The staff made it extra special; from the receptionist when checking in to the waiter at breakfast. They made us feel so special on our joyous occasion.
Very clean room. The room was spacious and comfortable. I do think we had a handicap accessable bathroom, without requesting one. It was very nice but no where to store accessories. I would be interested in seeing a regular king bathroom.
Stayed two nights for a show and my room was excellent, the bar/restaurant had great offerings and the staff was always helpful to validate parking in the garage below. Wonderful hotel and I would happily come back!

Long wait to check in. Later in the evening the elevator wasn’t working. Little or no direction from staff. Water in room was only luke warm, not hot. We will not stay here again. This is the second time we’ve had issues with this hotel. We really wanted to like it…great location; good bar…but we will not be back.
The hotel was conveniently located within walking distance of the Plaza and they had a Tesla car shuttle service that would personally drive you to anywhere in the Plaza. The staff was so friendly and especially Tamara at the front desk! I’d stay there again!
Was only in KC for 2 days, but absolutely loved this hotel. The staff was extra friendly and helpful, the hotel pool / lounge area was beautiful, and my room had a cute balcony overlooking a nice view as well. I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in KC again.
I'm not much of a breakfast eater, but I don't remember its being free the two times I had it. I did like the lunch/dinner menu quite a bit, and the room itself is very nice. I enjoyed the bar and the bartenders, all very personable and pleasant. I wish the hotel were closer to the Plaza than it turned out to be -- a bit of a hike for the mobility impaired!

Staff was wonderful. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Everything was clean and up to date.
