Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Kensington?
The best time to visit Kensington, Kansas, is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months.

During spring, the weather is pleasantly mild, and the landscape begins to green, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the local parks or visiting nearby natural attractions. Temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, superb for enjoying the town's relaxed pace without the heat of summer.

Autumn also offers agreeable weather, with cooler temperatures, generally between 10°C and 20°C, and often clear skies. This season is particularly good for those who enjoy the changing colours of the foliage and prefer a quieter travel experience before the winter sets in.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Kensington hotel for you.

One Key™—Expedia's free travel rewards program—gives you instant access to discounts with Member Prices on Kensington hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Booking an Expedia hotel and flight package is another great way to save, where bundling can result in significant savings. *Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
