Loved the hotel

Was only in KC for 2 days, but absolutely loved this hotel. The staff was extra friendly and helpful, the hotel pool / lounge area was beautiful, and my room had a cute balcony overlooking a nice view as well. I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in KC again.

Excellent staff, from valets, to front desk, to food service providers, to sales manager (a surprise encounter). Compliments end there. Two major problems with room: shower is in tub. Sides of tub unusually high. Floor of tub very slick. Slip and fall potential is high while stepping into tub. Second problem was with bed. Mattress sheet too small for mattress; could not be tucked in and secured. Worse, one side of mattress had 5 inch depression versus other side. Mattress needed replacement years ago. Fitted sheets also necessary. Shared sheet issue with front desk after first night. Issue noted, but never fixed. Was only disappointment encountered with any member of hotel staff.

Horrible stay at a place that chose to prioritize dog yoga over hotel guests. They sent a text welcoming you for coffee in the cafe from 7-9 am. Then closed the cafe at those times for a dog yoga class. Went to the restaurant 7 floors up for coffee, stood around waiting for service, then back and forth to the lobby searching for service. Finally found someone who served coffee from a Thermos in a paper cup with packet creamer for which they charged $5. Pretty certain it was from the cart going to service the dog yoga class. They need to understand and appreciate their core business and customers, which one would presume is not dog yoga enthusiasts. But who knows? They certainly received priority treatment over paying guests. The place also sent out various conflicting messages re: the dog class and which services would be cancelled and guests inconvenienced to support the dogs. I received 3-4 conflicting text messages and other communications re: what they were limiting for the hotel guests so that the dogs could hold their yoga class. I love dogs. I have 3 of them. I don’t appreciate paying $300-$400 per night for a hotel to have it overrun by dogs and their yoga class such that basic breakfast, lunch, and even coffee services are eliminated for paying hotel guests. I travel often to KC for family and business and have stayed here many times. I won’t be back. At least at a $100/night Holiday Inn one can obtain coffee. For FREE, albeit in a paper cup.
