Top Kansas City Zoo Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Kansas City Plaza Streetcar

8/10 Good

"need more parking"

The Fontaine

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, but miss an in-room coffee maker."

InterContinental Kansas City at The Plaza by IHG

8/10 Good

"The rooms are big, clean, beds comfy, balconies nice. We stay here several times a year for date days. The only thing I would say they could improve on is their bathroom tubs don't drain quickly, so if you like long showers you are standing in about 3 inches of water. It may not be every room, however, they have been the same in all the rooms we have stayed in."

The Raphael Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Great historic hotel. Very clean. Very friendly staff. Quaint bar and restaurant with nightly jazz music. Will definitely stay here again."

Sonesta Select Kansas City South Overland Park

8/10 Good

"I enjoy this hotel they are always friendly and I love that you have a sliding door in the room leading to a balcony with chairs and a table to sit outside your room."
