Top Kansas City Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Fontaine

10/10 Excellent

"Joey and Hayley at the rooftop pool were amazing!"

Best Western Plus Kansas City Sports Complex Hotel

8/10 Good

"We spent one night at the property to attend a baseball game on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. The hotel was convenient and close. Saturday evening was loud throughout the night with motorcycles coming and going. The hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful."

The Raphael Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"THE STAFF IS DELIGHTFUL MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS NO SNACK/BAR IN THE ROOM"

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kansas City South

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel."

Cascade Hotel, Kansas City, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice modern hotel, extremely close to the country club Plaza shopping and restaurant district. Decent size rooms, very clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Only slight missed steps were a noisy refrigerator that squealed most of the night in our room and could’ve used a pool, but that wasn’t the primary reason we were there. Would stay at this hotel again for sure!"

Extended Stay America Select Suites - Kansas City - Stadium

10/10 Excellent

"There was some miscommunication about pets at first since expedia states dogs and cats are allowed even though the front desk attendant said only dogs were. The opening hours are inconsistent between the building and corporate as well. Rooms were clean though, there were great amenities, and the attendant was very kind to warn about nightly fireworks at the time in advance."
