Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The only complaint I'd have is that we stayed in the west side of the building and there was a flashing billboard shining into my room all night due to not having blackout curtains
Nice clean property, easy parking, maid service only every other day, only one of two elevators operating, nice to have mini frig and microwave in room
Hotel is a little outdated but they are in the middle of major renovations. Hotel is central to a lot of activities, museums/ballgames etc. Breakfast not included but affordable. Restaurants and bar on site, they had a bar right by the door when you walk in for evening nightcap. Would definitely stay again and again whenever we return to KC!

Very dated hotel for a Hilton. Staff were all about talking with them selves. Front desk attendant was pleasant and quick check in. All other staff seemed like they were mad at the world unfortunately.
The property was under renovations, the ice makers only worked on one floor, the elevator floors were dirty. It was definitely what I would expect a Hilton to be. You can do better, let's just say the Best Western we stayed at was kept up way better than this hotel. Great location though.
The staff was the best part of our stay. All very courteous and friendly. We were especially impressed with Ryan , he was the night lobby manager I think.
Elevator floors and carpet were terrible. The room was very used, wall paper peeling, dirty behind chair hadnt been vacuumed in a while. Just over all not good.
