Hands of Freedom Monument, Shawnee Yakınlarındaki Oteller

Overall I am satisfied with my stay. Positive feedback- The staff was very friendly and accommodating, every single one of them. The selection of pillows on the beds was wonderful. They were labeled soft and firm, however I'm not sure that all of the labels were correct. Negative feedback- One of the trash cans in the dining area was overflowing on the evening when we arrived. There were flies on it. The next morning at breakfast the trash had not been emptied. The bed was beyond uncomfortable for me. It was very hard, but I know that is a personal preference. The pancake machine at breakfast was constantly out of pancakes, and there was no syrup. The only choice in toppings was caramel and raspberry sauce from a squeeze bottle. Who eats pancakes without syrup?! I haven't figured out what I'm an expert in yet, but I'm sure it will come soon since I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

Using new tap card for room. Clean room with a bathtub, hot but not super hot shower water. TV set with many channels. Comfortable bed with 5 pillows. Excellent breakfast of eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuits and gravy with cranberry juice, orange juice, and apple juice and good coffee. Right next door to a Denny's.

We stayed in this hotel because it was suggested by the other couple we were traveling with. We were visiting the Kansas City area as a two night getaway. We had a nice room, but was surprised that the room rate was so high for a location so far from the attractions in the metro area, and for a place that charged extra for prepackaged breakfast items. The location is fine for people passing through on Interstate 35. Also, why bother building such a tiny indoor swimming pool that was not at all suitable for actual swimming by adults. We didn’t use the pool on this trip. It might be okay for small children to play in.

We stayed here on January 5. The property itself was very nice—large rooms, comfortable beds, good breakfast. Our problem was dog-related. We checked in around 8 p.m. and went to our room to be immediately met with the consistent barking of a large dog in the adjacent room. We immediately called the desk and asked for another room. They didn’t have any other king rooms so the lady at the desk said she would come down and take a look. My husband waited for a few minutes then went up to the lobby when he didn’t see her. There was a steady stream of people checking in and the desk attendant was completely alone. My husband talked to her briefly and she called the room where the dog was, but of course, no one answered. She tried to move us to a room with 2 queens, but said she couldn’t register us to a different room because we had booked the room through AAA and the system wouldn’t allow her to make us keys. Eventually, she was able to call someone who told her just to take us to a room and let us in. To make things worse, the lady at the desk had a disability and walked with a walker. We felt terrible that she had to walk us to our room. We couldn’t believe there wasn’t a manager or security person who could have helped out. At some point during the night, they figured out how to make us keys and put them under our door. While my husband was in the lobby, another man came to the desk and said he needed another room because there was dog poop on the floor of his room. We’re okay with people travelling with their dogs, but this hotel obviously had some issues.

Stayed here recently for a conference; requested and received Suite Night Upgrade to the Presidental Suite! WOW! Now, the hotel and surrounding area had been without power for the previous 22 hr and just regained it a few hours before I arrived. Suite was def warm- and I thought it was because of the power outage. Tried to turn up the fan which didn't change a thing. (in fact, I turned all 3 thermostats I found in there down to 60 and high fan and it never changed over 4 days! So- this suite is on the 38th floor and spans the width of the building so different views of the city from LR/DR and BR. Large 4 poster bed-- but there is a 4 inch ”ledge” around the mattress which is waist high to me (at 5-6”) making it extremely difficult to get into! Then discovered the bedside table and lamp was too far away to reach from bed...3 of the 4 pillows were incredibly lumpy- glad I only needed one pillow! Flat sheet on the bottom which wasn't long enough to be tucked in on top or side so it looked like a war had occurred in the morning (oh- and 2 comforters on the bed but don't know if it ever got cooler than 75 or so!). HUGE bathroom- big double size tub (but the row of lights over it had 3/4 of bulbs out), big steam shower with fabulous water pressure (but mildew on ceiling and amongst the marble tile), large bottles of fancy products in the shower (that could not be opened for those of you worried about that-I'm not, but see lots of angst about this). Several spots in teh BR had mildew, and lightening wasn't great for makeup. LR has 2 love seat sized couches (found some sort of canisters in between the seat cushions- ew!) large desk, table for 8 on the DR side plus a full kitchen (but a dirty black plastic serving spoon was on the stovetop!). Lots of nice artwork throughout. Carpet was stained in many areas. Never saw a TV remote though TVs were in the bedroom, bathroom and LR (didn't look real hard in LR, wasn't watching TV anyway, but thought it was odd). Housekeeping did come in after 2nd night, remade the bed with the same (wrinkled) sheets. Conference rooms were pretty darn cold. Oh, and did tell front desk that the AC wasn't working, but nothing changed. (Heard someone else on 38th floor complaining too). Lounge hours are limited- never made it there. Did have a bite to eat in the restaurant bar one evening- def not worth the calories or $. Unfortunately not much around open after 5 or 6, esp on a Sunday evening. Lobby is gorgeous, lots of seating in many areas incl tables with outlets for working.

Stayed here while in town for the Hollywood ****** 400 at Kansas Speedway. It was a short 15-minute drive to the track, and unlike hotels closer to the track, the prices were not gouged out of this world! We greatly appreciated that. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy with friendly employees. This property cannot be more than a few years old, and everything was clean and looked brand new. Room was quiet, bed was incredibly comfortable, everything was clean, and the coffee and breakfast was always fully stocked. We plan to attend a race at Kansas Speedway next year and will try to stay here again. The location, cleanliness, and amenities were everything we were hoping for.

Good, good, good, good, good, good Hotel parking: free parking spaces available Hotel room type: Very large, similar to an executive suite. The decoration is also very exquisite. Hotel front desk: Very nice and polite
