Top Kansas City Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Kansas City Sports Complex Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was exceptional, especially Jojo and Leonard. Breakfast was good, bar area as well. The bed was comfortable but the rest of the room was mediocre. Not too surprising since it is an older hotel. Was an easy walk to the stadium, however coming back wasn’t as easy since it was slightly uphill. You could do better than this hotel, but you could also have worse. 5/10"

8/10 Good

"The staff was helpful and efficient. The room was clean, but the coffee maker in the room wasn't working and the water pressure in the shower was terrible"
