Reviews and Ratings
What a mixed experience! The hotel has beautiful rooms, but they felt a bit small for the total price paid, and there were issues with ventilation. On the bright side, the service was amazing and very friendly, although there were some hiccups in operations. The location was a mix of beauty and mess, with both positive and negative aspects. The dining experience was excellent overall, especially with the live music, but not everything was perfect. A hidden gem with its ups and downs.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, although on the smaller side, were cleverly designed for comfort. The service was exceptional, with staff being attentive and warm. The location was excellent, despite a few cleanliness concerns. The dining experience fell short in terms of variety and timing. Nevertheless, the facilities were satisfactory, making my stay enjoyable.
Our two-night stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, with comfortable and clean rooms despite being a bit small at the hotel floor located above a lively wedding reception that lasted until midnight. The only downside was the unpleasant odor lingering in the hallways.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although different from what was shown on the website, offered a king bed but were quite pricey. The service provided by the staff was friendly and helpful, but there were indications of upcoming changes. The location, while lovely and relaxing, was a bit far from the city. The dining options were decent, although the timing was not ideal for early risers. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway but with some room for improvement.
The hotel was conveniently located just far enough away from Kansas City to provide a true weekend getaway feeling. The rooms had thin walls and a moldy locker room smell, which was off-putting. Despite some issues with room readiness, the location was within walking distance to fun attractions, making it an average value for money choice.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were a little small but clean and pleasant, not quite meeting my expectations given the price. The service was a combination of caring and nice but also rude and shaky at moments. The location was nice with a cozy fireplace, and the dining experience was a bit disorganized but manageable.
