Cascade Hotel, Kansas City, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice modern hotel, extremely close to the country club Plaza shopping and restaurant district. Decent size rooms, very clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Only slight missed steps were a noisy refrigerator that squealed most of the night in our room and could’ve used a pool, but that wasn’t the primary reason we were there. Would stay at this hotel again for sure!"
