Hotels near Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport - MKC, Kansas City

It is a fantastic city for a getaway weekend! The Legends Outlet and the Plaza are great for shopping! We stayed at the Marriot near the Plaza and it was beautiful to see the city lights from the 18th floor!

There was nothing good about our 2 night stay. The hallways were hot. The air only worked in our rooms. The sheets & towels were dirty. We requested to be moved from the first set of rooms that had a horrible unclean smell in the bathroom. The next set of rooms were worse. The guy at the front desk was not frienldly at all.I emailed the manager for this location on Monday to express my concerns & I haven't received a reply back. It seems like this location obviously has had complaints that they care not to address! I wouldn't suggest anyone to stay at this hotel.

The people are incredibly friendly and polite at the hotel and throughout the city. The food is not great. Lots of National chains and the local ones (with high recommendations) we visited, which were not chains, were mediocre. Airport was a joke for such a big city. A new one is coming, I was told, but going in and out was not impressive.

Loved the Country Club Plaza for shopping. They could use at least one large department store like Dillards, Macy's or Nordstroms . If you have a chance to eat at Jack Stack they best barbecue hands down in the KCity area! Also check out Potbelly for a cool refreshing salad or shake!

I spoke with the hotel today 09/15/2023 which was very disappointing. Very professional but everything was blaimed on a 3rd party booking. I used booking.com to place the reservation but it is quite different when you arrive. There should never be any confusion when booking and getting to the hotel. If this is how it works I will never use this service again. I should feel comfortable that the line of communication between 3rd party providers and the hotel are crystal clear since the 3rd party providers at that point are representing the hotel. And I will never stay at a IHG property again when something could be blamed on a 3rd party provider instead of the property itself just presents problems for me. My money is important to me and I felt like my problem to IHG WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. Very unprofessional!!!

We were there specifically to visit the WW1 memorial museum. The traffic was busy, but not bad. The museum was the best we have ever seen! And we have seen quite a few. Beautiful, powerful, sad and haunting throughout. The Orangewood hotel next to the airport was clean, well run and very reasonable, and the dinner food was surprisingly good! We really didn’t see any other part of the city before flying out.
