Top Watkins Community Museum of History Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City

8/10 Good

"Clean room, comfortable beds and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Olathe

8/10 Good

"The hotel is a little older, it looks like it is slowly being updated. The mattresses are very old, springs coming out on the corners and very soft, the carpeting looked relatively new. The breakfast was plentiful. If the mattresses were replaced I'd give it a higher rating."

StoneHill Lawrence, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Laurie was very helpful and nice at check in then providing me more wash, shampoo and conditioner bottles. Ty! Another staff member was not so nice- I got locked out of my room while doing laundry. (The key did not work.) Went to front desk- thought it was funny- (why?) Then I asked to charge my account for 3 quarters ( .75) to finish drying. Response-No we don't do that. I had to go back up to the 3rd floor with the new key, get $1 bill, bring it back down to the front desk to get the 3 quarters then back up to the 3rd floor to feed the dryer. (I paid $352.05 per night because I attended the KU graduation. Super expensive- total price gouge.)"

Quality Inn & Suites Lawrence - University Area

6/10 Okay

"Hotel replaced clean towels and removed trash in the room only, never remade our beds, the mattress I was sleeping on had a huge blood strain. Air conditioner in the room wasn't working correctly. The staff manager was very friendly and helpful when I had to reschedule our stay. Unfortunately the complimentary breakfast wasn't good at all. Waffle maker wasn't working correctly, ran out of milk for cereal and the apple juice wasn't cold. Next time I will pay the extra money for a more expensive hotel."
