“Excellent location for our visit to UMKC campus.”
Location, ease of check in, parking was simple once explained. Hotel bar prices very reasonable. I liked that it was really different from the usual chain hotels we stay in. My spouse noted that the hardwood floors in the room was a plus - we could roll our luggage in with ease.

“It was good but would not stay there a second time due to accommodations”
Our rooms were on the same hall but not adjoining like I had called ahead to the hotel and asked them to do. When we got there we were told they were adjoining but when we went up to our rooms they were not and they told us they couldn't accommodate that request after being told our rooms were adjoining. Full size beds. They do not have queen size beds. That was a disappointment but my fault for not reading more closely

“Front desk staff”
Location to plaza. Affordable Uber for two people to Airport (average 30dollars full fare) Room size was reasonable.

“Great, modern vibe close to shopping and restaurants”
Modern look to rooms. Barn door for bathroom, comfortable bed, mix of floor and carpet: Carpet under bed area with vnyl flooring on main walking areas - much clearner feel than all carpet. Rooftop pool cabanas very inviting for groups, sunny pool area outside and service from Lyric in the bar area very good. If it's not pool weather, the lounge area of bar has fireplace and lots of comfortable seating. Walking distance to the traditional shopping area of the Plaza and lots of good restaurants - Coopers Hawk Winery . Front desk staff very helpful. Less floors than the other big chain hotels, so the elevator is quick to arrive. Quick, part highway, 30 minute drive to the airport. Check both Uber and Lyft as there was a $30 difference in pricing for the same period.

“Nice for a night in a very friendly town”
The staff were helpful both in check in and in apologising when the restaurant was empty at lunch. Also the person at coffee in the morning did a great job. The tub and shower were excellent.
