8/10 Good

"The lady that checked us in was very friendly and helpful. We asked the night clerk for an extra blanket. He said he’d bring it to us but never did. The location for the Chiefs game was great. The breakfast was very good also. The hotel appears older needing some updates. Paint and carpet."
