Top Kansas City Zoo Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Kansas City Sports Complex Hotel

8/10 Good

"So close to the parks, very convenient! One of the best included breakfast areas with PLENTY of tasty options! Literally one of the best compared to other like-priced hotels. Hot water/shower pressure was great. Microwave, fridge, AC were all clean and worked well! My main issue was that I arrived during a rain storm and the parking lot is long and not many side entrances, so I had to walk a bit in the rain after parking."

InterContinental Kansas City at The Plaza by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great vibes throughout the hotel. Amazing live music in the evenings and a perfect pool vibe."

The Fontaine

10/10 Excellent

"A great long weekend stay for a family wedding. The on- site bar and cafe are wonderfully charming, and the staff really attentive and helpful overall. We loved our stay and the location/ walkability of the area. Let’s not forget the plush bedding and soft sheets ensuring a good night’s rest. Thank you!"

The Three C's...Calm, Classy & Comfortable!

8/10 Good

"I loved the location. It was minutes away from the places we wanted to visit. Nothing fancy, but we didn’t come for fancy—we wanted a comfortable, affordable, centrally located place with a good bed, kitchen facilities, designated parking space, and room to relax after a hard day of sightseeing;) From looking at the listing photos I had expected it to be further away from other houses than it was, but that wasn’t a problem, just a slight surprise. If light bothers you at night, be sure to bring a sleep mask, because there are no blackout curtains. Everything you might need in terms of general household supplies was on-sight: dishsoap, laundry detergent, extra toilet paper, other sundry toiletries, towels, etc. There were just two of us, so we had plenty of room to spread out. All in sll, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it, and I would stay there again."
