What guests think

Margaritaville Hotel Kansas City draws strong praise for friendly, helpful staff, very clean new-feeling spaces, and family fun like indoor and outdoor pools, an arcade, and activities, creating a lively resort vibe for quick getaways and celebrations.

Common drawbacks include a surprise self-parking fee, no hot tub, occasional pool crowding, and thin walls that allow noise. On-site dining gets mixed feedback—some meals praised, others noting limited menus, slow bar service, or higher prices. The location is convenient to Legends-area attractions, and a shuttle helps, though some guests find it less walkable. Expect a clean, upbeat, family-friendly resort stay.

The room is great and the staff were very nice the parking fee of $20 per day was a surprise and should have been disclosed at booking time. The pool was warm on Friday evening when we got in but on Saturday when we went to go swim the pool was cold we didn't stay very long in the pool. It's a beautiful hotel and the restaurant is very very good. Please consider in the future making charges part of the room in off season and checking the pool temperature often

We just wanted a weekend getaway to celebrate my son’s birthday. The main requirement was a fun indoor pool. This was perfect. I will say it was super crowded Saturday night but we expected that. If you want a fun and affordable stay with kids that want to swim in the middle of the winter I recommend checking this place out. But try to visit on a weeknight so it isn’t as crowded if you can.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic stay at Margaritaville in Kansas City, Kansas! The property is brand new (less than six months old), and it truly shows—everything was extremely clean and beautifully maintained. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The indoor pool was a huge hit, especially for our child. There were fun activities for kids, and the arcade was modern, clean, and easy to use. It was great to have so many family-friendly options all in one place. We also had dinner at the restaurant, and the food was amazing. The crab cakes and shrimp scampi were delicious and exceeded our expectations. To top off the evening, our child loved ending the night with an activity at the kids’ activity center. Every single staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind—always smiling and willing to assist. That level of service really stood out and made the experience even better. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this property to families and anyone looking for a clean, fun, and relaxing stay.

Stay was nice. Newer hotel, set up very well. Surprised by the unnecessary $20 parking fee at check in. I am able to park my own vehicle so skipped the Valet, made the trek up the hill to check in and was hit with a self parking fee. Crazy!

Beautiful furnishings in this new hotel. My husband and I came for a quick getaway. The room felt like a beach resort. Got upgraded to a balcony room and loved looking out onto the pool. Was there on a rainy October weekend so did not swim outside and the indoor pool was full of kids. Wish there was a hot tub and/or sauna on property. Staff was amazing, restaurant was okay - nothing spectacular. The ambience, decor, and service makes this place great. Would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the outdoor pool area.

Everything was convenient and relaxing! I liked that there were plenty of shops around. We forgot our swimsuit and target was just a skip away and we did some outlet shopping. Plenty of food options. The pool was relaxing and the property seems quite new. The main draw back was we found dirty socks in one of the blankets in the closet, and some used coffee lid, made the cleanliness a bit questionable. The staff was great and super friendly.

The staff were nice but you are going to spend a lot of money on additional things like the arcade, restaurant food and drinks. The mom’s rooms are super small, pool was dirty with guests putting their dogs in the outdoor pool. The scenery is terrible, definitely not worth the price. The lady working at the out side pool was racist and clearly didn’t care if you knew,I had to check her on how she addressed my teenagers.They have really nice staff but they are clearly not as experienced in the resort business as they should be. They also don’t have any vegetarian food options which made us have to go to outside restaurants to eat lunch and dinner. My teenage children eventually got super bored and were ready to leave. It was definitely not worth the $510 a night I spent (2)…. We will not be going back to stay there any time soon. Posted pictures of dirty pool, I had to ask them to come and clean the pool.😫

Our stay was very pleasant. Hotel is pretty new so we enjoyed that. The room doesn't feel like a hotel room but more like a costal room in a beach house. My only concern was during our stay after house keeping had cleaned our room while we were gone, we came back to our room during the day and someone tried coming in our room again. I had the door stopper out, so they weren't able to open the door. When I checked thru the peep hole it was a male that looked like he was housekeeping. No one knocked before coming in or said anything either when they realized the door couldn't open because someone was in the room. This was a bit concerning given the fact I didn't see why anyone would come back if our room was already cleaned. I mentioned this to the front desk after but didn't hear back regarding this.

We only spent one night at the new margaritaville in KC but we instantly felt like we were on island time upon arrival. Check in was quick (room was even ready a couple of hours early), rooms are spacious and designed well for functionality, and the pool area was amazing even on a packed day. The pool bar is large however it seemed like they didn’t have enough staff for a busy day and it took a while to get served. Drinks were delish though. The hotel elevators were pretty slow but we heard from some staff members that it was the busiest day they’d had since opening. Our kids loved the arcade area with the snack window and the ninja course at the indoor pool. The restaurant, Landshark, was SO GOOD! We didn’t expect much but everything was delicious for dinner. We also had breakfast at Landshark and it was good but not as good as dinner. The lobby has a coffee shop with any snack you could want, plus there is a gift shop with all things margaritaville and prices didn’t seem over the top. Overall we loved the hotel and wished we could have spent more time. Definitely a place we plan to return.

Overall, this was a pretty average hotel BUT the rooms have zero soundproofing and that made for a not great stay. We could hear crystal clear every sound from the adjoining room and they werent even being loud- we could hear all their conversation, videos watched etc. And same thing from the hallway.

The balcony offered a great view, quiet, cozy, clean accommodations. Helpful staff, great location. My only complaints: not enough luggage carts as well as guests occupying the carts not being considerate of other guests needing to use the luggage carts. Indoor pool is a bit small in my opinion. No hot tub/jacuzzi which was disappointing. We stayed on New Year's Eve night and I feel as if the pool hours should have been extended for the occasion. Checking in and checking out was a breeze. Overall a great stay.

Upon arrival, the attendant informed me that my room had been “upgraded” from the king suite that I had booked to a double bed room. The room was for a weekend with my husband away from our kids. Obviously, if I wanted to 1. sleep in a separate bed or 2. basically have to lay on top of each other to share a bed… I’d have booked the room that way. Probably don’t “upgrade” a room without asking if that is acceptable. It was definitely NOT an upgrade. Also, bartenders didn’t seem super interested in getting orders or refills.

Tried checking in at 4:30pm. They didn't have a room ready and had no idea when. Was offered a couple drink tickets as recovery. I've never experienced this before. With a crying baby, I asked if they could get us into a room as I saw several others checking in getting rooms while I was waiting. After I asked again they were able to get a manager to find us a room. If I didn't "speak to a manager" I'm not sure how long I would've been asked to wait.

Great price for facility / amenities. Easy check-in. Staff were friendly. Very clean. Only suggestion for guests is check in before parking. Parking lot is not near entrance and is a long walk. You get a parking pass so if you don’t check in first, you end up doing the walk 2x.

Facility was great, loved the friendly atmosphere. Everything was super clean and inviting. We enjoyed dinner and drinks overlooking the indoor pool. The outdoor Holiday lights were pretty. We were very surprised to have to pay $20 to self park….the facility isn’t close enough to walk anywhere else at Legends as Maragitaville stands by itself so it felt like a total money grab.

The hotel was beautiful, but I didn’t feel like it was anything special. We went in January and on a week night so we got a good deal, but I wouldn’t have been impressed had I paid full price. We also had to pay $20 to park in the empty parking lot and I wasn’t aware of that beforehand. It was nice to have a restaurant on site, the menu was pretty limited though. The arcade was ok pretty expensive for what you can do. I did like the theme of the hotel it was very beautifully decorated.

No margarita glasses !!! and the drinks contained very little alcohol for the price. The food was OK but when the bartenders have to deliver food AND mix drinks it was chaos. when a staff member tells you that the food is not the best and points you to other restaurants in the area.... what does that say?/ Breakfast options that are included in the price would be nice and paying for valet parking is OK, but self parking is $20 !
