We had a nice two-night stay here while in Kansas City for basketball games at Homefield Courts. It’s the perfect mid-level hotel for anyone looking for great value—we really didn't want to spend a fortune on lodging while traveling for basketball, and this was an excellent choice. The room was the perfect retreat from the extreme heat—the air conditioning worked incredibly well, and the beds were very comfortable. We also appreciated the hotel’s quiet, peaceful location. Everything was booked through Expedia at a very reasonable price, and we would definitely choose to stay here again for future trips to the courts!

The hot tub was great. The pool was very chilly but nice as well. The phone had incorrect room number. No alarm clock, no wakeup call available. Staff was nice enough. Room is nice size. No frills. No laundry available. Parking is tight. Well lit. Partial sidewalk. Checkin is through a kiosk. First night the key cards were not working. It took a long time to check in, over 30 minutes before helpful staff member explained issue. I didn’t stay first night. Does serve a breakfast.

Really Small hotel. Clean and does have a small breakfast selection. You can never go wrong with waffles,sausage, eggs, apple or orange juice, selections of teas and bagels and muffins. Nice staff and close to States Ave. Felt safe as a single traveler as well. Close to quick bites and the highway. Will recommend!

1st room had strong smell of smoke so had to change rooms to ensure we didn’t get the $100 surcharge for smoking. The next room’s shower was not operational and they had no maintenance staff on hand to fix it. Just wanted a simple room and two didn’t live up to the expectation. It was clean thoigh

Little disappointed that the pool was still closed, but the staff, as always is so nice. Even without the pool I give this hotel a 10. 😊 We travel quite a bit, and most budget hotels, this one exceeds all the others.

The breakfast was adequate. Overall, the hotel was very run down. The hot tub should have just been renamed tub. I’ve stood on warmer rainstorms. The only saving grace was we got a room with a jetted tub.
