITY CONVENTION CENTER! It is a joke that they even say they are connected. You go outside the hotel, down an elevator, walk through a parking garage, and if you are lucky you can get into the convention center. They keep the doors locked between the parking garage and convention center most of the time. Save yourself a huge headache and stay at Loews, that lobby is connected to the convention center.
Also, watch your debit card! I booked and prepaid through Hotels.com but woke up to a charge on my card for the stay. It wasn’t the hold for incidentals either because that was a whole extra charge. I didn’t prepay just to be charged again.
The hotel is beautiful and clean but they honestly should not say that they are connected to the convention center. We had to walk to Loews multiple times in the freezing cold to get in (after walking all the way through a parking lot and back) It was very frustrating.
