Top Kansas City Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Kansas City at The Plaza by IHG

8/10 Good

"This property is nice, although aging. Have stayed here many times and will continue to. I will say that this most recent time we were given an adjoining room and the door In between did not go all the way to the floor. Meaning, we could hear everything happen on the other side of the door. Which was unfortunately a little awkward. Next time, I’d request a non adjoining room."

Crowne Plaza Kansas City Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was super good, easy access!"

Fairfield Inn Kansas City Downtown/Union Hill by Marriott

8/10 Good

Stoney Creek Hotel Kansas City - Independence

10/10 Excellent

"Great people, very clean rooms"

Hotel Phillips Kansas City Curio Collection by Hilton
