Surprise $45 valet parking charge a bit of a scam considering you aren't allowed to self-park prior to check-in. Charge was not advertised and excessive. Otherwise, the stay was quite nice and in a very convenient walking distance to the T-Mobile Center for event.

There is no valet parking. You have to park in ramp across alley and haul your luggage down stairs and across alley back to hotel. They also charge you for this! Very inconvenient. You can unload in-front of hotel. However, it is not easy when you are by yourself and would have to leave luggage while parking vehicle. Again, no valet or concierge to watch your luggage. Rooms are nice and hotel is clean.

A classic old hotel. Throwback lobby, Drum bar, beautiful tile and iron work. Definitely a 1920\'s feel and well preserved. The place is on the National Registry. Rooms are small but clean. Staff is courteous but there could be a few more of them. The location is great, right in the center of "Power and Light district. Most of the "action" is within walking distance. Overall, a nice experience if you love the classic old time hotel experience.

Everything was perfect except the ice machines. We were in floor 4…. Ice machine was broken. Walked one floor down… broken. I got tired of checking floors and just went to the front desk and they hooked me up. Seems like an easy thing to get fixed. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

Maybe even some back ground in the hotel would have been nice. My room didnt have towels nor hand soap or shower soap. Not sure what happened here kind of a bummer especially as nice of a place it is. I called for room service and frint desk abd the phone kept on ringing. No one answered so i had to go down stairs to request the towels. Whcih i didnt get and had to wait for them to be delivered to my room.

Just an fyi!!! 😉… hotel was so good, pretty cool to walk thru, breakfast was good also!! The parking garage was packed full, it was so hard to find a parking spot, people never park correct. Even for a midsize car it was hard to park.. ughhh but we made it…. We were only 4-5 minute walk to McFaddens an Mosiac…. The places were going too. We ubered to Prevee, pick up was super easy!

This is a really nice hotel. The room was very clean. We were at the end of the hallway on the 8th floor and it was very quiet. I love that it is within walking distance to the T-Mobile Center and the Power and Light District. Literally the only complaint that we have is the toilet in room 830 needs to be updated. The lid on the back of the toilet doesn't fit well and the handle had been broken and really felt like it was going to break off in your hand when you used it. But other than that everything else was great from check in to the parking and checking out. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

It was clearly a busy weekend for this hotel, which I’d stayed at about 10 years ago. It probably needs a refresh. The tub was stained and the body wash dispenser was empty. The hotel front desk was ok friendly but not what I expect for Kansas City. Overall still a fantastic place to stay in a great location!

And the pipes knocked all night long keeping you awake.

They put us in an adjoining room and just past 6 AM I woke up to a child screaming and laughing, and then had to listen to the parents’ fairly cleat conversation the rest of the morning. Also, thermostat is programmed to reset to 65° every time you leave so we were constantly fighting the cold. In some ways, a charming old hotel, but I had a better nights rest at hotels that cost about a third as much. Thanks Hilton

There wasn't a view. Just another building. It's an old building. Really needs an update. The elevators were very small. Clostrophobic in fact. On the plus side, our room was larger than expected.

Typically stay at another competitor close by. Wanted to try something new. This was our first stay. Loved how close it was to T-Mobile Arena. Beautiful and historical , well kept hotel. Overall the hotel is a 5 star in looks ( charactor) cleanliness and customer service. The ONLY negative is the noise around the hotel. We didnt get much sleep hearing motorcycles quite a bit all night and when no motorcycles the traffic was still evident. The front desk did apologize for the noise and said the police dont do anything about the motorcycles. This is unfortunate and a deal breaker for me in the future to choose this hotel.

Disappointing Experience and Booking Confusion I recently stayed at the Hilton President with my family, expecting the usual Hilton standard. Sadly, I was left disappointed. There was a mix-up between the rooms for myself, my brother, and my cousin. My brother was allowed into my room without verifying his identity – a huge security concern! To make matters worse, upon arriving late from our delayed flight and to a late check-in, there was no room available for us because they had given our room to my brother. Leaving my 2-year-old and us nowhere to sleep. My brother ended up giving us his room and spent hours in the lobby until 2 am trying to resolve the issue, eventually paying out-of-pocket for another room just to sleep. This trip was marred by these issues, and I hope Hilton addresses them for future guests.

When we checked in, it was quite chaotic in the lobby. A lot of people checking in for their stay, but the staff were respectful and calm during it all. I did not have issues checking in, but others seemed to be having issues, but the staff kept calm and took care of us all. Two blocks from the concert venue; so that was super convenient.

Check in time is listed as 3pm. At 4pm our room was not ready. The front desk checked us in and we were told we could proceed to the parking garage and wait for a call when the room was available however when we got to the garage the hotel attendant would not allow us to park and even when we request he use his walkie or phone to confirm the situation, he refused and I had to call the front desk who confirmed we could, in fact, park and were checked in but they had forgotten to give us a parking tag. The manager brought us out a tag and told the attendant to allow us to park. The attendant kept having us move the car around to allow other cars to pass, there was not a lot of area to do so, so we were in the way of everyone and it just made for a very hectic process. Overall, the hotel is very clean, beds are comfortable, and location to the T-mobile center was very convenient. Check out was also hassle free. Our biggest issue was with the hotel parking attendant not listening to what we were saying and also being unwilling yo make a simple call to fix the entire issue.

Beautiful Property! I've stayed here a couple of times when attending an event in the area and usually love it. This time was a little different. A wad of Kleenex's was shoved into the Kleenex box. When pulled one out they all came out, nothing left but the ones all over the counter. Didn't want to use because someone else touched them. We stayed for breakfast $15 per person for the most terrible buffet we have ever had. Eggs were cold and hard. Bacon was also cold and hard. They really need to do something about the breakfast or don't charge for it.
