I absolutely love the Midland Theater, the venue is gorgeous. I plan to attend future concerts there simply because of its beauty. The acoustics of the venue was also superb. Big Boy Burger is definitely a must, food was great, the staff were great

We visited the Zoo which was amazing. Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun was incredible! Very kid-friendly. My 41 1/2" son was able to ride a majority of the rides with us. Legoland and Sealife was fun but certainly more Discovery Center than Legoland.

This is my first visit to Kansas City and I loved everything. The food was fabulous. There were so many options. My daughters and I had a blast at the music scene in downtown Kansas City and it was also easy to get to. Parking was never a problem.

Lots of construction going on which makes navigating a little harder, but it isn't bad. Just pay attention to the signs. They're working on a streetcar project which will be very cool when done! Also the plaza area and Westport are awesome!

The city has a lot of hills but the geography is beautiful. You can also get a great view of Downtown Kansas City and Union Station from the hill where the WW1 museum is located.
"Parking isn't easy, no onsite parking. Valet parking is $40 or park it yourself in a nearby parking garage for $20.
Others a great place to stay.
Excellent location. Walking distance from the midland and T-Mobile center."
"Very good place, good service, clean room. Pool and Jacuzzi are very nice. Good breakfast in the morning 6-9am. Free airport shuttle if needed any time"
"We had a great stay at the Hilton Kansas City Country Club Plaza. The location is fantastic—right near the Plaza area, with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and local attractions. It’s a great spot whether you’re visiting for business or leisure.
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in smooth and offering helpful suggestions about the area. Everyone I interacted with was professional and courteous, which really enhanced the overall experience.
The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. I appreciated the modern touches and the attention to detail in the room setup—it made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a convenient, comfortable, and well-run place to stay in Kansas City."
"I loved the vibe of the hotel, they offer gated parking for $15 extra a day which was nice! The room was fantastic, the only thing I have any sort of issue was that the bed wasn’t comfortable for me or my wife, but I’m assuming that’s because we’ve got back problems. I LOVED the water fall shower. "
"This newer hotel is nestled in a revitalized part of town, and it really impressed me. The harbor view from my room was absolutely stunning—waking up to that sight each morning felt like a treat. The walk up to the carousel fountain nearby was charming and genuinely made me smile.
What truly stood out, though, was the bed. Hands down, the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in—firm with supportive gel pillows that made it hard to leave in the morning. The faux wood flooring was a smart, clean-feeling touch, and I appreciated how much fresher it felt compared to traditional carpeting. The bathroom was equally impressive, with a beautifully tiled and grouted shower that felt high-end and spotless.
My only complaint: room 419 is right next to the elevators, and the noise, especially in the early morning hours, was hard to ignore. Light sleepers may want to request a room farther down the hall.
Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations, and I’d absolutely stay again—just not in room 419.l which is by the elevator.
