I've stayed at multiple other hotels in this area recently and this holiday inn is definitely my pick! We also went to the in hotel restaurant called Toast to Toast and it was well worth the money, It was absolutely delicious. We got the Texas French toast and the biscuits and gravy platter (gravy on the side) and were highly satisfied with not only the food, but the staff there was amazing as well and the wait time for our food was very quick! Definitely check out the restaurant if you stay here!

I usually prefer the Express chains over the standard Holiday Inns, but I was really impressed with…read morethis one! It was a lot nicer than expected, and everything felt as if it were recently updated. The hotel sits in a bit of an odd spot - It's right off the highway but is a little hard to see at first. We stayed here for three nights and had no issues. The staff were friendly and although we didn't check it out, there is a restaurant connected to the lobby as well. I would gladly stay here again! Pretty close to everything in Kansas City.

This hotel was just nasty and absolutely reeked of piss, marajuana, mold, and who knows what else…read more there were numerous stains on our beds, blankets, and pillows. Multiple items around the pool, halls, and rooms were broken or some even molded/rotted, as well as dirty socks and bandaids laying around the pool side. Overall, this hotel was just DIRTY, and the staff does not seem to care to do anything about it. I do NOT recommend staying here, not only was it dirty but it felt extremely unsafe as well.

This is not a luxurious hotel, but we did receive good service. This is more of a 3.5 star rating,…read more but due to a clogged tub and crappy shower head with limited water pressure, it's 3 stars. The room was interesting because it had a microwave, 2 burner stove, dishwasher, full size sink, and full size fridge. It was large and had a decent layout with a corner bathroom, desk, living room, and sleeping space. The decor was outdated and the bathroom shower could have been cleaner. The shower curtain was cloth, which I dread in a hotel room. There was no complimentary breakfast, but there was a little snack shop with overpriced sandwiches, snacks, drinks, and some personal items. Pet friendly for a small fee, accommodating dogs up to 50 pounds, which is a plus.

This American Legion Post serves as a private rental hall on the top floor and a bar that serves…read morethe public on the bottom floor. I attended a celebration of life gathering in the rental hall last weekend and then stayed for a couple of drinks in the bar afterwards. The building is quite a hodge-podge of connected rooms and appears that is being maintained by volunteer maintenance people on a shoestring budget. I assume the city inspector must be a member because some of the things that I saw sure were sketchy. I would have no issues renting the hall, since I assume the rental charge is very reasonable, just not a place I would use if I was needing to impress my guests. The bar is dimly lit and cluttered but serves a potent drink on the cheap. The 2 female bartenders that I encountered were friendly enough and the clientele all seemed like regulars. If you are looking to make some friends in low places, this is where you should start. Both floors can be entered at ground level, plenty of parking and a huge cool 20th century military cannon out front.

I'm reviewing this from the point of view of it being a dive bar, so take that into consideration…read more If you don't know where this is, it's one of the hardest dives to find in Kansas City. We tried on several different occasions to find it, failing each time. We'd pull up and ask people in their yards if they knew where it was -- most knew there was was an American Legion very close by but none could say exactly where. We even had the address but that only took us to someone's house. Finally we solved the mystery... there are two parallel streets with the exact same name. One dead-ends, the other does not. We needed to be on the dead end. Once we figured that out, it was easy to find. Especially since it has a huge military cannon out front. This is probably the darkest bar I've ever been in. It also borderlines as being the most redneck. If you like hearing the 'N' word every couple of minutes, then this is your kind of bar!

They were extremely strict on what/how much you could have. Not a terribly lot of food and once the last table was called to eat, the staff immediately closed the doors to the food area. There seemed to be an abundance of food left but shut er down. Wonder what they did with all the left overs Anyway. I personally had just enough as I prefer to drink my calories but most at my table were still hungry.

Ruined Our Wedding!!…read more My wife and I got married on September 28, 2024, and we wish we had taken our money elsewhere. Russ will sweet talk you into choosing this place. Yes, it's nice and can be breathtaking, but the problem lies within the customer service on the day of the wedding. We had family and friends come from out of town to attend our wedding, some of whom had never been to Kansas City before, which made us feel very special. The night before the wedding, Russ called and informed my wife that we were over our guest list limit and needed to make an additional list of the people we really wanted to attend. My wife was up all night crying out of frustration because this was very last minute, and some people were going to be upset. The wedding day was a horrible experience! First, Russ's assistant (whose name I can't remember) was the worst! She's black. I believe she's racist against her own kind. She stirred up trouble the whole time, accusing the wedding party of smoking weed on the property. Keep in mind, weed is 100% legal, and if someone smoked it before arriving, it's their business. Second, there were no lights in the groomsmen's section due to a storm prior. When we asked if we could get a light to shave or whatever, Russ's assistant was very rude and even got mouthy with my groomsman, who showed her nothing but respect by saying "Ma'am" and "Please." Even after she was done chewing out my groomsmen over the light, she walked away, then turned back to finish chewing us out, informing us that certain things "were not her job." Her attitude eventually rubbed off on Russ, and he started talking to me like I was just a thug off the street, despite the fact that I had paid over $10k for this venue. Third, they started trying to do crowd control with our guest list by refusing to let our family and friends in. Some had traveled from out of state and could not get in because Russ's assistant didn't use the list we stayed up all night creating. Instead, she passed the list to our daughter (who doesn't work for the company and wasn't present) to retype, which resulted in a number of people being removed. They let all the older people in (50+) and told anyone who looked young that they weren't on the list, even though they were. Then there were the pictures. It took about 45 minutes to get the lights working outside for our pictures. Because they didn't let our younger family members in, a lot of older people had left before the reception even began, leaving us with a semi-empty room. My only wedding! My lifetime memory ruined by poor customer service and micromanagement. DO NOT USE THEM!! PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
