Review from Karen G.
The Aladdin scores points with me for having a reasonable room rate when we called same day while still being in a good location. I also thought our room was quite stylish, though it was small. Even though it was small, they still had a comfortable chair and plenty of space for our stuff.
I also like that the hotel is not a cookie cutter hotel. The bar area upstairs that overlooked the lobby was nice.
Parking was directly across the street and easy to access, and they let me leave my car out front while I took my bags up to the room since we were leaving shortly to go get dinner.
And the location was great.
That said, the room really was small. I'm used to a room that is big enough to hold 2 double beds, and this one just held one queen with not much space left over. The bathroom was at the foot of the bed which I didn't like since it is more likely to disturb the sleeping person when one person gets up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.
They also added HVAC ductwork in this retrofitted hotel instead of having a window unit you find in most hotels. That's fine, except the ductwork made the ceilings feel really low.
My other negative is that I when I asked about red wine by the glass in the bar, they had 3 options...and the cabernet was the worst wine I have every had. I couldn't handle more than a sip. I don't know if it was corked or I just didn't like it (I'm not a wine connoisseur) and it was late so I just let it go.
That said, I would stay there again. I would probably pay a little extra if I was staying more than 1 night...make sure your room is big enough to hold a king or 2 beds and you should be fine.
Oh...online it said it was a Holiday Inn (which it is) and we were looking for a Holiday Inn sign...which is small and hard to see. We ended up driving around the block before we realized that the Aladdin WAS the Holiday Inn. -

We ran into this place through a special rate on Hotwire, and we'll be back.
The pros: Clean, unique hotel. Centrally located (just a couple blocks from the Gas and Light District). Clean rooms, friendly staff (suggested a great pizza place--thanks!). Plenty of snacks/drinks to buy in the lobby, and there's a restaurant connected to the hotel as well.
The cons: Er... mm... I guess the water pressure was too strong as someone else noticed, but who cares? The TV was kinda static-y for a while, but it cleared up. The only real complaint I have is that parking is pretty tricky in the area. There are some ramps, but none connected to the hotel, so you're gonna walk, unless you want to pay for Valet parking ($15). That's a bit steep for parking at a hotel that has no connected parking, but overall I didn't mind that much. -

There were good points and bad points. The good included the staff responsiveness and politeness. The location was also good if you had a specific reason to be downtown near the convention center. Our room wasn't very large, but I didn't really expect it to be. The water pressure in the sink was too strong and there's no real parking nearby unless you go late at night so you can pay for the hotel's valet service for $15 which can save you the hassle of searching for a spot when you need one if you'll be out and about during the day.
The room was very clean, the DVD player was a nice touch too. Our room was adjacent to another party who were very loud consistently and because it was a connecting room, it always felt like they were going to try to come in. But save for that, you can't beat the price of this place coupled with the location. There might be better options locally, but it was certainly an above average experience for what amounted to Motel 6 prices. -

I stayed two nights, and the room was OK. (The A/C was very noisy, though.) The bed and comfortable, and the bathroom OK, if a little cramped. There was no clock. The neighborhood was fine. Parking was valet only at $15/day.
The biggest problem I had was that the free Internet was barely working. You could not log into the free wireless at any time during the weekend and on Friday the wired Internet wasn't working either. (I asked the Front Desk and they were aware of both problems -- it wasn't my equipment.) Wired access started working on Saturday, but was painfully slow. -

My wife and I stayed here one night while we were in KC based on some of the reviews online. The rooms were tiny. There was barely enough room to walk between the dresser and the bed. The bed was comfortable but the walls were paper thin. We could hear every word coming from the upstairs neighbor through our air vent. We called the front desk and after four visits from them the party either left or passed out. Overall not a good experience.

Terrible service. Tiny rooms. When we checked out we noticed the linens that were to be placed in our room after we left were crumpled up lying on the floor in front of the housekeepers cart. Last time I ever stay here.

I stayed here for a conference in KC. It was enormously cheap in comparison to the conference hotel and was right beside it. Literally...I could have fallen out of this hotel and gotten to my meeting (I might have once too).
Nice decor for an old hotel. Small rooms but not too small. Very professional. Had free wifi...free workout facilities. Nice location near the Power and the Light district and a cool little artsy district too. It is right beside the performing arts center.
Free breakfast.
I would stay here again in a minute. -

I will definitely be back here. The room was clean. It wasn't a huge room, but it was just the right size for a single traveler.
Things I liked:
1. Parking is literally across the street (pay only).
2. Location: Right by KC Power and Light District.
3. Very clean. The rooms are on the small side, but I've stayed in a lot of "historic" hotels and that's par for the course. Hotels just used to be smaller.
4. Price was cheap. I got it through Travelocity.
5. Rooms have DVD players. I hate trying to figure out what channel is what in a new city. I brought my netflix DVDs from home and watched them.
One complaint: My room didn't have a bathtub. Just a shower. It was okay, but I take a bath nearly every day and that kind of sucked. -

DO NOT STAY HERE: DIRTY, CRAMPED AND RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED.
I can't believe all these positive reviews. If I could give negative stars, I would. We were on our roadtrip across the US and we came into Kansas City really late. Our guide book recommend the Aladdin so we decided to stay there.
What a mistake! Our first room had dirty sheets (stains, hairs) and an in-window air conditioning unit (why?!). We called downstairs and demanded to be moved. We were: to an even smaller room, albeit with taller ceiling and central AC, passably clean sheets (still not convinced they were changed) and a semen stain on the headboard.
I have stayed in hostels that were cleaner and better maintained than this hotel. Go elsewhere! -

Funny story -- My friend and I were supposed to go to a wedding. The wedding was moved last second due to weather and we were the last ones to find out. Completely frustrated that we missed the wedding we decided to get wasted at the Power & Light District. My friend happened to have a friend that was staying at the Aladdin Hotel for business and was away for the weekend. Hello free hotel room!
Before I got shitfaced I did actually look at my surroundings. The hotel is located near the convention center and has parking across the street for a little over $10 a night. Our room had a perfect view of the Marriott hotel. For those of you who are not familiar with the Kansas City Marriott, one entire side of the building lights up with different designs and looks amazing at night. Very neat.
My first thought when I entered the lobby is "snazzy" but then I felt cramped. The ceilings are low. I felt a little caved in even though I'm short. The elevators are tiny. The theme continued from the hallways to the hotel room which was a mini shoe box for toddlers. The lime green walls don't help make the room feel any bigger.
NOTE: If you have more than 2 people in your party you may want to stay at the Crowne Plaza where the rooms are like castles compared to the Aladdin.
That's another thing, the decor is strange. Its modern but the green walls are off-putting. The room we had came with a space-age chair that was anything but comfortable. We joked that it was for decoration only. The plus side is that the room came with robes. ROBES! I felt like a Queen.
The front desk staff was helpful in trying to find a pizza place that was open until 3AM. They even let us borrow a DVD, "There's Something About Mary", from thier tiny DVD collection. Its always nice to find a front desk staff that is tolerant of drunkies.
Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Aladdin. Its within walking distance to restaurants, bars, and the AMC movie theater. I don't recommend this hotel if you're going to be spending a lot of your time in the hotel. You will go crazy and your shins will be bruised from constantly bumping into the bed, futuristic chair, tiny desk, toilet, and other miscellanous things that normally shouldn't be in one's way but is when you're staying in a shoe box meant for ants.
Also, keep in mind, I did not pay for the room. -

Oh man. Not the best hotel experience. Not the worst, either, but that's not saying much considering all the cheap spring break trips I took during college...
My fiance checked in the day before I got there but gave the hotel my name so I could just collect a key upon arrival. The lady working the front desk (honestly, one of the biggest reasons for the two star rating) was so unfriendly and I could feel her literally hating her life as she scolded me for not having my name attached to the room. She eventually found it and gave me a key without telling me where the elevators or anything else was, or even what floor I was on. Alright then! Was really surprised at this considering how much one of our great Elite members, Jenny P., loved this hotel. (DId you really get champagne when you checked in?)
Our room was small and for some reason they gave us a handicapped room? Bars everywhere, a big seat in the shower (did get a good laugh out of that one) and it was just awkward. The shower head wouldn't stay up so I literally had to crouch down close to ground level to wash my hair... how's that for a visual? We called maintenance to fix it and they never came (I'm pretty much over it by this point) and when we went to the front desk annoyed they switched us to a better room.
Last major issue... I'm actually allergic to feather pillows and anything down, and that's what the pillows were, along with the top of the mattress. I called two nights in a row to get a foam pillow and they told me they were all being used. Insanity! They finally gave one to me on the last night and it was a cross between a rock and a rolled-up sleeping bag. Needless to say, I'm STILL trying to catch up on sleep this week.
All of those things combined with shoddy wi-fi service makes me shake my head 'no' about staying at the Aladdin again.Listed in: Oh No You Did Not, KC, and Not Just the BBQ, The Joys of Hotels

Review from Sara B.
Council Grove, KS

I learned a valuable lesson about "boutique hotels" after this stay. Take a questionable, old hotel owned by a chain that doesn't value cleanliness, throw lime green paint on the walls, and call it "boutique." This place was gross. I've stayed at Holiday Inns before, just by luck of the draw, and have found them to be poorly maintained and not very clean. I found a pubic hair in the sheets, near the pillow, as I was preparing to get in to the bed. I immediately called the manager and was given a new room. With the memory of the pubic hair fresh on my mind, I decided it would be a good idea to inspect the sheets in the new room. And guess what? ANOTHER hair! I have blonde hair, this was a long dark hair, tucked between the duvet and the top sheet. By now, it was past 1 a.m. and I was exhausted and didn't have the energy to try and move to another room. I did complain to the manager the next day, but he just shrugged and gave me a lame 'sorry'.
Please, inspect your bedding carefully before getting in, who knows what parade of horrors you will unknowingly crawl into if you do not. I have a feeling they don't always change the sheets there, maybe just fluff them up and call it good if they look decent.
Also, the bathroom vanity, the apron part of it, was really dirty and there was another, umm, suspicious looking hair hanging off the front.
Oh, and the WiFi didn't work. -

I LOVE this hotel. I think the champagne upon check in is a GENIUS idea. It's so good!! I have stayed at this hotel a few times in the past few months and I've had a great experience. My last one wasn't that great (smaller room) but overall good. The decor is tooo cute! I love the towel-made elephant and the green walls. My only con is the slower-than-your-grandma elevator. YIKES! Other than that I would recommend this hotel!

I really had fun at this hotel. It's owned by Holiday Inn but it feels like a boutique hotel. Hell, they offer you a glass of champagne as you check in. The rooms are fun and tiny but well laid out. It's a block away from great nightlife and I never felt unsafe walking between the hotel and the Power & Light district.
Cons: Valet was $20/night! Not cool when you have two cars. The hotel did a poor job of blacking out the room. The fan blows directly where the blinds come together causing a flickering effect from outside light. I pushed the chair up against it and it solved it.
Tip: Use your rewards card because they tend to upgrade those guests for free! -

This was a really nice hotel. Free champagne at check in, a nice bar area and room was great. We would definitely stay here again when attending a concert in Power & Light.

Great architecture, valet service, and pleasant staff. Elevators can be somewhat claustrophobic though. Full service with a bar and restaurant. Rooms decorated nicely but tad on the small side. Clean and easy walking distance to the Power and Light District in KCMo.

My first stay here. In-room now. Great facility with all the amenities needed and becoming expected of better rooms. Valet parking, rooms have multiple electric outlets for all our stuff we 'need'. Clean, quiet, good tv and internet services. I will surely return when the need shows. Thanks folks. Well done here.

Review from Brenna P.
I stayed here for two nights on a weekend in October. We got a great deal on the room rate, and check in was a breeze. We were given a corner room on the 10th floor, overlooking mainly building tops. Upon entering the room, I quickly noticed how clean the room was.
We had a queen sized bed with soft pillows and fresh linens and a fresh comforter. It sucks that you have to double check for things like bedbugs these days, but I do, because they've been found in far nicer hotels. Suffice it to say that the bed definitely passed my cleanliness inspection!
The bathroom was a bit cramped, but it did come with a sufficient supply of towels and even a bath robe. The complimentary soaps and shampoos weren't too shabby either.
Probably the only disappointing part of the stay was the TV and internet situation. The TV wasn't working when I first arrived, but to their credit, they promptly fixed it. The Aladdin is supposed to have wireless Internet, but the signal is so bad, I couldn't even connect. There are LAN cat-5 jacks in the rooms, but no cable was supplied. I don't know if they offered one or not, as I ended up using an adjacent hotel's wireless signal.
Breakfast here was $11.99 for the buffet. It's definitely not worth it. Everything was soggy, chewy, or tasted like something Aunt Jemima accidentally sat on... Um yeah. You'd fare better at ihop.
Checkout was simple and fast. The location is great and nearby several shops and bars. I'd definitely stay here again. -
Review from tom k.

Part of life is acceptance. You just have to accept what you get at the Aladdin. If you're expecting Holiday Inn shades of mauve and sleep-inducing hotel art-- you're SOL. If you're expecting super-sized rooms, wide corridors, and a football field-sized lobby-- sorry hit the road. What you DO get at the Aladdin is a historic hotel furnished with surprisingly modern and chic touches. The Aladdin is easily the nicest and most stylish Holiday Inn I've ever seen. It doesn't look anything like the kid-friendly, breakfast buffet, just-an-Interstate-exit-away Holiday Inn dotting the suburban landscape. This place is character-rich from floor to ceiling.
Accepting all this character comes with at least a few (potential) drawbacks. One of the first thing you'll notice is the oompa loompa-sized elevators. I'm guessing Americans have gotten a lot bigger (both vertically and horizontally) since Coolidge was president and this is a vivid illustration. Upon entering the room one might call it small, but I prefer compact. One could call the view of the hotel's HVAC system blighted, but I prefer to call the view industrious. And the fact the people walking in the halls sounding like they're actually in your room? I call that community-enhancing design. In all seriousness, if you want BIG and MODERN you shouldn't check in at the HI Aladdin.
Part of the allure of the Aladdin is that it's a revamped historic space. Peering over the second floor railing of the hotel lobby you can watch travelers check-in as you sip a premo cocktail from the hotel bar. Honestly, it's not the most exciting bar as it seems to have scant business and closes ridiculously early, but it's still a part of the property that's transformative. The rich, dark furnishings set in this vintage 1925 building make you feel like you are somewhere else...perhaps in a different time or a different city from the KC we know today. The Aladdin has a personality. That personality cannot be hidden in the corridors, the rooms, the views or the lobby with any shade of beige. If you're looking for an economical place to take in the sights of KC as well as its history...won't find many to match the Aladdin. -

This place has so much potential - too bad it only LOOKS nice.
The lobby is very cool and the rooms are all designed mod - in red, green, gray, black and white. The room was very nice.
Too bad this place:
Advertises free Internet. The wifi never worked. When told to try the Ethernet cord connection, I did. and it worked.... better. It took 3 minutes for any webpage to load. NOT good for business travelers.
My room was not cleaned/attended to (and no my do not disturb was not up). When I called down at 5pm to tell them I was given no apology and told someone would come up - I asked that they come at 530 - when I leave for dinner/event. A housekeeping person comes to my door at 520pm with TONS of attitude and says "you just need more towels or what?" WTF -- later when I returned she did give me new towels, and make up the bed, etc but did not wipe anything down, or take out the trash nor give me new lotion, soap, etc.
The nice flat panel TV - never worked. I even GOT UP and hit power on the actual TV - nothing. It was plugged in.
Service in the Zebra Lounge Restaurant for the buffet breakfast has nice but not very fast or efficient. The hotel is very close to the convention center so that was easy but overall I don't think I would try it again. The Marriott and Phillips are one block away.Listed in: Because of Work..., Hotels - across the US....

This place is decent... I prefer the Crowne plaza next door.
UPSIDE:
People at front desk were nice
Next to convention center
TV has dvd player
lobby is in 1920s art deco style
DOWNSIDE:
1) WIFI didn't work: We had to switch rooms twice. The wifi did not work in our first room, so they moved us to a second room. In the second room the wifi still didn't work. When they sent a maintaince man upto fix the problem. He was rude and blamed it on me and didn't lift a finger to help.
So, we spoke to the manager and were finally moved on our second day into a third room where the wifi worked. The third room was in the center of the hotel right next to one of the internet switches... but our view was of a brick wall. Even in the daytime with all the windows opened it looked like nighttime
2) Poor cleanliness: The room was not too clean. There was hair on the bathroom floor, the tub had mold in it and the toilet was dirty underneath the seat.
3) Old bed: The bed sheets were really old and a little scratchy.
4) Room service issues: We ordered our breakfast for 6:30AM the next day (we had a morning flight and were on a tight schedule). They completely lost our order and we didn't get our food.
Overall: poor maintenance, poor cleanliness and nothing special about the bed.Listed in: Kansas City Trip

FML! Honestly, I've yet to see such small rooms since I've been in the U.K. I am miserable here and I HAVE to be here for another 4 days...FAIL! I've been to the rooms at the Crowne Plaza & the Marriott tonight and they FAR EXCEED this joint. I literally had to chance rooms; because, my first one had dark curly short hairs (you get the point?) all over the bed and somebody was playing the Clarinet NON-STOP when I was unpacking. Urgh!
Word to the wise, nice daytime people.
RUDE night time people, at least the guy who is downstairs now is a GROUCH.
Hopefully the stay goes better, but lets be honest....chances are it won't! Just get me out of here, por favor god. -

Though I live only about six miles from the Aladdin, I still decided to stay there after a black-tie event this past weekend. I'd driven by and heard about the Aladdin for a while and wanted to check it out for myself, finally. I was definitely not disappointed - this is not your average Holiday Inn. The Aladdin is an 80 year old, boutique hotel that was just reopened in the last year or two.
From the moment your car is parked by the Valet, it feels like a more expensive hotel than it really is. The lobby is beautiful and classic, yet it feels modern too. Above the lobby is an open-balcony that also serves as the hotel's martini bar. There is also a restaurant, the Zebra Lounge, in the hotel. The staff is extremely professional and treated me great.
The room was definitely not large, but for just over $100 a night downtown, it was great. The king-size bed was comfy, the colors and decor of the room were much nicer than a normal hotel room and the 36" flat screen was great too. The shower/bathroom were also above and beyond what I expected; with a dual-head shower nozzle, I took the longest shower I may have ever taken - incredibly refreshing.
The Aladdin has much more charm than most of the downtown hotels, though I'd say the Hilton President is nicer (as it should be, given the price). I'd recommend the Aladdin to anyone staying downtown or if you've got guests from out of town. Its a unique hotel, unlike the Marriott or others in the area. -

I can't say enough about this hotel! Amy, Drew, Dale and the whole staff were MORE than accommodating! This hotel is a GEM! In my opinion, there is nothing like this as close to the Power and Light District. Other places, while nice, are pale in comparison to The Aladdin (Holiday Inn) in Kansas City. I was at 1st thrown off by the name, being the traveler I am, usually we are not always excited to stay at a Holiday Inn when given other options. However, this one, is very boutique and has such a great staff and rooms. I chose this over the Hilton and am SO GLAD I did. We will be back. I also had the BEST spa treatments here at the hotel spa which is so reasonably priced and has the most talented staff. I didn't want to leave. Really! Thanks again!

Stayed here for a long week a few weeks ago and was very impressed for a Holiday Inn.
Initially parking can be a bit tricky since they don't have anywhere other than curbside, so if that is busy you end parking a little bit away to check in.
Upon checking in you are given a complimentary champagne glass which was actually tasty.
As others have mentioned the elevators are a bit small and slow but nothing that would degrade your expereince.
The rooms are a bit small but nicely appointed and furnished. The windows atleast on our level were sealed shut so they could not be opened which was a bit of shame as it was very nice out.
We chose to Valet as we would be coming and going quite a bit which made it cheaper than the city garage accross the street.
The location was really nice, very close to the Power and light district which was nice as we could walk to the bars and back.
The only real negatives about this place were the room service and the walls. It seemed as if the door to our room was paper thin, we could hear anything and everything that was happening outside.
As mentioned the room service left a little to be desired. Even though we left the do not disturb sign on our room every morning they would knock on the door tell we told them to go away, and when they did come they did not make up the bed. Which we found a bit odd.
Overall it was a good expereince and we will probably be returning. -

I attending a KC Magazine release party here last summer. Though the name "Aladdin" screams anything but chic, the interior was just that. The primary color scheme is black and white with punches of red.
There is an area referred to as the "Martini Loft" on the second floor. It is not so much a loft as a mezzanine. It is slightly awkward in layout, especially for an event. There is one cozy area to hide away in the back by the bathrooms.
I checked it out a second time around the holidays and there was only one other couple in the entire place. The automatic piano was stuck on "Winter Wonderland"- I thought I might go nuts. The bartender tried to fix it, but the thing was possessed.
What was consistent with both visits is that the bartender was really charming and helpful. He was probably happy just to see someone. But, where are all the people? It felt like the Shining, gone modern. This hotel needs marketing. -

Charming hotel, great location, average service.
PROS:
- only a block away from the Midland Theatre & next to the Power & Light District.
- Cute rooms & lobby decor
- complimentary champagne when we checked in
- comfy beds
CONS:
- Small rooms & elevators (except for one)
- bar closed at 10pm (maybe because it was Sunday)
- Our toilet was broken, but was quickly fixed
- They sell beer in the lobby, but there isn't a bottle opener to be found in the entire building (they finally sent up some random guy who let us borrow his)
I would stay here again. -

My sister recently got married in Kansas City and the Holiday Inn - Aladdin was our wedding HQ and where almost everyone that attended the wedding stayed.
Apart from some minor room block reservation issues (nothing that we weren't able to finally sort out when we all got there) this place is fantastic. From the moment you check in and they offer you complimentary champagne, you know you're going to be treated right.
The rooms are adorable - bright lime green walls with red, white and black accents. And the suite was fantastic (we had an after party in the jacuzzi). Each room had a large TV with DVD player, white terry cloth robes, and a little welcoming towel animal (we got an elephant).
The staff were incredibly accommodating - they called our rooms every day asking if there was anything they could do to make our stay "more magical." Love it.
This place is high class without the high cost and very, very charming. Everyone that stayed there loved the experience and I'd happily stay there again anytime. -

It's an OK, safe place. Could've been a better experience.
The TV took about 25 - 30 tries to get it turned on, and about 10 - 20 to turn off.
The breakfast buffet could use a better selection with more fruit. The high fat content of what was offered made me bedridden for half a day. :( -

Stayed here last Sat night. Before I give the hotel the review- let me tell ya, I got this room thru http://Priceline.com Name Your Own Price. I selected that I didnt want to pay more then $50/night for a 2-3 star hotel. I was thinking "yeah right" but low and behold this hotel came up!
Now- back to the hotel itself. I really enjoyed my stay there! Very pretty!! Our room was a little bit small but not bad! The staff was great!!!! They even gave us a bottle of free champagne cuz there was a dirty towel in our room! Flat screen TV in the room, super comfy bed. And VERY well priced room service! I was shocked at that one! We had breakfast and my eggs and toast and hash browns and my sisters Belgin waffles came up to like $20! And it was tasty!
Oh and the shower... amazing! It has duel heads and it never runs out of water and has perfect pressure (and we were on the 14th floor)
The only thing that totally sucks is that there is no free parking! I had to park across the street and pay $13!! So that was not good.
Other then that, I really enjoyed our stay at the Aladdin and will be coming back! -

After arriving in KC, we walked around the area near the convention center looking at, and pricing hotels. After checking rates of 4 different hotels we decided that the Aladdin was our favorite, so we went back. We told the lady at the front desk this and she actually gave us a considerable discount, which was fantastic. The rooms are very nice and clean, with LCD tv's, free wifi, coffee,etc... The hotel is right across from the parking garage, which is nice, and there is lot's of stuff within walking distance to do including KC Live! The bartender (Barney?) was really nice, and helped us find a great place for dinner. Awesome stay. A+

An above average hotel stay at the Aladdin for me! It is run by holiday inn and I thought the rooms were good in size but the bathrooms were very small! Room decor was very modern and tasteful. Have DVD players in the rooms which was nice if you're staying for a while on business. They served champagne upon our check in which was a big thumbs up in my book! It was kept very clean and is very close to all the big kc attractions and venues! Power and light district rocks for night life which is right around the corner.

We really enjoyed our two-night stay here--nicely decorated and so not your typical Holiday Inn, and I've stayed in a lot of them. The staff is wonderful--friendly, helpful, courteous. Only downside was that the rollout sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable, but I've slept on worse. Very convenient to the theatres and restaurants.

This is such an adorable hotel and it's so cheap! We paid under $100 per night. The rooms appear to have been recently renovated, and the bed was really comfortable. The valet let me leave my car out front while I checked in and freshened up. I really appreciated this since they don't have a proper drive. I would definitely stay here again.

Pricelined this place for a really cheap price. kind of a bummer for the kids as they dont have a pool. close to conv cener and sprint center. I thought the service was really good.
