Great location!
I chose this for a convention site several years ago, but it was the first time I'd been back just for fun.
Restaurant is under staffed.
The location and view were the best! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very comfy bed and nice bath amenities. The room was large and spacious with a sofa bed included. We loved the balcony and look forward to a summer stay to use the pool!
We had just a quick 1 night stay but I was very impressed by the friendly staff, cleanliness of the rooms and facility. The restaurant had an amazing breakfast buffet and get servings for lunch also. A absolute must stay the next time we are in KC
It was great to take advantage of the pool while we were there.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The InterContinental is a nice property if you are looking to do some shopping/eating at the Plaza. I have to say it is just a tired older property that could really use some updates but the location makes up for it. Breakfast was really good and the staff there was excellent.
The hotel is beautiful and the pool area is great too. We were there on a busy July 4 weekend, and the staff that was there was great - very friendly and helpful
Very nice hotel to stay in, the pool is a plus for the warmer months. Perfect area for walking to shop and restaurants in the lovely area on the Country Club Plaza.
Great stay for a weekend getaway. Like most hospitality businesses these days staffing is a challenge but the staff from check in to check out were great. Would stay here again!
