Best Western Plus Kansas City Sports Complex Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Frontier staff was very helpful and friendly"

Hotel Lotus Kansas City Stadium

10/10 Excellent

"Air was nice and cool. Pool open as promised. Walkable to Arrowhead Stadium! Breakfast was generous! Staff helpful and nice!"

Hampton Inn Kansas City Southeast, Mo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the staff were very friendly. I did noticed the walls in our room could use a wipe down and the door jams were smudged. It was a little noisy but nothing that wasn’t to be expected. The sounds of sirens and traffic was expected because of the location of the hotel by the highway and off/on ramps. This did not take away from the experience of our stay. The front staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking lot was well lit and we had no trouble finding a parking spot. Breakfast was served between 6am and 10am, we got there around 9 and there were plenty of food left. They had 3 waffle makers and one made mini waffles. They had a variety to choose from including vanilla or strawberry waffle mix. Check out was easy and they remembered us from check in the previous day. Starbucks is within walking distance and there were plenty of options for food nearby. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area."

"Everything was excellent except for the little bathroom. We had a great visit."

The Fontaine

10/10 Excellent

"It is a beautiful hotel with large comfortable rooms. It is close walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed cocktails and appetizers at the roof top pool. Our server Tamara did a great job. We were there on a Saturday so the pool was very busy and we were a large group of 9. Tamara had great customer service. She did a great job keeping up with the large crowd and the cocktails and food were both very good. The front desk staff that checked us in and answered any questions we had during our stay also had great customer service."

"Cute house. The property is very clean. Check in was smooth and communication with the host was great. The walk to the Stadiums is about 2.5 miles, and in the 95 degree heat we chose to drive. Super easy in and out of the stadium parking from the location. AC kept the house cool.."

Modern Midtown KC Home Ideal for 30+ Day Stays

10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend staying here to a couple attending concerts/events at the Starlight Amphitheater. The house was very clean, furnished with comfortable beds/cozy bedding, and living room seating. Not the best neighborhood. We never felt unsafe, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking around the area after dark. Overall, great little house that is definitely worth the price!"
