Beautiful property with savvy charm. We felt like it was a swanky hotel and loved the proximity to the KC Plaza shops and dining establishments. The upstairs bar was so cool too! My only beef was with Expedia for not revealing that the pool was closed for the season. (end of September was our stay). Apparently it was closed after Labor Day. Will stay again and look forward to using the pool next time!
