The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom and shower were also clean and shower had power. Though thin, towels were supplied generously. There was no cooffee maker in the room.

I booked a non-smoking room but weed and nicotine smell infiltrated into my room and woke me up with nausea and headaches throughout the two days of my stay. Book this place only if you smoke or you don't mind smoke smell.

Most of the guests seem long-term residents and greet you woth smiles. But there were concerning loitering in the parking lots. But hey, its north Kansas City! I felt safe once I entered the property.

The bathroom exhaust fan & light above sink did not work & were dirty. Toothpaste splatters along back of sink & mirror frame. The shower curtain looked like it had crap on it. There was a peanut laying on the bedside table when we arrived. The carpet was well overdue for a cleaning. For me the bed was way too soft & the pillows almost nonexistent. Didn’t have any interaction with staff other than checking in & checking out. I did inform the clerk of these issues when checking out. She said she would let the manager know. When informing her of the exhaust fan & light, another guest spoke up & said none of them work. So I guess they don’t manage upkeep well.

Even though I requested a non-smoking room, the entire building reeks of cigarette smoke.

In the bathroom, the shower-head was leaking and there are no towel hooks to hang your wet towel. To be fair, I did not report the leaky shower-head to management and just used my hand to screw it tight and that helped, but it was still leak leaking.

The folks at the front desk were

I’m well aware that you get what you pay for, but not having a towel hook in the bathroom and the fact that everything, I mean, everything smelled like an ashtray.

It is a transient-style hotel; the smell of cigarettes is noticeable in the hallway and even inside the room.
On the first night, the other guests made us feel unsafe; however, the next day—coinciding with the World Cup—people attending the matches arrived, and we felt more at ease. Otherwise, we would have switched hotels. The front desk even has bulletproof glass.
The staff was friendly, considering they moved us to different rooms twice—first due to a dirty bathroom (walls with mold) and then because of a musty odor.
If you decide to stay at this hotel, please keep these comments in mind.

We only saw the staff at check-in but asked other guests where to find things. There were no amenities. No light breakfast, no blow dryers, wi-fi kept cutting out. They did have a laundry room that we did not use. The keys did not work. Desk clerk told us not to put them near our phones because it might mess up the signal on the key. At no time was our keys by a phone. We were able to get in each time, but it took between 5 to 10 minutes to get it to work.
The entire place was filthy. And for that, we paid $220 for the night. FIFA was in town, but no games the night we stayed. Regularly, their usual rate is apparently $69.
Actually, I cannot say one positive thing about this hotel.

Expedia really did me dirty on this hotel. I read through reviews and booked because it had almost a 7/10 rating but definitely do not recommend. The whole place smells of cigarette smoke as soon as you step inside. The vibe is super sketchy and, while the bedrooms have AC, they are muggy and damp. Neighbours were pounding on each other's doors in the middle of the night and we were woken up at like 2am by the phone ringing and immediately hanging up. Thankfully we didn't have bedbugs (we checked) but it was definitely not what we expected based on the pictures and reviews on this site. Do yourself a favour and pay the extra $10-$20 for a room literally anywhere else.

Pictures don’t do this place justice. Checking in was fine, but as soon as I walked in the side door to my room I was immediately hit with a cloud of cigarette and marijuana smoke. Even once I got to my room this never went away. Upon getting to my room there was what I could only describe as blood stains on the bed comforter and sheets. Also, I don’t even know what was on the walls. I was in the room for no less than 5 minutes and already booked another hotel room and immediately left. 5 days later I am still trying to get a refund for this. Somehow a manager has never showed up to process this. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!

This property was very disappointing. The common areas were extremely unclean, and there was a strong odor throughout the building. The listing did not indicate that the environment would smell like smoke, which made the experience uncomfortable. I reached out to the hotel and to Hotels.com about the condition of the room, but neither was willing to offer a resolution. Based on my experience, the condition of the property did not match what was presented on the booking site.

You know how people have a top 3 list of something? This ranks third in my bottom 3. I've been to worse hotels, but this one was a great contender to the other two. I don't know where to start. It was loud, it was extremely dirty, and walking down the halls felt like walking into a dive bar or down the street where bums urinate frequently. Though we had a non-smoking room, the entire place smelled like stale cigarettes and deep regret. ZERO amenities or basic hotel items like toothpaste, shampoo, iron, etc. You have to go to the front desk and pay them for those things... Which they didn't have on-hand. They took my I'd and a ten dollar deposit for the use of a hair dryer and an iron, but never provided the hair dryer. Their vending machine me gave the wrong items and they had no drinking water.

The \"renovations\" we're done by... Well... Let's just say you get what you pay for. The got water and cold water knobs were reversed and only half the water actually came out of the showerhead. The temperature fluctuates, so while you showered, it was back and forth between really hot and really cold water the entire time, no rhyme or reason.

Housekeeping left trash from the previous guest on the floor in the bathroom, so that was awesome. I highly suggest you keep your shoes on the entire time, the carpets look like they survived a nuclear blast and the top blankets were probably purchased in the mid 80s and are faded and threadbare.

Management? Same caliber and quality.

The property was gross. The hallways smelled horrible of smoke. Inside the room, it was so loud that I could hear people 3 rooms away, and then non stop construction sounds in the rooms above me or around me, with drilling or some other machine sounds going on. The pillows on the bed were cheap and would not have worked for me. I knew that with the noise and condition of the room, I wouldn’t be able to sleep there and so I did not actually stay more than 1.5 hours at the place. Because of the cancellation policy I did not even challenge the reservation. Bullet proof glass on the clerks desk should have been a sign. Creepy hallways. I mean, if someone wanted a creepy vibe stay, this would be a place for that.

We arrived at the hotel thinking it might have been recently updated inside, but that definitely was not the case. The outside of the building was full of trash, and there was even vomit near the area where our room was located, which was really unpleasant to see when arriving.

We specifically booked a non-smoking room, but the room smelled strongly like smoke as soon as we walked in. The king-size bed only came with three small pillows, which felt pretty inadequate, and the room was also lacking towels.

The one positive thing I can say is that we did not encounter any bed bugs. However, the photos on this site do not accurately show what the hotel actually looks like in person.

We stayed for two days while attending an event, and fortunately we were gone most of the day and only came back to the room to sleep.
