The hotel was beautiful, but we had to leave the hotel at 2 o'clock in the morning. Due two issues with the elevator we both got stuck twice also had to leave the room due to no here. The room was about twenty something degrees, so we had to get another hotel..

No heat, again!
This is the second time we stayed at this hotel and the heat didn’t work. The room was cold and when we called the desk it sent us to voice mail. We couldn’t leave a message because it was full. The front desk was no help. We come once a year around Christmas to see the lights and have a nice dinner. We will be switching hotels next year.

This property was just ok. It has definitely aged and needs updating. Their bathrooms especially could use a whole refresh. Check in was slow with a huge line, not sure why. Staff was pleasant but wouldn't say friendly. The only staff member I would give kudos to is the lady tending bar, wish I would have gotten her name. She was friendly and was working so hard to get everyone their orders quickly.

This property once was great but has fallen into decline. Overall, it needs renovations in the rooms, but most importantly, housekeeping and maintenance. Small things like the room was covered in 'scratches' in the paint that should be cleaned up, to larger things like a toilet that takes 2 minutes to slowly flush with nothing in it, to the grab bar in the shower having one side completely pulled out from the wall. From a cleanliness perspective, the room was very dirty, from debris on the floors to the most disturbing, which was a dried bloody handprint on the shower curtain. I was only there one night, so after a bedbug check (*which appeared clean), I just did a grin and bear it. That said, with as many great hotel options in the area, this one will be off my list after this stay. If the staff allows things like the maintenance to get that bad, the fact it wasn't clean seems like "Culture as expected".

Attempt to cancel reservation
Was unable to make the trip, called 11/20 to ask them to cancel reservation was told they couldn’t do it even though website says you can cancel on or before 11/20. Said it was not made through hotel and they could not cancel and would not help getting in touch with them. I’ve reported this to my cc company and explained what happened, they said they would file a dispute claim to take charge off of my card. Very unprofessional in every way and will tell everyone able the issue I had with your hotel.

Valet/Luggage Carriers = Great, the Front Desk not
The Bell hops and the valet people were so kind and helped us several time. Such great attitudes and smiles. So, my husband who is on crutches went down early one morning and put the do not disturb sign up so I could sleep in for a bit. At aproximately 9:00 am I took the sign down and left the room. My brother-in-law shared that you had to request your room to be cleaned and bed remade so David called the front desk to ask that our room be cleaned. The desk person said no problem I'll take care of it. We came back to the room later that afternoon and it was still unmade. David called again and got the same message. We had a full day of Engagement party events to attend so we got back around 9 pm and of course our room was still unmade. I went down to the front desk and the front desk person went into the managers office and came back to tell me that the manager said I had a do not distrub on my door. The manager did not try to make it better, did not come out to talk to me and was basically uninterested. So the front desk person a woman I think said she would find someone to come make the bed and bring towels. I said I would take towels up as my husband was exhausted and needed to take his medications. About 30 or so minutes later a young woman came to the door but I had already made the bed and taken care of the trash and put the dirty towels out. This was supposed to be a treat to stay on the Plaza. It turned out not to be.

We always enjoy staying at this hotel. Rooms are spacious, well appointed and clean. The staff are very helpful and willing to address any issues no matter how small. The staff at breakfast were friendly, fast, and happy to accommodate our requests. Would recommend this hotel for a stay in Kansas City to all.
