Kansas City offered a lot more than we expected on our drive-though road trip. This Holiday Inn is a fantastic location near the Plaza - an outdoor shopping mall where you essentially drive to the stores you're looking for. Mid-level and high-end shops, and a movie theater as well. You can walk both to the Plaza and within it -... More

We stayed here for three nights thinking we got a great deal given the good location and free parking, but we never imagined we would have such a horrible experience. First of all, the rooms were old and did not include a refrigerator and/or microwave. We called to request a refrigerator and/or microwave and we were told we would be... More

I stayed three nights for business; the hallways/rooms are on a split level floor, so you end up carrying your luggage up 5 steps...even if you take the elevator up to your floor...(very strange). Hallways are dark and you have a distance to walk if you need the elevator/ice/ etc...if your room is located at the opposite end of these... More

SPARC98, We do have one corridor that requires guests to go up 5 steps if their room is past that point. This affects a very small number of rooms and I'm sorry that this was inconvenient for you during your stay. If you return just ask our friendly front desk staff for a room that avoids that hallway. I do... More

Absolutely fantastic location - can walk to the Plaza for shops and restaurants as well as the Nelson-Atkins and Kemper museums. Free parking is a huge plus as no other hotel in the area offers it. We did not find the size of the spaces to be an issue as there were tons of vacant ones, as well as outdoor... More

This is an older Holiday Inn and it is a very confusing labrynth of long hallways and few elevators. Because the main hotel connects to what appears to be an older building with only 2 floors, there is no real good way to get to those rooms on the 2nd floor - including a set of steps that a luggage...
