Our first room we were in had a broken door lock. Called down to the front desk and they accommodated us by switching our room, which was nice. Our room was clean. The property was quiet. Breakfast was just alright—liked that there were two meat options (bacon and turkey sausage).

Room was clean. Front lobby check in counter was saturated with a liquid; my arms were soaked. Found out it was Febreeze. WHY they had to saturate it with it is beyond me. Check in guy was a bit of a jerk, hence 4 stars. Katie at checkout was great.

Great staff! I wish I got the employees name who got us checked in and then I needed some help and he didn’t even hesitate to help with my World Cup parking. Really impressive. It’s close to shopping and a Starbucks and only about 10 minutes or so from the baseball and football stadiums so super convenient location.

The hotel staff was helpful in printing directions to the Truman Library, when our phone and google map on our car failed us. Plentiful tourist brochures. The room was clean, well furnished and comfortable, with easy-to-function temperature controls and blinds, bathroom too. Coffee available in lobby 24/7. Minor drawbacks, bathroom shampoo, conditioner, lotions adequate but not great, while breakfast cereals, fruit, milk and pastries adequate only. But partner found waffle, biscuits and gravy, eggs & sausage tasty.
