“Hilton President, KC, MO”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Check-in was a breeze. Room was spacious even with a pillar in the middle. Great view of downtown. Walking distance to Convention Center, restaurants, bars and AMC theater.

When we opened the fold out sofabed, there were no linens. I called and someone arrived within minutes, made the bed with expertise and was gone.

The vending machine would not take my dollars, so I had to go down to the shop in the lobby.

One night there was a loud party till midnight. I called at least four times to let them know this was going on and they comped that night.

Room Tip: We had corner suite 1110. If you forget to draw the shades, the sun will wake you at about 7 AM.

Thanks for your feedback, sounds like we threw a few curveballs at you. Sorry. I am pleased to see that we handled the issues to your satisfaction. Interesting note about the pillar in the room, such a historic building and those are some of the little nuances you might encounter.
Great tip about the sunlight too, i had not heard that before. Looking forward to your return to Kansas City!

“Neat, historical, polite and great service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

Perfect location for convention visits - 1 block walk, and close to a lot of bars and restaurants Beautiful old building and recently renovated. Feels small. Polite and friendly staff. Great find.

Mark,
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with the Tripadvisor community. I am very pleased you found the hotel just right for you visit. The location is excellent, but without the great service you pointed out, the location would be nothing.
Thanks again!
Philip

“Great location”

Get the suite, it is worth the extra money. One block to the power and light district and H&R BLOCK building

“Nice Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

The hotel was historic and had many beautiful features in the common areas. The rooms were were average and clean. The first day we were there the internet would not work and I called the front desk to have a woman give the the contact information for the service provider and told me to "call a technician I am too busy". I did not feel that was my responsibility. The next day I had much better luck with a guy named David who was very helpful. He went out of his way to help me straighten out a problem with our reservation for the following night. It is noisy but you have to expect that due to the location in the power and light district. Overall I would stay here again.

Thanks for your review, certainly some room for improvement. I was pleased to see your recognition of David, he is a fine associate.
We will do some training based on your comments about your first interaction with the front desk in regards to helping with your internet issues.
Thanks again for your time and your comments.

“Historic but noisy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

The President is a lovely old hotel that is tastefully refurbished. The rooms are comfortable but not well enough lit. There were only bedside lamps and a desk lamp so it is impossible to read anywhere at night but in bed or sitting at the desk. The fitness center is excellent by hotel standards with a good range of modern equipment. I was there just a week before Christmas and the hotel was really noisy with holiday parties. There were also a lot of drunk people in the elevators and liquid (who knows what) on the elevator floor. I will go back again - but not close to Christmas

Indeed our hotel and the Power and Light District can get noisy. Looks like we did not do a great job of providing you with a nice relaxing visit.
The weekends can be a little rowdy downtown, and yes during the holiday season there are a good deal of parties.
Hopefully you can return at such a time where things have quieted down for the season. Thanks for taking the time to share your candid thoughts with us about your visit.
