Only stay here if you get a great price through priceline- otherwise not worth the price for an "upscale" hotel. The lobby is misleading-- it is nice and makes you think the rooms are very nice. While the rooms are not terrible, I wouldn't call them upscale as this hotel is classified as. Parking is $13 a night which is... more

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri July 11 - July 15, 2008 for a conference. The experience was unlike any I've ever experienced before...in any hotel. We were given a King suite...(the hotel used to be a Radisson)..the carpets were very dirty and thread bare. The lounge furniture in the living room portion was sticky and... more

I came to the Crowne Plaza without high expectations as it is three-star hotel, but I was still EXTREMELY disappointed. Had I made my reservations through the hotel rather than a third party, I would have immediately checked out. Upon arrival by car on a Tuesday afternoon, we waited for quite some time at the hotel entrance for someone to... more

Our group had six rooms. One was small. Three were suites. The suites are definitely the best. The suites have two rooms, microwave, refrigerator, table and chairs. The regular rooms do not have microwaves or refrigerators. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They are the main reason for my good review. There is no free breakfast. The breakfast buffet... more

My family and I came down to Kansas City to attend a family reunion. Our check-in to the hotel was prompt and courteous but I believe that was where the good things stopped. When we arrived in our hotel the first thing I thought was that this room is small. We had a double bed room and the room was... more

Paper thin walls, lumpy pillows, stiff sheets, abrasive towels. That just about describes our stay at this hotel. The only thing that was good about our stay was the very friendly and accommodating staff. For a hotel of this class, I expected much more. Given the choices in the area, this is definitely on the bottom of my list. I... more

I stayed in this hotel because I was attending a function at the convention center. It was very convenient for that purpose. There is a bus that stops just outside the hotel (the MAX bus) that makes it very convenient for seeing the city. The hotel is okay, but needs some updating and renovations. The room did show signs of... more

The rooms need a major overhaul - dirty carpet, dirty furniture, peeling wallpaper, bathtub with dirty non-slip stickers on the base of the tub...just gave me the eeby-jeebies. For $119 per night in KC, I felt robbed. I wouldn't take my flip-flops off in the room. The only good thing about this hotel is its location to the Convention Center... more

We decided to go to Kansas City last minute for Memorial Weekend. We booked this hotel on Hotwire for $69/night plus taxes. Location: The hotel is downtown, adjacent from the Convention Center. There are restaurants within walking distance. It is about a mile from Union Station/Crown Center. About 5 miles from Westport/Country Club Plaza. Rooms: Rooms were fine. Beds were... more
