Sonesta Select Kansas City South Overland Park
The staff was very friendly and warm - parking is easy. No breakfast available during our stay was disappointing but not a dealbreaker - we enjoyed the pool and did not have problems with other guests or noise. Would come back another time.

Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City
Restaurant was not good. Not much to do. Kids overran the indoor pool. Outdoor pool was out. Pretty inside but not worth the stay.
