Top River Market Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lotus Kansas City Merriam

8/10 Good

"The room was not clean when we checked in. However when brought to the attention of staff, they took care of the problem."

Wyndham Garden Kansas City Airport

6/10 Okay

"Our recent stay was disappointing overall due to how outdated the hotel felt. The TVs were difficult to navigate, had poor picture quality, and didn’t allow easy streaming or connection to services like Netflix, which is something most travelers expect today. The beds were also extremely hard and uncomfortable. In addition, the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers had not been refilled, which made the room feel overlooked and poorly maintained. There were also no USB outlets or convenient charging options anywhere in the room. Overall, the hotel could really benefit from updates and better attention to guest comfort and basic amenities."

Sonesta Select Kansas City South Overland Park

6/10 Okay

"The room was ok, spacious and good to accommodate 5 people for a couple of nights, but definitely old. Beds were comfortable and pillows are of good quality. Cleanness was subpar, especially bathroom. Bedsheets and pillows for the sofa bed were missing when we arrived. There was no room service during the four days we stayed there, however I noticed the shower gel was replenished during our stay."
