Aloft by Marriott Leawood-Overland Park

.

Check in on 2nd floor is a pain. Guest room windows hadn't been washed in years -- there was an attractive view on the plaza side, but you could barely see it for the dirty windows. Air conditioner or something else was making a lot of noise throughout the night, like the beating of a drum for an American Native dance at a Pow-Wow. However the location is excellent for our needs.

There were carpet stains and torn furniture. The sassy guy at the front desk was rude. We parked in the front to check in because you’re not aware where guest are to park until after check in. Then we go up to our room to check it out got 3 minutes and he hunts us down in the elevator about moving our car.

The Desk host said they usually had breakfast, however, it was not served both mornings we were staying at the hotel. There was complimentary coffee each morning. The parking was not connected to the hotel so you had to walk further than normal to the garage where you were to park. At night, I could see where some would think this is inconvenient and possibl dangerous.

Aloft Leawood is one of our favorite go toes when in Kansas City. Convenience is forefront with high quality restaurants, shopping and entertainment all within walking distance. The second level bar with outdoor seating is a must.
