“Noisy, but some nice amenities”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is right across the street from Union Station. It's a working train station and I heard train horns ALL NIGHT, even through my industrial Mack's Silicone Ear Plugs. I was on the quiet (pool) side. Staff was sympathetic but since I was already on the quiet side there was nothing they could do. Air conditioning was quiet. Bed was adequate. Outdoor pool looks large and has nice swim lanes painted on it - wow! The gym is very well equipped with lots of gear for both free weights and machines (incl stair/treadmill) - thumbs up! Catering was EXACTLY on time for our meeting and did a GREAT job. Hotel's AV team was top notch and things were PERFECT. I was only there for 1 night and we had a meeting there. Restaurant server seemed surly; we wanted to sit down at a table as a group and dine/work, but all the other patrons wanted to hang out in the bar and drink so we were made to feel like we were really inconveniencing our server. Restaurant food was a tad expensive, or I would have had a KC steak. Note that this hotel is downtown, a good drive from the International airport; GPS was a real lifesaver here; I never would have found it. It's actually close to the downtown airport, but much more of a haul to KCI where most people fly in.

Room Tip: As stated above, if noise is an issue ask for a pool view. But it will still be noisy.

“Older Trying to be New”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

This property has been around a while and is trying hard to let its name carry it. While it is nice and pleasant and well located the rooms are not all that impressive. The rooms do offer the higher end extras, (plush robe, starbucks coffee in room, plush towels and bed sets), for the name and the billing one would expect more out of the overall look and feel of the room. My advice is do not get caught up in the name, save a few bucks and find a nice lower tier place to stay which will likely end up being equally as good.

“Staff is generally great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

I've been staying here a lot. The staff is friendly, the rooms are nice. I usually get the workout rooms and am always impressed with the soundproofing - I never hear the treadmill going in the adjoining rooms.

Food is hotel food. Meh.

“Not really a 4-star”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Took the train from St Louis to KC and stayed at the Westin. Wonderful location. Checkin clerk asked me to produce another credit card because mine "wouldn't work." Told him it worked 30 minutes ago at another location. He said the problem was with his computer system. Told him to get his problem fixed because that was the card I was using. He switched to another computer. That mess should not have involved me.

We stayed only one night and the maid came to our room at least four times the day we were checking out. She started knocking at 8:00 am and kept it up until we left at 11:00 am. Irritating.

There is a $5.00 charge to use the fitness center. At these prices, one would think it would be included. There was a lot of equipment, but it was not state-of-the-art. My husband wanted to get into the hot-tub, but when he turned on the jets, an alarming amount of debris and ugly dirty water came spinning up. UGH!

This once was a beautiful hotel in a wonderful location. Unfortunately, it is poorly managed.

“Most relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

My wife and I stayed at Crown Center in December of last year, and the entire experience was enjoyable from start to finish. The opportunities for things to do and see are all right there for you in the complex, and the staff of the hotel was particularly accommodating. We were staying at the hotel for a company party. I was singing in a trio as part of the companies entertainment and the front desk managers were very helpful in finding a place for our group to rehearse. When asked on the spot for help, they simply made it happen. No stress. It was a great evening. Thanks for a great time.
