Very nice boutique hotel, great location, helpful staff
From the moment we stepped on this property until the moment we left, we were treated like kings and queens. The front desk was exceptional. I believe it was Amy who went way above and beyond every single time we asked. I would stay here again in a heartbeat it’s a beautiful place and the service is beyond five stars.
The staff members were amazingly helpful and the hotel was beautiful with a unique charm. I enjoyed every minute of my stay there and highly recommend it for anyone visiting the KC area.
Great hotel on the beautiful Plaza in KC. Very friendly staff, very clean, amenities were great. Stayed at several hotels on the Plaza, this being my favorite
Your restaurant was wonderful. The manager and waitress were perfect. We had room service (again server very good)
Our suite was great.

If we return to KC you will be our hotel!
Came here on a strong recommendation from my mother-in-law -- and she was right! Really nice upscale hotel in a great location adjacent Country Club Plaza, easy parking, quiet rooms, incredibly friendly staff -- we really appreciated the surprise upgrade! Thanks!
