Hampton Inn & Suites Kansas City-Country Club Plaza

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a two room suite that was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed the free breakfast in the morning and we found the staff to be friendly. While the rooms were cool (appreciated in the 100 degree heat), it seemed like the hallway a/c was not working on the first day, and there were large fans in the hallways. This was much improved the next morning, so they must have gotten it fixed. Would stay there again!"

We loved our stay and the location/ walkability of the area. Let’s not forget the plush bedding and soft sheets ensuring a good night’s rest. Thank you!"
