Top Watkins Mill State Park Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites Indoor Waterpark

10/10 Excellent

"My Grandsons love to come and stay with me. They always have a great time. Breakfast is not bad, could use more selections and variations. Otherwise we always enjoy our stay."

Red Lion Inn & Suites Kansas City

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff were wonderful! Check-in was a breeze with our choice of room location. Breakfast open till 10 Am was much appreciated! Good selection of the usual stuff. I did not care for the all-in-one 'hand, body, shampoo' soap in the attached wall dispenser. The whole place was spotless. KC's abundant sunshine and rain produced healthy, growing grass. Needed cut. The front desk was the only keyless entrance to the interior rooms. Felt very secure."

Best Western Premier Liberty Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and well laid out and furnished. I appreciated the water filter in the bathroom. Breakfast was great and the dining area was well kept. The only issue is that the pool was closed the second night as they were waiting on someone to come fix something. This was the main reason for booking this hotel as it is a very hot time of the year. At least my kid got to swim and use the water slide on the first night. I would stay here again, just really hope that the pool is open the whole time."
