Top Kansas City Art Institute Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Kansas City-Country Club Plaza

8/10 Good

"Property was fine, I would never use Expedia to book a Hilton property again. Hilton does not give credit to my Hilton honors account. Expedia should disclose that. Will go back to booking my own trips"

Hilton Kansas City Country Club Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in the Plaza"

Hotel Westport Kansas City, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We love this hotel! Friendly staff, great location, excellent decor. The shower doesn’t get particularly hot, and that’s my only complaint."

Aida Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is a beautiful boutique hotel in a renovated old house in the historical district near Nelson-atkins museum of art. Everything in the hotel is well thought and designed, and the bedding is comfortable. However, come with an older building, there is limitations: there is no hot water after 1 am, and if you stay at room 2b, the pipe in the enclosed column made loud humming sound at around 8 am, if you are a light sleeper, then it is a big issue."

Spark by Hilton Kansas City Plaza Streetcar

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for a Chief's game. The staff was friendly. It looks like they are working on improvements. The rooms were clean. The breakfast was minimal compared to other places you can stay, but the cost of the rooms was very reasonable. The parking lot on the premises is small so you will have to park in a different lot around the corner. The hotel had security there, maybe because it was a game day (Monday Night Football). It didn't take long to get to the stadium."

Truitt Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"good"

Southmoreland on the Plaza an Urban Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location to explore the museum and the city! Will choose to stay here if I would visit Kansas City next time."

"It was a great spot. Not too far from where we wanted to visit in KC. Everything we needed for when we wanted to have dinner in"

Southmoreland Mansion-Sleeps 28!

10/10 Excellent

"This property was everything we hoped for and more. The house was very charming. The rooms each had their own personality and private bathroom which was perfect for our group. The gathering spaces were comfortable and exactly what we needed, and the hosts were great to work with."
