Top Watkins Mill State Park Hotel Reviews

Loews Kansas City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Tout était parfait. Directement de l'autre côté de la rue du Kaufman Center où nous produisions un spectacle."

Hotel Lotus Kansas City Stadium

8/10 Good

"We found the hotel to be sufficient for those that are looking for a good, but not great, place to stay. The rooms are part 1960’s decor and part modern. It was nicely cleaned, which was important for us. The breakfast quality was very “budget conscious,” Many guests were finding it worked great for them. Priya at the front desk was very helpful."

KC Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is an outstanding value, if you're simply looking for a clean, safe, comfortable place to stay. The breakfast had plenty of basic options, just no proteins (e.g. sausage, ham, bacon). The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the tv had tons of options. It just didn't have a fridge (but plenty of ice available). The exercise room had a very nice stationary bike, as well as a treadmill and weight machine that I didn't use. I'd definitely stay again."

The Elms Hotel & Spa, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely historic hotel. The Spa was top notch. The 3 Owls restaurant was phenomenal. And the desk staff were friendly, quick, & knowledgeable. The Ghost tour is a lovely bit of local color. I would recommend ppl opt to stay here rather than KC."
