What guests think

At Fairfield Inn Kansas City Downtown/Union Hill, travellers highlight a convenient spot for Union Station and the WWI Museum, consistently friendly staff, and a popular, varied breakfast, alongside ongoing renovations and mixed experiences with room comfort.

Cleanliness is praised in many rooms, though several reviews cite mildew or mold odors, maintenance issues, and occasional pest sightings. Facilities are basic: a small pool that can be cold or temporarily closed, a compact gym, occasional elevator outages, and on-site parking that typically costs extra. Streetcar and road construction can affect access, and some guests report street noise and isolated concerns about the parking lot's security. Expect a convenient, service-forward stay that delivers on basics rather than upscale polish.

The hotel was being renovated and we were not made aware. When we pulled in to park, there were boxes of toilets sitting right in front of oir parking space. There was tape on the floor around the elevator and lots of dust and scratches in the elevator. The elevator also quit working while we were there. Our room was nice and clean and comfortable. We look forward to trying ths place again once it is renovated.

The hotel has a good location, being close to the city center made a lot within walking distance in an otherways not so walkable city. The gym was small, but had the necessary equipment for a good workout; treadmills, mats, bench, bands and manuals(weights). The breakfast was good and varied from day to day. I would definitely stay here again!

It’s not situated in the heart of anything! The area around it looks like it will eventually be revitalized. Felt safe, but not much happening down there. Looked like the hotel was getting ready for a big remodel. And a new streetcar service going through will be nice. Had to pay $20 to park their parking lot which I was not impressed with.

When we got here we found out parking cost $20. Then, the reason we picked this hotel over others was the pool, was closed for renovations. This should have been said on the hotels.com website. We decided to stay in KC instead of driving home to give the kids some pool time. Not cool. Then the room was noisy from a vent that was blowing in the bathroom all the time. Had to leave the door closed to be able to sleep. They had a breakfast buffet that was being used by employees. One lady had a ear piece in connected to her cell phone and walked around talking to her friend for everyone to hear. She didnt care guests were trying to get food and didnt care to listen to her conversation. When we left she was at the counter still occupied with her best life.

We had 2 reservations because we came in a day early. The room was not cleaned at all after the first day except the trash was taken out. They left the dirty towels, didn’t leave any clean ones, and did not make the bed. I asked for another trash can to be put in the room but that never happened. When I asked for towels, the front desk man ran up the stairs with them as soon as he could. I was amazed. I asked for a quiet room away from elevators and ice machines. We were on the front of the building right by the road and the stairs were across the hall from our room, which people used a lot in the evening. There was a vibration hum coming from the ceiling in the bathroom that must have been on the roof. We had to keep the door closed to be able to sleep and could still hear it. It was the smallest room I have ever had in a hotel. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had a wonderful water pressure in it. This hotel is under renovation so it should be better soon.

Our room’s air condition was terrible. Either freezing cold or hot without ever changing the thermostat. Have stayed at this property many times and have not had this issue in any other room. The property was quite loud with children running up and down the halls with no intervention by hotel staff. Again, have not had this problem in previous stays. They have added a new parking fee of 20$ per day which is fairly new. Hotel is clean and centrally located. The changes at the property make others in power and light more reasonably priced with better location.

Stayed one night. Staff were great. Fantastic breakfast. Lobby and breakfast area nice. Room was kind of old musty smelling. Older room for sure. Small. Bed was good. Elevator out on check out which was a huge pain with mobility struggles for my husband and all our stuff. Everyone going up and down stairs at same time. Too expensive for sure but you’re paying for downtown KC.

The night front desk clerk was very rude. He was upset when he had to do “extra work because of Expedia people”. The lady that was in line before me was furious because he had put a $520 hold on her card that should have only been $30. When asked he said “you will receive those funds back in 7-10 business days”. He was not it.

I stayed one night so I could sleep since I had been staying with my child at Children’s Mercy (3 hrs from home) I wasn’t sleeping well since it’s a busy hospital which is to be expected. So I booked a room nearby at a Marriott hotel because I always chose these and have positive experiences. I had multiple issues here and when I tried to address the issues I was not treated respectfully or contacted back multiple attempts were made on my part. The room was muggy and musty (took awhile to cool it down) no towels, soap or shampoo. I didn’t make an issue of it since I just needed peace and to sleep. But then it was very noisy outside, noisy guests in the hall the front desk not dealing with the constant running, screaming, knocking from this family. The ice machine is right by the rooms and very loud all night, the laundry room is close too and was being operated from very very early on and constantly from staff.The breakfast wasn’t refilled and i went early. I politely informed the worker and she ignored me then didn’t look at me and said ok but never refilled it. I told her no rush I just wanted her to know. I came back later and it still wasn’t refilled. I wanted to be able to sleep, have a shower, peace, and a hot breakfast since we’d been in a hospital during a scary situation with my very ill daughter. Upon checkout I let the clerk know and she didn’t act like she cared. Shady place, managers, workers. No one has called back and Expedia agent tried and failed.
