My friends and I stayed here for the wedding for two nights and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is located in Lee's Summit so about a half hour drive from Kansas City. At first we were shocked that it was so far from the city that we flew into, but soon realized the private nature of the venue was what truly gave it its charm. The rooms were painted with inspirational words to keep you motivated and energized. Rooms came equipped with small mini fridge, flat screen TV, ample closet space, and a standard sized bathroom. Beds were very comfortable to the point where we didn't want to wake up. A/C was strong in our rooms as well. Additionally, there was so much parking available here that you really can't go wrong. Rooms did not come with a private ironing board. The fitness center was also a 5-10 minute walk away from the hotel rooms but it was definitely one of the nicest centers I had been to in a hotel. Service was great- loved the free breakfast in the morning and the ability to take back some fruit for your room for later. Thank you Unity Hotel for being a great host to my friend's wedding.

We, my daughter and I, had booked an Airbnb near LS, but despite being listed as accessible, it…read morewasn't. Luckily we found the Unity Hotel. The room truly was handicapped accessible. It was also immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and the staff were amazingly friendly, accommodating and knowledgable. The handicap accessible room has wide doors, a roll in shower with a large shower chair built in, and best of all, A RECLINER Chair. I sleep sitting up, so finding a girl with a recliner is very, very rare! We ended up staying four nights which was two extra, because of the snow. When it was time to leave there was ice and snow all around my car causing my wheelchair to spin out. The security guard saw my troubles and called in help. Within a very few minutes, four of the Villages' Maintainence showed up with shovels and ice melt to dig the car out, they worked fast and efficiently, and fifteen minutes later, so could load my chair onto the ramp. The indoor staff were just as amazing. I'd give th Unity Hotel, five stars time 10 if I could.

We got there around 9am and were seated right away with no wait, but by the time we were leaving there was definitely a line forming. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. I especially appreciated that they offer gluten-free options, which can be hard to find at breakfast places. The drinks were definitely a highlight--strong (in a good way) and well-made, which is always a plus! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. Overall, definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and looking for a solid breakfast spot.

I love the vibe of the place with the crystal chandeliers and the writing on the walls. Emily was a fantastic server. She waited patiently while we looked over the vast menu. I ended up choosing the corned beef n' hash and it was honestly the best breakfast I've eaten in a long time and the best corned beef ever. The drizzle of mustard on top added the perfect tang to the tender strips of corned beef. The eggs were cooked perfectly over medium. The hash had a great consistency with a fine chop on the veggies.

If you should find yourself near Unity Village Monday through Thursday and between the very limited…read morehours of 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., AND you would like to try a new, more laid back lunch experience I'd suggest driving on to the beautiful grounds of Unity Village and finding the sign that says Unity Banquet and Dining. There is a very large parking area and the entrance to the dining area is toward the left-hand side of the one story building. Inside, walk down the corridor on the left and pick up a tray just at the end -- then around the corner is the station with silverware and napkins. There is a very nice salad bar with a good variety of fresh items. The day that Sis and I visited, their hot lunch special was a choice of Chicken Parmesan or Eggplant Parmesan, served with baked pasta with cheese and steamed vegetables. I had the one with eggplant, which was good and Sis had chicken and said it was also good. A lot of their regular customers are employees, so signage information with prices, etc. is lacking but if you want to know about something specific just ask someone. Everyone that was working there was very friendly and helpful. The dining area is not fancy and most tables were round with seating for about 8 people. The food was tasty and the salad bar also had soup and bread. As we arrived, we saw one person with a carry out lunch container so that might be another way to try their meal....maybe there are some picnic tables somewhere on the grounds. Unity Village is such a lovely, tranquil property and also has a Hotel & Conference Center.

Our family was looking for an event space for a wedding reception that could easily be used for the…read moreceremony as well. We visited several locations in the Kansas City metro area, but the last venue we visited was Crestview Dairy Events. They met and exceeded our wishlist for my daughter's wedding. We would need an event space that could accommodate 200+ guests where we would have ample parking for local guests and great nearby accommodations for a number of guests who would be traveling in from across the country. We also wanted to host the ceremony and reception at the same location. My greatest concern with the event space was that it was outdoors. I'm from Kansas City and the weather here can surprise you and ruin your day. Crestview has that covered, literally with options to move it into covered space that will accommodate you guests. There are numerous lodging options within a few minutes' drive from the Crestview venue. This is especially convenient for guests who are coming in from out of town and might not be familiar with the area. The ease of accommodation was a significant factor in our decision, as we didn't want our guests to undergo the hassle of long drives after the ceremony and reception. Crestview was completely flexible when it came to catering. They were very open to allowing us to bring in our own caterers, which was essential for us. We wanted the wedding meal to be a true reflection of the bride and groom's tastes and preferences. Another aspect we highly appreciated was the kid-friendly environment. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around and play and be a part of the festivities. The dance floor, an essential part of our celebration, was spacious, which meant that guests had ample room to dance the night away, making it a memorable night for all. The acoustic properties of the space were also impressive, ensuring that the music was neither too loud nor too soft. Parking was abundant and well-organized. We didn't have to worry about guests having to walk far distances, and there was no issue with congestion when arriving or leaving the venue. Also, after parking, hay-rides were available to transport guests who chose not to walk to the location of the ceremony. Crestview also has a beautiful onsite cottage where the bride and her bridesmaids could comfortably prepare and relax without the stress off traveling on the day of the wedding. This was not just convenient, but it also provided a serene and private space for them. In conclusion, Lolo, the events manager, was fantastic and a lovely person to work with. Her focus was solely to make sure my daughter's dream came true. Crestview Events Space in Kansas City is a hidden gem. The combination of its beautiful outdoor setting, its flexibility to cater to personal preferences, and its thoughtful amenities make it a perfect venue for memorable events. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone looking to host an unforgettable wedding or any other event.

At the end of the night, unnecessary drama and unfounded accusations caused issues where there weren't any, and my family who had traveled a long way for my wedding were left feeling very uncomfortable and mistreated. We ended up leaving very late for our hotel because we didn't want to leave my family to deal with the drama themselves until it was resolved. If I had known this would happen, I would definitely have reconsidered this space.

I couldn't taste either the vanilla or the coffee, and there were some strange white bits floating throughout the drink that made it even more off-putting. To be fair, the service was friendly, the drink was made quickly, and the shop itself seemed like a nice place to sit down and get some work done. The atmosphere was pleasant and I could see why people enjoy spending time there. Unfortunately, none of that could make up for the coffee. The drink was genuinely unpleasant, and since that's the main reason I came, I can't overlook how bad it tasted.
