Surly check in staff started me off on the wrong foot at this my first (and last) time here. Room was bare bones, with window heater that had trouble finding a setting that wasn't too hot or too cold. Minimal toiletries; room cleaning between nights was disappointing. It was however only $89 per night, which is very low for KC. It is on Main and my room looked out into a shabby neighborhood of houses. Both Friday and Saturday nights the hotel was crowded and very noisy, with drama in the hallways late into the night. Breakfast was adequate, but staff was dressed in sweats and it took me a minute to realize they worked there. I would stay further up Main next time I was in this area.

I stayed here for two nights to see a sporting event at the football stadium. The staff was very friendly upon check in. I was the last to arrive on a night when the place was sold out. They had caught people smoking in the room next to ours and immediately apologized and wanted to offer us another room, but could not because it was sold out. I understood and did not smell a hint of smoke in the room.

The breakfast was large and hot and fantastic for a mid range hotel!

The location is great, close to all of the major parts of the city you will want to explore (as long as you have a car).

The only problem is that the walls are paper thin and the smokers next to me were up quite late talking and partying. Honestly, they were not even that loud, the walls were just thin so people talking at a normal level you could hear.

I would go back if my travels take me back to KC.

Stayed three nights on business. My experience was wonderful from the beginning to end. The location is perfect on Main Street -- equidistant from downtown proper to the north and The Plaza area to the south. There are a generous number of very nice restaurants in The Plaza.

I was treated with the utmost courtesy by helpful staff members from front desk to manager to maintenance. The king bed is very comfy, and I loved having a microwave and fridge. (Every room at this property has them now!) The entire property including grounds, common areas, my room and bath are just neat as a pin.

There have clearly been welcome improvements beyond the fridge and microwave. Internet access is usable, and the 42" LCD television is quite nice. The HVAC unit is among the quietest I've encountered, plus it cycles properly rather than having the fan run all of the time.

The next time business brings me to Kansas City, I'll certainly be staying here again!

Our second time staying here when seeing a concert at Midland Theater. One of our favorites. Very nice accommodations, especially for handicap accessible folks, staff is very friendly and helpful, free breakfast is good. Great location near the Power and Light district. We will always choose Fairfield Inn Downtown when in Kansas City.
