we drove to Kansas city from Chicago to see family. This hotel was close to their house. the hotel is in a very safe, upscale area near lots of stores and restaurants, while being next to the main highway. despite that, it was very quiet. although they were rehabbing the hotel, there was no disruption or dust. Reception was friendly and helpful. free parking was easy and plentiful. there was a bar and Starbucks in the lobby. Wi-fi worked well. the room was spacious with sofa, desk and a small kitchen counter with refrigerator. the beds were comfortable and bedding nice. plenty of hot water, supplies and towels. it was clean and well decorated.
