Top South Kansas City Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Kansas City - Independence

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Clean rooms and great staff!"

Hotel Lotus Kansas City Merriam

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was quick and easy, the pool and hottub were both nice sizes. Breakfast was tasty, hot and they constantly refilling while we were eating. We didnt go down until about 9:15 and there was still food. Check out was easy. All the staff were nice and friendly. A good location to jump on the highway and get to out destinations. I would definitely stay here again."

The Fontaine

8/10 Good

"Overall the Fontaine was a very nice hotel. The beds were comfortable and the location was good, just a few minutes walk to the Plaza. The pool was nice, but quite small and not a lot of lounging chairs. They were filled up when we arrived around 10am. I was also surprised there was no coffeemaker in the room and th coffee shop in the lobby didn't open until 7am, which is too late for me. We did also have the air conditioning go out, but it was fixed fairly quickly."
